Lagat sets U.S. indoor 2-mile record; Jager 4th
NEW YORK – Bernard Lagat lagged behind his planned pace for the entire 2 miles of his race at the Millrose Games.
He still set the record he came to break.
The 38-year-old Lagat regained the American indoor mark Saturday with yet another victory at Millrose. He finished in 8 minutes, 9.49 seconds at the Armory to beat Galen Rupp's time by just .23, then fell to the track in exhaustion.
