The time, 27:30.06, won&rsquo;t threaten any of the world&rsquo;s top 10,000m runners. Lopez Lomong is merely 17th on the 2019 world list.
But considering he ran his closing 400 metres in 55.59 and has one of the biggest ranges in athletics history, the 34-year-old Lomong will be a threat ahead of the IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019.
Few have ever run 1:45 for 800m plus 27:30 for 10,000m, as Lomong has. The only other American to do so was Alan Webb. Lomong's other PBs include 3:32.20 for 1500m, 3:51.45 for a mile and 13:07.95 for 5000m.
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s amazing. I didn&rsquo;t think about,&rdquo; he said Thursday night after successfully defending his 10,000m title at the USA Championships at Des Moines, Iowa. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s something I celebrate about. I just put my head down.
&ldquo;In the World Championships, we&rsquo;ll see what I can do. I&rsquo;ll go back to the drawing board and see how I can go back and be competitive.&rdquo;
Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, immigrated to the United States at 16 and became a citizen in 2007. He made the US Olympic team in 2008 in the 1500m and carried the flag at the opening ceremony. He was 10th in the 5000m at the 2012 Olympics but had not made a US team since 2013 because of a series of injuries.
Lomong dropped his previous PB in the 10,000m by nearly 50 seconds from 28:21.37 at Stanford last year. It was his debut at the distance.
&ldquo;It was terrible. I finished second, and I was like, &lsquo;Forget it. I don&rsquo;t want to do it any more," he said.
He reconsidered, and won the national title in 28:58.38. Shadrack Kipchirchir was not going to allow another tactical race such as that one.
Kipchirchir towed the field through 2000 metres in 5:30 and 5000m in about 13:45. He said his goal was to finish 27:30, even with a light rain and 82 percent humidity.
&ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;Whoever wins has to run. I just went and pushed it,&rdquo; he said.
Kipchirchir, whose PB is 27:07.55, was within a second of Lomong after 24 laps. But the winner picked up 17 seconds on the final lap, in which Kipchirchir ran 72 seconds for a time of 27:47.71. It was the fourth successive runner-up finish for Kipchirchir at the national championships.
Leonard Korir was third in 28:01.43 to claim the third Doha spot. The top three all have met the World Championships standard.
Of the 16 runners ahead of Lomong on the world list, 13 came from the July 17 race at Hengelo, 10 of them Ethiopians. Lomong became No. 14 on the all-time U.S. list, just behind Craig Virgin, who prefaced his 27:29.16 in 1980 by winning the IAAF world cross country title.
Lomong called himself the &ldquo;grandpa&rdquo; of the Bowerman Track Club in Portland, Oregon, and said the &ldquo;young energy&rdquo; of teammates fuels him.
&ldquo;I love running. I love to prepare and try to wear that USA on my chest and represent my nation the best I can,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s what motivates me, the people, the American people cheering me. That&rsquo;s why I keep putting my shoes on and going for it.&rdquo;
<h3>Fifth straight 10,000m title for Huddle</h3>
Another veteran, 34-year-old Molly Huddle, scored a fifth successive victory in the women&rsquo;s 10,000m. She ran the last mile in 4:44 and second 5000 in 15:20 for a time of 31:58.47.
Huddle will attempt to reach the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the marathon but said she loves the track.
&ldquo;Once you do a marathon, you really feel you can do anything,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting older in my career, and every World Championships team is a blessing. I never take them for granted.&rdquo;
Emily Sisson was second in 32:02.19 and Kellyn Taylor third in 32:02.74. Marielle Hall was fifth in 32:14.41 but claimed the third Doha team spot because she has met the standard.
<h3>In first race since childbirth, Felix advances</h3>
In her first race in 13 months, Allyson Felix was fourth in a heat of the 400m in 52.20 and advanced to the semifinals. She gave birth to daughter Camryn in an emergency Caesarean section on November.
Winner of her heat, in 51.14, was Lynna Irby, 20. Irby was five years old when Felix won her first Olympic medal in 2004.
&ldquo;I felt rusty, which was to be expected,&rdquo; Felix said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve known for a while that I was going to run in the championships . . . it was always my goal. It was just a matter of what type of form I would be in, and it&rsquo;s not up to my standard.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been at this a long time, so it&rsquo;s always nice to feel the support of the crowd.&rdquo;
Felix turns 34 on 18 November. She is already the oldest Olympic women&rsquo;s 400m medalist in history.
Defending champion Shakima Wimbley had the fastest time, 50.87.

