Hoffa, Glenn, Payne Win in Ostrava
June 27, 2007
From USATF press release.

Reese Hoffa, Brianna Glenn and David Payne won their respective events Wednesday at the Golden Spike 2007 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Coming off his impressive win last week at the AT&T USA Outdoor Championships in Indianapolis, Hoffa won the men's shot put with a meet record toss of 21.77 meters/71 feet 5.25 inches, which is the fourth best in the world this outdoor season. Fellow Americans Christian Cantwell (21.68m/71-1.50) and Dan Taylor (20.52m/67-4) finished second and third respectively.

In other events, 2001 Pac-10 Conference champion Brianna Glenn won the women's 100 meters in 11.38 seconds, and after placing fourth Sunday at the AT&T USA Outdoor Championships, David Payne won the men's 110m hurdles in 13.25 seconds.

The event was highlighted by the performance of Haile Gebrselassie, who set a new world record in the One Hour Run. The legendary Ethiopian star covered 21,285 meters over the course of 60 minutes to break the previous best of 21,101 meters by Mexican Arturo Barrios on March 30, 1991.

During his run, Gebrselassie also broke the world record for 20,000 meters in covering 50 laps in 56:25.98, well within the previous 56:55.6 also set by Barrios. A two-time Olympic 10,000m champion, Gebrselassie has now posted 24 world records during his remarkable career.
