Stephen Sambu is showing his talents. This morning he ran a race in Alton, Illinois, where he ran a very fast 5k at the Miles for Meso 5k! Special thanks to Karen Locke, Sambu’s manager. Stephen broke the course record by 27 seconds!

Sambu crushes 5k field in Alton with Personal Best


Alton, Illinois- A strong field assembled to  race the Miles for Meso 5K. The men’s 2011 course records of 13:48 was shattered by (:27 sec) Stephen Sambu with at 13:21. “I frankly never thought the course record would go below 13:30. The spectacular men’s field had 7 athletes go under 14:00. The times are very impressive on a course with hills, some brick streets, and several turns, said race director, Mike Weaver.”
