2013 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix Results, courtesy of IAAF.org, note by Larry Eder

The 2012 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, held at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, MA, was a success for the 18th time on Saturday night, February 2, 2013. A World Leader in the women’s pole vault, 4.76m by Jenn Suhr, a World leader for two miles, 9:13.17, by Tirunesh Dibaba. A seventeen second destruction of the twenty-two year of American girls’ high school record, by Mary Cain, as she ran 9:38.68 and took third in the elite race!

On the men’s side, there was a great mile race, with Matt Centrowitz holding off Will Leer in a hotly contested race. In the final race, the men’s 3,000 meters, Hagos Gebrhewit dropped a fast 200 meters at 2,000 meters and while Galen Rupp came back over the final 200 meters, Gebrhewit ran 7:32.87, which we believe is a new WJR. (Isiah Koech ran 7:32.89, the current WJR).

The men’s 3,000 meters was a World leader, and we believe it was also an All-comers record. We are checking on the WJR and ACR.
