Craig Mottram won the 10k at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitation meet, in California, running a time of 27:34.48, which is Craig's pb by 16 seconds. His previous pb was set in 2003.
He moved from seventh to second on the Australian all-time list, and is only just short of Sean Creighton's Australian national record of 27:31.92.
Meanwhile, Mottram's long time training partner, Benita Johnson, won the 10k Great Edinburgh Run in 32:20, well clear of Kenya's Rose Cheriuyot.
Bring on the Olympics! Where Mottram will compete in his best event, the 5k.
