NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Lagat will try to complete his set of American indoor records in a two-mile race in New York on Feb. 12.
The 36-year-old Lagat already holds the marks for the mile and the 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 meters. He is also the U.S. outdoor record holder for the 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000.
Lagat, who lives in Tucson, Ariz., has never run an indoor two-mile as a professional. He’s a seven-time Olympic and world championship medalist.
Lagat will chase the record at a college meet at the Armory. The rest of the field has yet to be determined. Pacesetters will help him along the way.
