After two agonizingly close calls here at 3000 meters, 2007 IAAF World Athlete of the Year Meseret Defar destroys the World Record for 2 Miles by breaking the tape in 9:10.50; New Zealand’s Kim Smith posts the second-fastest time in history as runner-up. Craig Mottram of Australia wows the sell-out crowd once again, turning in the fastest indoor 3000 meters ever run in the United States; and a tiny 7-year-old named Davonett Bennett brings the crowd to its feet when he digs deep to hold off his older and taller rivals in anchoring the Cambridge Jets to Youth Relay victory.
