Reebok Boston Indoor Games

Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia shattered the world record in the women's 5,000 meters with a time of 14:27.42. Shalane Flanagan set a new American record in the women's 3,000m while finishing second in 8:33.25 to Ethiopia's Meseret Defar who won with a time of 8:30.31 Saturday at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games. Two Australian national marks and a New Zealand AR also fell on the first stop of USA Track & Field's Indoor Visa Championship Series.
