THE UGANDAN STAR added another 10 points to his all-time tally, which propelled him past an impressive set of all-time greats: Mo Farah, Paul Tergat, Zersenay Tadese & Pyotr Bolotnikov. He’s now at No. 5, only 3 points behind Ron Clarke…
PLACES 2 & 3 ARE FILLED with Cheptegei’s Budapest podium mates, Daniel Simiyu and Selemon Barega… Kenya claimed 5 of the 10 spots, its biggest tally since a 7-spot in ’14.
