What's your favorite distance runner at every event?
I wouldn't consider a lot of the 800m runners mentioned on this thread to be distance runners. Someone like Webb could pass for a distance runner. Even though he is best known for his mid-distance running, he did also run a fast 10K. But guys like Brazier are really just pure mid-distance runners who have never done anything notable as distance runners.
