IT WAS ANOTHER BRILLIANT YEAR for Faith Kipyegon, who won Olympic gold, went undefeated, lowered her own World Record and claimed a record sixth No. 1…
THE BATTLE FOR No. 2 was a tight one, with Jessica Hull ending up with a narrow edge over Diribe Welteji. The Aussie had a 2-place edge in Paris, but the Ethiopian (2 wins to none) was slightly better on the DL Circuit. They could have easily been reversed…
THE BATTLE FOR BRITISH SUPERIORITY was a close one between Georgia Bell and Laura Muir, the former getting the edge based on a 2-place margin in the Olympics…
NIKKI HILTZ filled things out, earning their first-ever spot. Honorable mention to Elle St. Pierre.
