Kenyan Beatrice Chebet set a world record in the 5,000 meters, winning the event in 13 minutes, 58.06 seconds Saturday at the Prefontaine Classic.
Chebet became the first woman to run under 14 minutes in the event, surpassing the previous record of 14:00.21 set by Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay. Tsegay set the record at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic.
Seemingly aware that the record was within reach, Chebet pushed the final 400 meters toward the finish.
Agnes Jebet Ngetich second at Eugene's Hayward Field in 14:01.29 while Tsegay was third in 14:04.41.
Chebet, 25, was the gold medalist in the 5,000 and 10,000 at the Paris Olympics, becoming just the third woman to win both.
