Men race with Bernard Lagat able to control all the race(always fantastic see him running) and when in last 100m he started to push,we clearly tought about a royal battle and the best was in last 50m an excellent Mathew Centrowitz who close to finishline very strong and won the race.Fanstatic season for this guy after a beginning injuried and now still in a great shape. Women the same kind of race with Jenny Simpson to lead the pack but in the last 100m the magic kick of Brenda Martinez,well put in the group for all the race,give her the triumph in the famous mile!!
