Calgary-born Grant Fisher runs to world indoor record in stacked 3,000m at Millrose Games

Calgary-born Grant Fisher walked away from the 117th Millrose Games on Saturday in New York with a win and world indoor record.

Their victories were all part of a fast-paced day at The Armory track and field center that was highlighted by Fisher toppling the mark in the men's 3,000 metres and Nuguse in the men's mile.

The 27-year-old Fisher, who grew up in Grand Blanc, Mich., set the tone with a time of seven minutes, 22.91 seconds. He broke the record of 7:23.81 set by Ethiopia's Lamecha Girma two years ago.

Fisher, the bronze medalist in the 5,000 and 10,000 at the Paris Olympics last summer, needed a strong kick just to hold on for the win.

Close behind him was Cole Hocker, who finished in 7:23.14 and would have broken the world indoor mark. Hocker is the reigning Olympic 1,500 champion.

Meanwhile, Canadian sprinter Audrey Leduc set a personal best in the women's 60, stopping the clock in 7.20 seconds for seventh in a field of nine.

Jacious Sears of the United States set a PB and world lead at 7.02 ahead of teammates Celera Barnes (7.15) and Aleia Hobbs (7.16 season best).

Sears also won the event a week ago in 7.11 at the New Balance Grand Prix in Boston, where Leduc went 7.35 for last in her heat.
