The US All-Time 5000m List Looks A Little Different This Morning

LRC Recap Woody Kincaid Burns Up Nike’s Famed Wooded Track with 12:58 PB for 5000 13:00 for Lopez, 13:01 for Centro. What a run by the Bowerman crew.

MB:Woody Kincaid 12:58, Lopez Lomong 13:00, Matthew Centrowitz 13:00 at Nike Track in Beaverton They were going for the Olympic standard (13:13.50) and hit it with ease. Kincaid (#5), Lomong (#9), and Centro (#10) all cracked the US all-time top 10.
*MB:The next American sub-13:00 5k runner is……..Woody Kincaid???

Ken Goe’s Recap:“Woody Kincaid, Lopez Lomong And Matthew Centrowitz Get The Olympic 5k Standard On A Surreal Night” Asked if he felt he was in 12:58 shape coming into the race, Kincaid was obviously shocked as he said, “I don’t know if I feel that I’m in 12:58 shape now.”
