MONTREAL — Mo Ahmed won the men’s 5,000-metre race and Gabriela DeBues-Stafford finished first in the women’s 5K competition Thursday night at the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic track and field trials.

Ahmed, a four-time Olympian from St. Catharines, Ont., finished in 13 minutes 10.99 seconds at Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard.

It was the fastest 5K time by a Canadian athlete on home soil, Athletics Canada said. Ahmed set the national record of 12:47.20 in Portland, Ore., in July 2020.
