THE TOP END of the Rankings laid itself out perfectly logically, Winfred Yavi, Beatrice Chepkoech & Faith Cherotich went 1-2-3 in both of the year’s biggest races, Budapest and Eugene…
YAVI’S LIST-LEADING 8:50.66 at the DL Final gave Chepkoech’s WR of 8:44.32 from ’18 its closest scare yet. Yavi also had an 8:54.29 to win the WC, making her the only steepler ever with a pair of sub-8:55s in the same season…
THE U.S. WAS SHUT OUT for the second year in a row, the first time that has happened since 2006–07… Norah Jeruto of Kazakhstan, No. 1 the last two seasons, was put on a doping suspension early in the year and ran no steeples.
