Steve Scott became the first two-time champion of the Fiesta Bowl Mile, beating Doug Padilla by one-tenth of a second in the fifth-annual race through the streets of downtown Phoenix.

Scott, 33, finished in a time of 4:05.6--well off his American record in the mile of 3:47.69.

Padilla, 33, had broken away from the pack in the elite 10-man field with 450 yards to go and appeared on his way to being the fifth different winner of the event.

But Scott, a two-time Olympian, outkicked Padilla in the final 50 yards.

Scott earned $5,000 for the victory. Padilla received $3,000 and Ireland’s Ray Flynn earned $1,000 for third place at 4:06.1.

Ireland’s Marcus O’Sullivan, the 1987 winner, finished fourth at 4:06.5.

Former Arizona State sprinter Jeff Smith was fifth (4:07.1) followed by Canada’s Doug Consiglio (4:09.4), former Arizona State track standout Treg Scott (4:09.8), defending champion Jeff Atkinson (4:11.4), Canada’s Graeme Fell (4:12.5) and Charles Marsala (4:16.5) of Bloomington, Ind.

Atkinson, a 1988 Olympian from Manhattan Beach, won last year’s race in 4:05.20.