Keturah Orji sails to a fourth successive US title in the triple jump</div>
&nbsp;
Keturah Orji became the first women to win four successive US titles in the triple jump, leaping 14.56m in the first round. National record-holder Tori Franklin was second with 14.36m.
Elsewhere:
Sam Matthis also won with a first-round attempt, throwing the discus 66.69m. Brian Williams was second at 65.76m. Mason Finley, bronze medallist at the 2017 worlds, was seventh at 61.05m.
Ariana Ince climbed out of seventh place with a fifth-round javelin throw of 61.06m to upset Kara Winger, an eight-time US champion and national record-holder. Winger, second at 59.73m, has finished in the top three every year since 2008.
Justin Gatlin was second in his heat of the 100m in 10.16 (-0.8). He does not have to run in the semifinals because he has a bye for Doha as defending champion. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care how big of an athlete you are, you always have first-round jitters,&rdquo; he said. World leader Christian Coleman coasted to victory in his heat in 10.29 (-1.6).
Two streaks were preserved. Michael Norman won his 15th straight race at 400, clocking 44.81 in the opening round. Bryce Hoppel is 21-0 in the 800m this year, taking his heat in 1:47.65.
In tribute, USA Track &amp; Field honored Gabe Grunewald by leaving flowers in lane 1 at the start of 1500m heats. She died on 11 June from cancer.

Lopez Lomong and Molly Huddle successfully defended their 10,000m titles as theUS championships got underway in Des Moines.

Lomong and Huddle successfully defend 10,000m titles as US championships begin in Des Moines

Noah Lyles is doing things at age 20 that... well, things not even Usain Bolt did. There might never be a sprinter to match Bolt, but Lyles is trying to emulate him in performance and showmanship.
Lyles caught Ronnie Baker in the final strides Friday (22) to win the 100m in 9.88, the fastest in the world this year, on day two of the US Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
That makes Lyles the world leader in both the 100m and 200m, in which he ran 19.69 on 26 May at Eugene, Oregon. Moreover, his PBs are now faster than those of a 20-year-old Bolt, whose times were 10.03 and 19.75 in 2007.
Lyles, the 100m gold medalist at the IAAF World U20 World Championships Bydgoszcz 2016, is the youngest US athlete to be both sub-10 and sub-20. He became the youngest US champion in the 100m since Sam Graddy in 1984. Lyles acknowledged he did not think his first US title would be in the 100m.
&ldquo;I thought it would be the 200m,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;So to come out here and win the 100m, it makes me very happy. I&rsquo;ve proved: one, I&rsquo;m not just a 200m runner, and two, I&rsquo;m out here with the big dogs and I&rsquo;m trying to be just as good as them.&rdquo;
Afterwards, he bowed to the crowd and did a &ldquo;Shoot&rdquo; dance introduced by rapper BlocBoy JB and popularised in Fortnite, a video game. Lyles wore &ldquo;Incredibles&rdquo; socks from the animated Disney movies.
He said he plans dance moves and themes before meets &ldquo;in case I win&rdquo;.
He won his semifinal in 9.89, equaling the world lead of Mike Rodgers from Thursday&rsquo;s heats. Rodgers scratched from semifinals, joining a long list of stars missing from these championships.
Yet the 100m champion was nearly neither Rodgers nor Lyles, considering Baker&rsquo;s lead. The 60m bronze medalist from the World Indoor Championships in March was finally overtaken and finished second in a PB of 9.90.
Kendal Williams was third and Isiah Young fourth, both in 10.00. Cameron Burrell, whose father Leroy once held the world record, was fifth in 10.04.
Lyles said he has been coming from behind since age 13, especially in the 100m.
&ldquo;It made the race that much more interesting,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;For a second there, I didn&rsquo;t know if I got it. I felt like in my heart I got it. But you never have it until the screen says you do.&rdquo;
The only other sprinters to run sub-9.90 twice in the same day have been Jamaicans Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin and Trayvon Bromell of the US.
<h3>Hobbs takes women's 100m title</h3>
Aleia Hobbs also achieved a historic victory, becoming the first collegian to win the women&rsquo;s 100m since Carlette Guidry of the University of Texas in 1991. Hobbs, the NCAA champion from Louisiana State, won the final in 10.91. She was sub-11 in all three rounds, clocking 10.97, 10.89w and 10.91.

