I'm dividging this week's results into two posts--one for the "adults"--i.e the Pro's!---the other for the "children"--i.e the High Schoolers!!
Best of the adults came not so surprisingly from Genzebe Dibaba, who just likes to run fast!
The result was a 3:55.47!
And she needed most of that, as Sifan Hassan stuck to her shoulder over the penultimate 200, and wound up with a PR of 3:55,93!!
In All, 7 Women broke 4:00 on this Ranat 1500!
Dibaba got the Meet Record, while Hassan broke her own National Record of the Netherlands!
She remains 17th A-T World!
The parade behind them was impressive!
Gudef Tsegay ran 3:57.30 in 3rd!
Rababe Arafi's 3:58.84 broke her own National Record of Morocco!
Next was Acumawit Embaye, who PR'ed with a 3:59.02!
Next came Winnie Nanyondo's 3:59.56!
That's the National Record of Uganda!!
In 7th came Jenny Simpson, whose 3:59.83 makes her the first American to go sub-4 in 2019!!
Despite finishing 7th, she seemed pleased with her time!!
Top race from the Bislett Games was HomeBoy Karsten Warholm's 400H run of 47.33!
This smashed his own National Record of Norway, and adds to the growing pile of speedy Men's 400H'ers!
!It also gives him the Oslo Meet Record, and brings him up to 12th A-T World!!
The PV's were HOT!
Sam Kendricjks won a pair, first at Oslo, , then at Hengelo!
He cleared the same winning height both times--19-4.75!!
A surprising 2nd at Oslo was American Cole Walsh, whose PR of 19-0.75 makes him 23rd A-T US, tied with 2 others!
AND he beat Mondo Duplantis, who got the same height in 4th!!
Alysha Newman cleared 15-7.25 in Guelph!
But in Rabat, Sandi Morris topped the bar set at 15-9.75 for the W and the MR!!

And in Prague,, Nageotte's 15-9.25 won over Newman's 15-5.50!1
Maruya Lasitskene became the first Woman to top 2.00 in the HJ with her 6-7 win in Rabat!
Keturah Orji has performed well & steadily against big competition!

This gets Ibarguen the Age 35 Record!!

In Rabat, Fedric Dacres exploded out to 232-3 in the DT!!
The T&FN eTN reported that this throw was first ruled a foul!
But it apparently won the protest, so I';; consider it legal!1

Daniel Stahl's 229-5 was a strong second!!
The Oslo Women's DT saw Yaime Perez get the Meet Record with her 224-6!
