Calgary-born Grant Fisher runs to world indoor record in stacked 3,000m at Millrose Games
Calgary-born Grant Fisher walked away from the 117th Millrose Games on Saturday in New York with a win and world indoor record.
Their victories were all part of a fast-paced day at The Armory track and field center that was highlighted by Fisher toppling the mark in the men’s 3,000 metres and Nuguse in the men’s mile.
The 27-year-old Fisher, who grew up in Grand Blanc, Mich., set the tone with a time of seven minutes, 22.91 seconds. He broke the record of 7:23.81 set by Ethiopia’s Lamecha Girma two years ago.
Fisher, the bronze medalist in the 5,000 and 10,000 at the Paris Olympics last summer, needed a strong kick just to hold on for the win.
Close behind him was Cole Hocker, who finished in 7:23.14 and would have broken the world indoor mark. Hocker is the reigning Olympic 1,500 champion.
Meanwhile, Canadian sprinter Audrey Leduc set a personal best in the women’s 60, stopping the clock in 7.20 seconds for seventh in a field of nine.
Jacious Sears of the United States set a PB and world lead at 7.02 ahead of teammates Celera Barnes (7.15) and Aleia Hobbs (7.16 season best).
Sears also won the event a week ago in 7.11 at the New Balance Grand Prix in Boston, where Leduc went 7.35 for last in her heat.
won her 100 heat in 10.95, 1-100th faster than her previous best, to set a Canadian record at the Paris Olympics.
WATCH | Leduc runs 7.20 seconds for her fastest indoor 60 metres:
Jacious Sears of the United States finishes first in the women 60-metre race at the Millrose Games with a time of 7.02, Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., finishes seventh and sets a new personal best with a time of 7.20.
Nuguse sets mile world mark
The 25-year-old from Gatineau, Que., ran another national record of 22.36 in the 200 in Georgia last May, beating the Olympic standard of 22.57.
In the men’s 60 on Saturday, Americans Marcellus Moore, Trayvon Bromell and Pjai Austin went 1-2-3.
Fisher’s American teammate and fellow middle-distance runner, Yared Nuguse, also posted a win and world indoor mark.
He finished the Wanamaker Mile in a world-record time of 3:46.63. It eclipsed the time of 3:47.01 that Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha turned in nearly six years ago.
Like Fisher, Nuguse, 25, needed an all-out burst toward the end. Hobbs Kessler was on his heels and finished in 3:46.90, which also would’ve broken the mark that Kejelcha held.
Both world records are subject to ratification.
