2022 Men’s 10,000 World Rankings

There was no doubt about how ecstatic Joshua Cheptegei was with his World Championships win. (KEVIN MORRIS)

MAKING IT 3 No. 1s in the last 4 Rankings, Joshua Cheptegei parlayed his WC gold into the perfect vehicle to move himself up a spot from last year…

HIS FELLOW EUGENE podium celebrants, Stanley Waithaka and Jacob Kiplimo take the next two spots here too…Last year’s leader, Selemon Barega, won the momentous Ethiopian Trials race in Hengelo and thus reverses places with Grant Fisher for 4 and 5…

FISHER’S AMERICAN RECORD 26:33.84 stood up as the yearly world leader and moved him to No. 7 on the all-time world list. He also became the first American to top the yearly list since Galen Rupp in ’14.
