The oregonian filed this report on UW's Matt Tegenkamp last week:
--------
Tegenkamp came into the meet with the best U.S. mark this season in the 5,000: 13 minutes, 4.90 seconds two weeks ago in Stockholm, Sweden. He came to Hayward looking for some speedwork, and everything went as planned.
Pacesetter Jason Lunn, who had promised to take the field through the first 800 of the 1,500 in 1:54, delivered.
"He was dead-on at every split," said Tegenkamp, who competed for Wisconsin. "It was just easy to get in there, tuck in and follow."
Once Lunn dropped out, the race was Tegenkamp's. He took it, winning in a personal best of 3:36.07. Said Ahmed was second in 3:38.31.
----------
Update: He just posted a 7:34 3k in Zurich ( that = an 8:11 two mile ).
He gives a first hand account of the race here : http://www.kimbia.net/newsarticle000113.html
