The pace was fast but there was no match for Anthony Timoteus who was victorious in a fast time of 8:10. Teammates Andre Afrika (8:20) and Star Shayamano (8:23) were 3rd and 4th respectively. 

"Personally, being able to run again in this time is a blessing,” said Timoteus. “I think every opportunity that we get to run is a must run situation. There is no time to relax and save yourself for the next round or run.”
