Mekonnen stops Lagat at Millrose
29.01.2011 World
New York, USA - Bernard Lagat found Deresse Mekonnen too much to handle in the Wanamaker Mile Friday evening at the 104th Millrose Games. Lagat, an eight-time winner of the capstone event at New York’s historic marquee indoor fixture, played a close game of cat and mouse with the World Indoor Champion but found his own famous closing speed insufficient to get by Mekonnen.
The Millrose Games is an IAAF Indoor Permit meeting.
Millrose’s 160-yard Madison Square Garden track also saw top performances from World Indoor champion Fabiana Murer in the Pole Vault, Heptathlon World record holder Ashton Eaton, and Shot Putter Ryan Whiting.
