2018 Women’s Steeplechase World Rankings

SLOWLY BUT SURELY the steeplechase’s 9:00 barrier is becoming almost commonplace. Well, at least for a select few. When the year began there had been 12 sub-9:00s all-time; now there are 17, with 4 of the new ones coming from Beatrice Chepkoech, who duplicated her No. 1 position of last year. The WR-setting Kenyan became the first ever to crack the barrier 3 times in one year—and then for good measure she added a fourth one…

THE ONE RACE Chepkoech lost, an anomalous 5th in Rome, was won by Hyvin Jepkemoi, who also won in Oslo and ended up No. 2. That’s also Jepkemoi’s position in all-time scoring as she makes the Top 10 (first 9, to be precise) for the seventh straight year… The No. 3 position goes to the year’s other sub-9:00 runner, Norah Tanui…

EMMA COBURN IN 4 scores for the fifth year in a row (2-7-3-3-4) and rates as the best American for the eight straight year… Courtney Frerichs took the American Record away from Coburn, but lost to her 3–1 overall.
