HO-HUM: JUST ANOTHER year at the office for Faith Kipyegon, who racked up her record-tying fifth No. 1 in a row (and record seventh overall). And she highlighted this one as she had in the preceding two years: with a World Record. She now has 3 sub-3:50s overall; nobody else has any. Her 3-race season was thin, but when you add in the WC gold, it was plenty thick enough…
WITH 4 DL WINS — including the Final — Nelly Chepchirchir gets the edge for the runner-up spot over Gudaf Tsegay, who won a pair and had no losses to anyone but Kipyegon…
ALTHOUGH SHE NEVER WON away from home, the prolific Jessica Hull was a common presence on podia. The WC bronze medalist added a pair of DL runners-up (including Zürich) and a 3rd…
HULL LOST 0–4 to Ethiopia’s Diribe Welteji, whose truncated season could in theory make her No. 3. Barred from Tokyo because of a doping failure, she’s unranked for now.