&nbsp;
Ashley Henderson was second in a PB of 10.96. Jenna Prandini was third in 10.98, her fastest since 2016.
Hobbs said it was disappointing that world champion Tori Bowie was absent.
&ldquo;Just &lsquo;cause that&rsquo;s Tori Bowie. I would love to race her,&rdquo; Hobbs said. &ldquo;I know it&rsquo;s coming soon. I&rsquo;m looking forward to it.&rdquo;
In the men&rsquo;s triple jump, two-time Olympic champion Christian Taylor had to head to the runway soon after he ran a 45.95 semifinal of the 400m. He passed his first attempt, fouled, and then passed again.
With Taylor out, Donald Scott jumped 17.37m, nearly breaking Taylor&rsquo;s Drake Stadium record of 17.40m from 2011. Chris Bernard was second at 17.32m and KeAndre Bates third at 17.16m.
Zach Ziemek won the decathlon &ndash; part of the IAAF Combined Events Challenge &ndash; with 8294, nipping the stadium record of 8291 set by Ashton Eaton at the 2013 US Championships. Ziemek is the first US decathlon champion other than Eaton or Trey Hardee since 2010. Ziemek was first or second in six events, posting his highest scores in the 100m (10.64) and pole vault (5.35m).
In the heats on Friday, world record-holder Keni Harrison was fastest in the 100m hurdles at 12.46.
In the finals on Thursday, Keturah Orji did not reclaim her US record but set a championships record of 14.59m in winning the triple jump for a third successive year. World leader Tori Franklin, who set a US record of 14.84m last month, first broke the 14-year-old meeting record (14.45m by Tiombe Hurd) with a distance of 14.52m in the second round. Franklin held that record for about five minutes, or until Orji came through with 14.59m in the third round.
<h3>Lomong and Huddle take 10,000m titles</h3>
Lopez Lomong and Molly Huddle earned historic wins in the 10,000m with fast finishes.
Lomong ran the closing 400 metres in 54.16 to take the men&rsquo;s race in 28:58.38. His other national title was in the 1500m in 2010, making him the first in 90 years to achieve such a double. Joie Ray won eight titles in the mile from 1915-23, and the 10,000m in 1928. Shadrack Kipchirchir was second to Lomong in 28:59.67.
The 33-year-old Huddle led each lap and became the first woman to win four straight 10,000m titles. She ran the final 800 metres in 2:13.50, featuring a 64.52 last lap, to finish in 31:52.32. It was her 27th national title, counting track and road.
Elsewhere in field events, Valarie Allman won the discus at 63.55m and Kara Winger the javelin at 62.88m. It was the eighth US championship in the javelin for Winger, second in history behind Dorothy Dodson, who won 11 in succession (1939-49).
The biggest surprise of Thursday&rsquo;s heats was failure of defending champion and US leader Robby Andrews (3:36.05) to qualify for the final of the 1500m. He was sixth in one of three semifinals in 3:43.89 and did not advance on time. Olympic champion Matt Centrowitz won his semifinal in 3:46.05 off a 54.85 last lap.

