2-TIME REIGNING NO. 1 Omar McLeod started his season in fine fashion, winning the Shanghai and Eugene DL titles in May. But ongoing abductor and ankle problems did him in: he didn’t race in June and had only a pair of poor races in July before calling it quits. He ended up as No. 7…
MEANWHILE, SERGEY SHUBENKOV was having the season of his life, producing his 3 fastest times ever and 7 of 10. He ended up with the year’s 7 fastest times, his list-leading 12.92 moving him to =No. 8 on the all-time list. After finishing 3rd and 2nd in McLeod’s wins, the Russian ace won 11 of his next 13 races—including 3 DL tilts—to be an easy No. 1 over Orlando Ortega, whom he beat 5–2…
ORTEGA DIDN’T WIN MUCH (only 6 of 14 races), but had a solid win-loss record, including 5–1 over No. 3 Ronald Levy and 7–1 over No. 4 Pascal Martinot-Lagarde… U.S. fortunes continued at a low ebb in an event it dominated like few others for so many years. Devon Allen’s position as the top American at No. 6 matches the lowest U.S. high ever in the event.
