Lauren Fleshman won the 5000 in the London 2011 DL meet.

Yeah I remember Lauren winning that race in 2011, I thought it was a diamond league??
Regardless, a fantastic result from Ben True, one of the good guys we can root for. Always classy on and off the course, but fiercely competitive, blue collar worker, nice guy. I am excited to see him continue to improve and ASCEND TO GODLIKE STATUS.
He is also one hot hunk of man-flesh. I mean seriously. Blue steel anyone?
