The 18-year-old world junior 5,000 meters record holder outran American Galen Rupp and fellow Ethiopian Dejen Gebremeskel to win the featured 3,000 meters in seven minutes, 32.87 seconds, beating American Bernard Lagat's time of 7:34.71 set hours earlier in Karlsruhe, Germany. Rupp, runner-up to British training partner Mo Farah in the London Olympics 10,000, took second in 7:33.67, the second fastest performance by an American. Olympic 5,000 meters silver medalist Gebremeskel was third in 7:43.32. Suhr soared 4.76 meters (15 feet, 7 1/4 inches) on her first attempt before missing twice at an American record 4.90 meters (16 feet, 3/4 inches). “The first attempt was really good and I was just a little short,” Suhr told reporters. Three-time Olympic gold medalist Tirunesh Dibaba dominated the infrequently run women's two-mile, winning in 9:13.17, but the time was much slower than she wanted. “I was thinking of running (world record) 9:02 or 9:04 if I had the race I wanted. “I took the pace very early, I could not run faster,” Dibaba said. “I was hoping someone else would lead more but that didn't happen.” World indoor silver medalist Murielle Ahoure of the Ivory Coast added to her success at 60 meters with a time of 7.07 seconds and American Matthew Centrowitz won the mile in 3:56.26. — Reuters
