Hansons-Brooks (powered by Saturn) athlete Luke Humphrey ran a personal best 29 minutes, 44 seconds and placed 12th overall at the Healthy Kidney 10 km in Central Park on Saturday morning.
Twenty-three year old Kenyan phenom Patrick Makau won the race in 28:19. Makau initiated his course record-breaking attempt with a torrid 4:22 first mile, followed by a 5k split of 13:54--well under pace for the course record of 28:08 set by Dathan Ritzenehein last year. Over the second half of the course, the fatiguing Makau slowed, allowing runner-up Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil to close the gap to 12 seconds, before finishing in 28:31. Third place was Kenyan Richard Kiplagat, running 29:08.
Humphrey finished just steps behind top Americans Jason Hartmann (Eugene, Oreg.) who ran 29:38 and Josh Moen (Readlyn, Iowa) who finished in 29:41. Behind Humphrey in 13th place was Andrew Carlson (Minnepolis, Minn.)—the 2008 U.S. 15 km champion and 2008 U.S. 8 km runner-up.
