Shalane Flanagan 10k American Record 9:27PM May 4, 2008 - Shalane Flanagan set a new American Record LIVE on FLOTRACK.ORG at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Stanford Invite with a blistering time of 30:34.49. Flanagan and Kim Smith worked together for most of the race switching back and forth to keep up the pace. The American Record was in Flanagan's eyes from the start. Smith and Flanagan broke out to a large lead early in the race that neither would relinquish. Smith held the lead for the last few laps, but Shalane clearly had plenty left. Flanagan gave a huge kick with 200m to go and tucked inside Smith to place her name in the USA Track and Field record books by breaking the previous record set by Deena Kastor. Sally Kipyego rounded out 3rd place with a 31:25.45 (Collegiate Record), followed by Sabrina Mockenhaupt 31:27.05, and Molly Huddle who finished in 5th place at 31:27.12.

Ritzenhein to defend 10k crown in Central Park on May 17 Ritzenhein, 25, of Eugene, OR, has developed a home-field advantage of sorts in Central Park, the site of two of his greatest successes. In 2007, he ran away from two-time defending champion Craig Mottram of Australia and set the event and Central Park record, clocking 28:08. Last November, he followed up his Healthy Kidney performance with a second-place finish at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Men’s Marathon in Central Park to earn a berth on the 2008 Olympic team. |
