Adrian Blincoe Comes 5th in OXY HP 5000 in 13:23.73

Villanova assistant coach and former NCAA champion over 3000 meters Adrian Blincoe finished 5th in a loaded 5000 meter race at the OXY High Performance meet in Los Angeles. While his time of 13:23.73 in this race was outside the Olympic "A" standard (13:20.00), Blincoe already has the "A" standard in his pocket by virtue of his 13:18.27 run at Barcelona last year. From the perspective of the New Zealand Olympic Committee, Blincoe is expected to show fitness before being named to the Olympic team, and this 13:23.73 certainly accomplishes that task.
