Pam Paul James has ran an indoor national record of 14:16.01 in his 5000 meters debut for Tulane University at the 2024 Music City Challenge in Nashville.
He shattered his total Personal Best (PB) by over 13 seconds and is now 0.51 seconds away from the outdoor record set in 1993 by Timon Gunem. This is only his second race in the NCAA, after he raced 3000 meters two weeks ago.
