Lagat makes it eight at Millrose Games

New York, USA - Bernard Lagat's quest for a historic 8th Wanamaker Mile title was rewarded on Friday evening (29th) at the 103rd Millrose Games, held in New York City's Madison Square Garden arena.

On the tight 11-laps-per-mile track, Lagat and Olympic gold medallist Asbel Kiprop duelled at the front until the final laps, when Lagat showed a late-race turn of speed which left Kiprop flat-footed. The victory put Lagat ahead of Eamonn Coghlan, who won the Wanamaker seven times in his career. Coghlan was the starter for Lagat's race.

The 103rd edition of the Millrose Games is the first of ten IAAF Indoor Permit Meetings for 2010.

Following pacemaker David Krummenacker through quarter-mile splits of
58.4 and 1:57.9, Kiprop looked sharp, bobbing up to Krummenacker's shoulder as Lagat tucked in behind with Andy Baddeley running fourth.
