Pre Classic/ Friday night, 29 May 2015, from IAAF

Mo Farah won the 10,000m in 2011, and again in 2015! photo by PhotoRun.net

A great night of track and field. The long jump and shot put were fantastic as Joe Kovacs won the shot from David Storl. In the long jump, Tianna Bartoletta got a 7.11m leap off and that was not her best jump!

In the 5,000 meters, a gutty and fun race with Galen Rupp opening his season in third, and in the 10,000 meters, Mo Farah showed his stuff–and won in a race that was tactical and full of pace changes!
