<p>Bernard Lagat ran the fastest indoor two-mile race by an American and Lopez Lomong became the second fastest US miler as athletes set a host of quick times at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday.<br /> <br /></p>.<p>The 38-year-old Kenyan-born Lagat clocked eight minutes, 9.49 seconds to reclaim the US best from London Olympic 10,000 metres silver medallist Galen Rupp, who ran 8:09.72 last year. <br /><br />"I was more concerned about getting the time than in winning," the four-time Olympian told reporters after claiming his 10th Millrose title, eight of them in the mile. <br /><br />Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan who is now a US citizen, claimed the mile in 3:51.21. Only Lagat, at 3:49.89, has run faster among Americans indoors. <br /><br />The 28-year-old said he hoped the fast race would help him build speed for the 5,000 metres during the outdoor season. "It will help me a lot in closing in the world championships," he said. <br /><br />Fast-finishing Matthew Centrowitz, last year's winner, took second in 3:51.34. The meeting also produced the year's fastest men's 60 metres and women's mile along with contrasting results for Olympic champions Jenn Suhr and Brittney Reese. <br /><br />Canadian Sheila Reid won the women's mile in a national record 4:27.02 as she defeated 16-year-old American Mary Cain, who ran 4:28.25. Evergreen Darvin Patton shocked the 60 metres field, winning by a whopping 0.14 seconds in a 2013 best of 6.50 seconds despite being 35 years old.</p>
