Wejo wraps up his thoughts from Eugene about Pre.

Athletics Illustrated:
LRC RRW: Season Opener Has Bernard Lagat Right on Track
Lagat was really pleased with his 13:14 season opener (and Masters WR) which got him 4th. He was motivated by the disappointing race he had here last year where he says he was "embarrassed".
Super Sport:
He ran 9.99 to get 3rd at Pre.
LRC Pre Recap: Genzebe Dibaba (14:19.76) Misses WR but Gets Dominant Win, Ezekiel Kemboi Is Back, Evan Jager Impresses, Gatlin 19.68, Felix over SRR
Kemboi (8:01.71) outkicked Jairus Birech (8:01.83) as Jager was 4th in 8:05.28, his fastest-ever opener. Justin Gatlin kept winning with a world-leading 19.68 in the 200 while Mutaz Essa Barshim cleared 2.41 but chose not to go any higher even though he had no misses in the competition.
LRC A Massive Day For Americans At 1,500/Mile At Pre - Jenny Simpson Wins, Centro Is 2nd And High Schooler Alexa Efraimson Runs 4:03.39
Simpson (4:00.98) won her third straight DL race while Centro missed out on the win by .10 as Ayanleh Souleiman repeated in the Bowerman Mile (3:51.10). Efraimson broke Mary Cain's HS/U.S. Junior record by running 4:03.39.
LRC Men's 5,000m The World And Galen Rupp Meet 17-Year-Old Yomif Kejelcha, And Former Sprinter Carlos Villareal Kicks Like Mad In HS Mile
Kejelcha arrived, Galen Rupp had a nice opener, and Bernard Lagat set another record.
Oregonlive:
The last lap came down to a three way battle for the win, but Farah blew away Paul Tanui and World XC champ Geoffrey Kamworor in the final stretch.
Oregonlive:
Kejelcha ran 13:10.54 to win the tactical race while Galen Rupp was 3rd (13:12) after leading with a lap to go.
USATF:
Bartoletta won the LJ and Kovacs the SP.
Overall, I am really happy with it, and I’m excited to see what the rest of the season has in store."
