M35 Bernard Lagat takes New York’s Fifth Avenue Mile in 3:50.5
From The Associated Press report on today’s Fifth Avenue Mile: “American Bernard Lagat, coming off a silver medal in the 5,000 at worlds, earned his first victory in the men’s race in his fourth try, finishing in 3 minutes, 50.5 seconds to beat defending champion Amine Laalou of Morocco by 1.2 seconds. David Torrence of San Francisco was third in 3:52.4.” Haven’t seen masters results yet, but a master took the overall title. Show the kids how to run, Bernard! Later tonight: Details on two American records set at today’s San Diego Senior Olympics — W70 200 by Kathy Bergen (about 31.7) and W50 300 hurdles by Joy Upshaw (46.17).

I continue to love Lagat. He is awesome and runs so aggressively and smart. It is starting to rub off on other runners like Galen Rupp, Jenny Simpson, and Morgan Uceny. Awesome!

Any SD Sr. Olympics results?
I briefly scanned the results and see that two people age-graded over 100%. Our own W75 Jeanne Daprano ran 7:01 and age-graded the best at 104%. Congratulations Jeanne!
