Fast 5000s in Boston - Dibaba dominates, Lagat breaks US record

Tirunesh Dibaba has seen a lot of record-setting success at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, with 5000m World record races in 2005 and 2007, but her attempt to add to that resume fell short at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games as Dibaba ran 14:44.53 in a largely solo performance.

Bernard Lagat continued his run of historic races this indoor season, cutting a whopping seven seconds off the American Record for 5000m with a 13:11.51 victory.

Some of the other highlights:

* G. Dibaba vs. Rowbury at 3000m, but Gezahegn the winner

* Willis leads six under 4:00 in men's mile

* Top-four, led by Williams, dip under world best in 60m

* Jackson still perfect in 2010

* Trammell and Cherry take sprint hurdles wins

* Johnson again in the vault
