Mzungo.org wants to point out Fam´s record attempt at the NYRR Distance Carnival.
The Men's 10,000 will be an American Record attempt for 2 time Olympican Anthony Famiglietti tonite(April 24) at the inaugural NYRR Distance Carnival at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkley, California. Famiglietti who won the 2009 USA 15,000 road championships in March and barely missed the American Road 5000 by a scant 3 seconds at the fast Carlsbad 5000 only 3 weeks ago. He will be paced by Olympian Bolota Asmersom for a solid 13:40 for the first 5000m. In a very solid field, that has been gathered to get World "A" 27.47 and World "B" standards for this summers World Outdoor Championships in Berlin, Germany. The current AR holder at 10km, Olympic Silver Medalist, Meb Keflezighi will be bidding for a PR in Sunday's Flora London Marathon. Keflezighi set the AR in Stanford prior to his Silver Medal performance in Athens 2004.
We at Mzungo.org keep our fingers crossed for the mighty Fam!
