No, it does't mean that.
The neutrino had to travel about 700km. You can then calculate the time it should take to get there.
So with 299 792 458m/s over 700,000m..that's about 0.002334948 seconds if I'm not mistaken.
A nanosecond is 0.000000001 seconds.
According to the artical, what happens is is that it arrived 60 nanoseconds earlier than expected.
So: 0.002334948 - 0.000000060 = 0.002334888 seconds over the 700km.