Lyles clocks 9.88 world lead to take US 100m title

Trinidad and Tobago&rsquo;s Lalonde Gordon and Mikel Thomas, as well as American hurdler Lolo Jones, provided the highlights of the second day of the NACAC Senior Championships in San Jose, Costa Rica, but the USA continued its dominance by taking 10 of the 13 finals contested on Saturday (8).One day after setting a championship record of 44.64, his fastest time since claiming the London 2012 Olympic Games 400m bronze medal, the 26-year-old Gordon confirmed his fine form by taking the title over one lap of the track in 44.89, coming home ahead of local favourite, 2012 world indoor champion Nery Brenes, who was second in 45.22. Thomas added a second gold for Trinidad and Tobago by taking the 110m hurdles in 13.23, a new championship record, just a few days after setting a national record of 13.17 for silver at the Pan American Games in Canada.Two-time former world indoor champion Lolo Jones, from the USA, took the 100m hurdles crown with 12.63, but the time will not go to the record books as a result of an extravagant 4.1 mps tailwind. Her compatriot and Pan American Games champion Tenaya Jones finished a close second with 12.68.The 100m did not produce the fast times expected after the heats&rsquo; results on Friday but did provide a few upsets. After setting championship records in their heats, Jamaica&rsquo;s Samantha Henry-Robinson (11.01 on Friday) and Sheldon Mitchell (10.07) were left out of the medals.Barbara Pierre and Charonda Williams made it a one-two for the USA. Pierre stopped the clock first with 11.12 while Henry-Robinson finished a distant fifth with 11.45.Fifth in the 100m and a 4x100m gold medallist at the recent Pan American Games, USA&rsquo;s Remontay McClain clinched the 100m gold here with 10.09, 0.02 shy of his season&rsquo;s and personal best. &nbsp;Barbados&rsquo; Ramon Gittens (10.11) and Levi Cadogan (10.13) completed the podium while Mitchell had a race to forget and finished seventh with 10.31. Both 100m finals were into 0.1 mps headwinds.The field events also saw a number of championship records fall. USA&rsquo;s 2011 world championships bronze medallist Jill Camarena-Williams improved the meeting mark to 18.62m in the shot put, winning by more than a metre, while Amber Campbell and Cameron Burrell were also victorious in the women&rsquo;s hammer throw and the men&rsquo;s long jump, with winning distances of 72.41m and 8.06m respectively.<h3>Wheating add to his gold reserves</h3>American runners also dominated the distance events. Fresh from his Pan American gold, Andrew Wheating took the men&rsquo;s 1500m title in 3:45.08 while Rachel Schneider won the women&rsquo;s final in 4:14.78; Lopez Lomong took the top honours in the 5000m with 13:57.53, with championship records for all three runner.In a modest and rather bizarre men&rsquo;s pole vault final, El Salvador&rsquo;s 17-year-old Natan Rivera was the only one of the six competitors to clear a height and emerged as the unheralded winner.Rivera, who his country sadly didn&rsquo;t even send to last month&rsquo;s IAAF World Youth Championships, was the lowest ranked vaulter in the field and arrived in San Jose with a best set earlier this season of 4.67m. The teenager presumably was expecting just to witness a masterclass from the likes of USA&rsquo;s 2007 world champion Brad Walker, a man who holds the area record with 6.04m, and Cuba&rsquo;s Lazaro Borges, the 2011 world championships silver medallist, and had no realistic medal ambitions.Rivera entered at the competition&rsquo;s opening height of 4.55m and went over first time before clearing a personal best of 4.70m on his second attempt.His competition came to an end after three failures at 4.85m but Walker, Borges and USA&rsquo;s Nick Mossberg were still to start vaulting.However, none of the trio mastered the swirling, breezy conditions and, with the bar well over five metres, all three failed their opening heights to leave Rivera as the totally unexpected gold medallist &ndash; and the only man standing on the podium when the medals were distributed.The 2nd NACAC Senior Championships will conclude on Sunday at San Jose&rsquo;s National Stadium with 18 finals, including all relays.Javier Clavelo Robinson for the IAAF

