Syracuse alumnus Justyn Knight posted a world-leading two-mile time on Saturday, running a 8:13.92 to win the New Balance Grand Prix held in Staten Island.
The three-time NCAA champion beat out American Joe Klecker and Australian Morgan McDonald to secure the victory. The Toronto native missed out on the Canadian two-mile record by under a second. The IAAF no longer keeps official records for two-mile runs, but the current world best is 7:58.61.
