HEADING INTO THE WC Emmanuel Korir had a rather mediocre résumé, one that featured a 5th, 6th & 8th to go with a win in a meet of little consequence.

WC SILVER MEDALIST Djamel Sedjati had a breakthrough season. It was short at 5 meets, but he did enough to confirm his runner-up status in Eugene… Canada’s Marco Arop repeated as No. 3…
NO AMERICAN made the Top 10 for the first time since ’15.