World champion Mariya Abakumova was a comfortable winner of the women’s Javelin at the Russian Winter Throwing Championships in Adler, while the men’s equivalent – won by Dmitriy Tarabin – saw three men break 82 metres.Abakumova, who owns the second-best mark in history with her 71.99m winning throw from the Daegu World Championships, launched her spear out to 63.10m on her second attempt. She had just one other valid throw, a 59.73m effort in the final round, but she had done more than enough to win. Oksana Gromova finished second with 58.00m.Abakumova’s winning throw was just 26cm shy of the world-leading mark set by European champion Vera Rebryk two weeks ago in Yalta, Ukraine.The men’s event was a much closer affair. World finalist Dmitriy Tarabin opened with 81.77m while European silver medallist Valeriy Iordan threw 81.36m. Tarabin improved to 82.89m in the second round, then 2004 World junior champion Aleksey Tovarnov applied the pressure with a throw of 82.54m, adding more than a metre to his PB.Iordan then snatched the lead with a throw of 83.56m, a PB for the 21-year-old, but Tarabin responded straight away with a PB himself, throwing a world-leading 85.63m.World and Olympic champion Tatyana Lysenko was also in good form. After opening with 72.83m, she improved to 73.19m in round two, then produced her best mark of the series in the penultimate round, throwing 74.07m. European bronze medallist Anna Bulgakova was second with 72.78m while Gulfiya Khanafeyeva was third (71.41m).European silver medallist Aleksey Zagorniy won the men’s event with 76.91m, just 36cm ahead of Anatoliy Pozdnyakov. The women’s discus was similarly close, with Yekaterina Strokova snatching victory from Yelena Panova in the fourth round, 61.09m to 60.77m.Flying start to 2013 for AdamsThere was also some top throwing on the other side of the world, courtesy of Olympic champion Valerie Adams.Competing in the ‘Shot in the City’ – a special one-off indoor competition held in Queens Wharf on the Auckland waterfront – Adams produced a winning throw of 20.75m, easily her best ever season’s debut and farther than her winning mark from the Olympic Games. Trinidad &amp; Tobago’s Cleopatra Borel-Brown finished more than three metres behind with 17.13m.Lomong breaks Lagat’s American recordAt the Columbia Final Qualifier in New York, distance coach Jerry Schumacher set up an indoor 5000m race with the main intention of giving his athletes a chance to achieve the 13:15 qualifying time for the IAAF World Championships in Moscow.The plan worked, and Olympic finalist Lopez Lomong not only gained the qualifying standard but he also took down Bernard Lagat’s American indoor 5000m record. Paced through the first (2:38.88) and second (5:16.67) kilometres by Travis Mahoney, Dan Huling then took up the pace-making duties and took the field through 3000m in 7:53.46.Lomong then finished off the job and opened up a lead over the field with Chris Derrick the only athlete able to get anywhere close to him. Lomong crossed the line in 13:07.00, taking 0.15 off Lagat’s record, while Derrick clocked 13:12.00 to comfortably dip inside the standard for Moscow. American Steeplechase record-holder Evan Jager finished fifth in 13:33.37 as the whole field set PBs. Jon Mulkeen for the IAAF

Abakumova among winners in Adler, Adams opens big in Auckland, Lomong sets American record

World champion Mariya Abakumova was a comfortable winner of the women’s Javelin at the Russian Winter Throwing Championships in Adler, while the men’s equivalent – won by Dmitriy Tarabin – saw three men break 82 metres.

