Lopez Lomong's American record didn't even last 365 days. Rupp took the lead with 1,600 to go and shattered Lomong's mark as his old college rival Sam Chelanga ran 13:04.35 and Cam Levins got the Canadian record of 13:19.16. Mary Cain and Treniere Moser were nowhere near Jen Toomey's American record but Cain did get a new world junior mark.
Salazar also said, "If Galen is is fortunate enough to make the world championship team, Boston University still is willing to put on another world record attempt a week to 10 days after that."
