Cragg overtakes Bekele in dramatic 3,000 posted 29 January
Former University of Arkansas standout Alistair Cragg won a somewhat bizarre Reebok men's 3,000-meter run. With 400 meters remaining, Olympic 10,000-meter champion Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia appeared to be unaware that two laps remained. Sprinting as if he had only 200 meters left, Bekele crossed the start/finish line first, with Cragg behind him. But Bekele discovered that another lap yet remained. Cragg immediately passed Bekele, who never recovered. Cragg finished in 7:39.89 to Bekele's 7:41.42. Markos Geneti was third in 7:42.97. USATF