New York, USA – US indoor records by Bernard Lagat in the Two Miles, as well as Alysia Montano and Erik Sowinski in the men’s and women’s 600m respectively, highlighted the 106th Millrose Games at The Armory on Saturday evening (16).The famous meeting is the second stop of the 2013 Indoor USATF Championship Series, which also includes the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston – an&nbsp;IAAF Indoor Permit&nbsp;meeting – held on 2 February, and the USATF Indoor Championships in Albuquerque on 1-2 March.Lagat clocked 8:09.49 to dip under the mark of 8:09.72 set by Galen Rupp in 2012 in the first running of the event at the Millrose Games since 1979. Johnson ran 1:23.59 in the first-ever appearance of the women’s 600m on a Millrose games programme to shatter the 1981 standard of 1:26.56 set by Delisa Walton. In the men’s 600m, Sowinski took down Duane Solomon’s mark of 1:15.70 set in Glasgow three weeks ago.The meeting also included world-leading marks by Darvis 'Doc' Patton in the 60m with 6.50 and a meeting record of 3:51.24 by Lopez Lomong in the famed Wanamaker Mile.Lagat getting better with ageLagat, 38, set his eighth US record in winning the Two Miles in 8:09.72, turning the race into a time trial after breaking away from Evan Jaeger with 800 metres to go.&nbsp;“I was more concerned about getting the time than in winning, because when it comes down to the last two laps, 400 metres, I was going to hold off anybody,” said Lagat, whose triumph was the 10th Millrose title for Lagat in 12 appearances , which also included a record eight Wanamaker Mile wins and a US 5000m record last year.His time also eclipsed his facility record of 8:10.07 in 2011 and obliterated the meeting record of 8:28.00 set by Ethiopia’s two-time Olympic champion Miruts Yifter in 1974.There was no one within striking distance of Lagat on Saturday. Andrew Bumbalough was second in 8:13.02 and 2012 NCAA 5000m and 10000m champion Cam Levins edged Jaeger for third, 8:14.69 to 8:14.95. “People ask me: `How do you do it at 38?’ I say, `The magic is in the training’,’’added &nbsp;Lagat .“When we begin our training in the beginning of the year, there is one important race, The Armory.”Lagat’s seven-year old son Miika Lagat took a victory lap with his father and credited Lagat’s cheetah spotted spikes that he suggested to be made for his dad.“They’re awesome,” said Lagat junior. “They make you fast.”Lagat also helped pull Edward Cheserek, who finished eighth, to national high school record of 8:39.15 to break a 49-year-old mark of 8:40.0.Sowinski and Montano also enter the record booksSowinski’s &nbsp;win in 1:15.61, the fifth fastest time ever, was the second time the US 600m record had been broken in the last three weeks.&nbsp; The record had lasted 26 years before Solomon ran 1:15.70 in Glasgow on 26 January and &nbsp;he appeared to be on pace for another record at the Millrose Games, taking the lead from the gun before being passed by Sowinski on the home stretch and coming home second in 1:16.04.In the rarely-run women’s 600m, Montano looked set to break the 2004 world best of 1:23.44 by Russia’s Olga Kotlyarova aftre going through 400m in 54.38 but had to settle for a US record of 1:23.59, improving the previous mark by more than three seconds and the second fastest time ever.High school student Ajee’ Wilson finished second in 1:26.45 for the fastest time ever by a junior woman.Lomong outdueled defending Wanamaker Mile champion Matthew Centrowitz, 3:51.24 to 3:51.34, the fastest pair of times ever at the Millrose Games and not just on the 200m banked oval at The Armory. Ireland’s Ciaran O'Lionaird was third in 3:52.10 while Great Britain’s Chris O’Hare, of Tulsa University, was fourth in a US collegiate record 3:52.98.The top three finishers were under the meeting record of 3:52.87 run by Lagat on the tightly banked 160-yard track at Madison Square Garden in 2005. Lomong and Centrowitz also moved into third and fourth on the US all-time list.Canada’s Sheila Reid won the women’s Wanamaker Mile in 4:27.02 with 2012 World Junior Championships 1,500m finalist Mary Cain closing strongly to take second and lower her own national high school record by more than four seconds with 4:28.25.Doc Patton 6.50, DeLoach defeats ReesePatton, 35, won the 60m in a world-leading 6.50 to break his personal best of 6.58 set back in 2003. Zambia’s US-based Gerald Phiri was second in 6.64 and Keith Ricks was third in 6.67.
