Lars Erik Malde løp meget offensivt og dro nesten hele løpet. Med et par runder igjen ble han passert, men etter en solid spurt ned siste langside vant han heatet på overbevisende måte. Totalt ble Portland-studenten nummer 18 av 57 løpere. Storløperen Galen Rupp vant på 7.51,48.
I 2009 var den beste norske innendørstida på 3000 m 8.29,79. Den norske rekorden har Jim Svenøy med 7.47,59 satt i 1998.
