By Peter Gambaccini
Russell Brown won the mile at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston on February 5 in 3:54.81. A week later, he paced Bernard Lagat for the first mile and a quarter of Lagat's American indoor record 8:10.07 two-mile at the Armory in New York City. On Saturday, Brown will be in a very formidable 1500-meter field in Birmingham, England. In 2010, Brown was fifth in the 1500 at the USA Indoor Championships and sixth at the outdoors USAs. In 2008, he was second in the USA Indoor 1500. Brown, now 25, was a 2007 Pac-10 champion for Stanford in the 1500 and was third at that year's NCAA Championships. Back in 2003, he was third at the USA Junior Championships in the 800 (he ran 1:50.16 for that distance in high school). Brown ran his 1500-meter best of 3:36.89 in 2010.
