RESULTS
Bernard Lagat continues to obliterate the rules of aging, and today the 41-year-old lowered his own masters world record in the road 5K to 13:38 at the Carlsbad 5000m. Lagat finished fourth on Sunday behind Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei (13:24), Kenyan Wilson Too (13:29) and Ethiopian Debeli Gezmu (13:38), and took two seconds off the 13:40 record he set at this same race a year ago.

T-Mobile CEO Joh Legere, a very wealthy running fan, made Lagat’s great day in Southern California even better by tacking on some extra prize money.

32-year-old Meseret Defar won her fourth career Carlsbad 5000 crown in 15:02. The two-time Olympic champion and six-time World champion set the 14:46 5K world record at this event 10 years ago.
