by Larry EderIn one of the finest Pre Classics in memory, the 40th version shone with twenty-six men, in two separate races, under four minutes in the mile! Fourteen World Leaders, Six Meet records, one Diamond League record, and the night before, an American record in the 10,000 meters!
The last three events of the Pre Classic, featuring the Men’s 800 meters, the Men’s 5000 meters and the Bowerman Mile were among the most exciting events that I have ever seen!
More details on an amazing day of track and field shortly, but here are the complete results!
