And the bottom 5 finishers from the East Region.
4:14.5 last 1600 for Levin.

Levins, with his 28:07.14, breaks the 32-year-old Drake Stadium record, 28:07.40, run by Kip Koskei in 1980. If Levins runs the 5,000 he can chase an even old stadium record: 13:27.2 by Nick Rose in 1977.

very impressive turn of speed by Levins in the last 120m or so.

[ExCoastRanger]

Derrik led the tight pack through the penultimate lap in 63.8, according to the announcer, and Levins closed with a 58.1 -- so about 2:02 for the last 800? And yeah, that last 120 looked like a much faster pace than that.

According to the splits, Derrick and Levins were together at the bell, with Sambu .25 back. Derrick either faded away (68.20 last 400) or shut down when he saw he couldn't finish in first two, but had 3rd sewn up; he still had a comfortable margin on Puskedra. Is Derrick doubling?

Levins 2:01.66 last 800.

Derrick might be a bit worn out by the time the Trials roll around....

Is Derrick doubling?

He didn't run 5K in the regional. So this was his last race.

I guess 5K will be between Canadians (Levins, Ahmed) and Kenyans (Sambu, Lalang).
