Fisher`s performance was particularly impressive as it marked his second World Record in just over a week, following his 3,000m Indoor World Record of 7:22.91 achieved at the Millrose Games on February 8. During the race, Fisher strategically positioned himself behind early pacesetters and maintained a strong pace. He pulled away from Jimmy Gressier around the halfway mark, ultimately finishing the last lap in a blistering 29.28 seconds.
Gressier finished in second place, setting a new French National Record with a time of 12:54.92, while Yaseen Abdalla from Arkansas secured third as the top collegian with a time of 139.99. The atmosphere at the BU Valentine Invitational was electric, with fans cheering throughout Fisher`s record-breaking run, underscoring his dominance in indoor track and field events.
