In the men’s race, Canada’s Simon Bairu won with a time of 1:05:38. Reigning U.S. cross country champion Brent Vaughn finished second with a time of 1:05:41, with teammate Tim Nelson coming across in third in 1:07:44.

The lead men approached the first mile in 4:46, separating themselves from the rest of the pack with California’s Christian Hesch, a sub-4:00 miler. A late arrival and lack of warmup forced Hesch to drop out at 5K, and the Oregon Track Club trio were unchallenged the rest of the way. Nelson began to fall off the pace during the eighth mile, leaving just Vaughn and Bairu. The duo ran together until the final mile when Bairu surged to take home the 3-second win.

“I may have under estimated the course, but today was a pace that I’ll probably want to run at Houston. Leading from the gun and to be able to do that on my own in this condition gives me confidence for Houston,” said Bairu, a collegiate All-American at Wisconsin who will try for the Canadian Olympic qualifier at the Houston Marathon, which takes place the day after the U.S. Trials. “The record high for Houston in mid-January is 80 degrees; we consciously came here to get experience in hot, humid conditions and it was great preparation. This was my first time in Miami and I’m a Heat fan. I loved being out here and definitely want to come back when I’m not training.”
