The race was a dramatic display of grit and determination, with the two athletes neck-and-neck throughout. Fisher, who had already established himself as one of the top distance runners in the world, surged ahead of Hocker in the final turn, crossing the line in an astonishing 7 minutes, 22.91 seconds.

Hocker, who pushed Fisher to the limit throughout the race, finished just behind in 7:23.14. His time also broke Girma's previous record, adding to the sense of achievement for both American athletes in what turned out to be a historic race. Fisher’s breakthrough moment in New York is set to be remembered as one of the most exciting and competitive events in recent track and field history.
