Bobby Curtis 2nd at Stanford 10,000 in New PR of 27:24.67

Bobby Curtis finished a strong second in the Kim McDonald 10,000 at the Peyton Jordan meet at Stanford tonight. His time was 27:24.67 -- a new PR, almost 9 seconds faster than his previous PR (27:33.38) set at last year's Peyton Jordan meet. In so doing, Curtis came home ahead of many top-level American and international runners. This was the first time in history that three Americans (Curtis, Tim Nelson, and Matt Tegenkamp) broke 27:30 in the same 10,000 meter race.
