The men’s 5,000 meters turned into a wild, every-man-for-himself finish Friday night in the USA Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field.
And the best finisher was Matt Tegenkamp.
Barely.
Tegenkamp closed with a 53.47-second last lap to win in 13 minutes, 20.57 seconds, barely outkicking Chris Solinsky, second in 13:20.82.
Evan Jager (13:22.18) was third. All three run for Oregon Track Club Elite and are based at the Nike campus in suburban Portland.
