On the second stop of his American indoor circuit, Myers moved up a few distances to the 3,000m, an event that clearly wasn't too much to handle. In just his second-ever race on an indoor track, Myers held on for a third-place finish in 7:33.12, a new Australian and Oceanic record, bumping Craig Mottram down to No. 2 on both lists.

Mottram had held the record since 2008 after running 7:34.50 in Boston.

Myers closed his final 800m in 1:57 to hold off American Hobbs Kessler, who finished fourth in 7:35.06.

Over the last eight days alone, Myers has set a U20 World Record in the indoor mile, as well as moved up to No. 4 on the World U20 list in the 3000m.

Truly put, Myers' epic performance into perspective, his race today would have broken Nico Young's national high school record of 7:56.97 by roughly 26 seconds.
