AN UNBEATEN SEASON earned Soufiane El Bakkali his third consecutive No. 1. In addition to WC gold, the tall Moroccan also won his 4 forays into the DL realm. He produced the year leader with a near-PR 7:58.28, although that was his only sub-8:00 and one of only two sub-8:05s…
DOMINANT ON THE WATCH was No. 2-rated Lamecha Girma, with a trio of sub-8:00s. He’s the first to do that since Saïf Shaheen back in ’05. In fact, no one else other than those two has ever done it…
USATF CHAMP Hillary Bor earns the No. 1 American spot for the third time in a row.
