Hassan completed an epic double with an epic front-run that resulted in a 3:51.95 win.

We can't wait for the final which will include Shelby Houlihan, Laura Muir, Olympic champ Faith Kipyegon, world champ Sifan Hassan and former world champ Jenny Simpson believes she's as fit as she's ever been.

The favorites delivered in a big way in the three women's mid-d and distance finals on Sunday.

Shelby Houlihan looks to have Jenny Simpson number. Recap, analysis, video of race.

Molly Huddle, Emily Sisson, and Marielle Hall are the only women with the 10k Worlds standard and should all make the team. The 5k is much more interesting. 5th or even 6th place could still end up going to Doha if Shelby Houlihan and Jenny Simpson run as expected.

Plenty of drama here. Who grabs the third spot in the 1500 behind Houlihan & Jenny Simpson: Grace, Nikki Hiltz, Dani Jones, NCAA champ Sinclaire Johnson, or someone else? Can Allie O grab the fourth spot on the steeple team?

Monaco lived up to its hype but we go beyond the headlines and also look at the state of affairs with the Japanese men's 1500 and listen to Lance Armstrong's latest justification excuse of you better bring guns to a gun fight.

The 3k is ridiculously stacked (Dibaba vs Ayana vs Hassan vs Obiri). Heck, EVERY event is ridiculously stacked. The women's steeple features 6 of the 8 fastest women ever, the 1500 has Houlihan vs Muir vs Kipyegon, and the 800 has Semenya. Oh boy.

While no spots for Worlds are on the line his year, there are still some very interesting races at USA Indoors this year, particularly if the stars decide to go for a fast time. Can Donavan Brazier (600), Ajee Wilson (1k) and Craig Engels break American or even World records this weekend?

The women's race at 2019 USA XC looks INCREDIBLE. For the 1st time in US history, three sub-14:50 women will race each other as Shelby Houlihan, Shannon Rowbury, and Molly Huddle are all racing as are World Championship medalists Courtney Frerichs and Amy Cragg, plus the most recent NCAA XC champ to turn pro in Karissa Schweizer, a 2016 Olympian in Marielle Hall and MUCH MORE. The men's race includes 5 Olympians plus Ben True and the pro xc debut for Drew Hunter. *MB: USA World XC Trials Saturday; Top Entrants and Weather Forecast

Sifan Hassan had a fantastic year but Hellen Obiri's year was just a little bit better as she won both the DL final and the fastest race of the year (Rabat) over Hassan. Meanwhile, American Shelby Houlihan was the 8th fastest woman in the world this year.

In 2018, Shelby Houlihan enjoyed one of the greatest seasons ever by an American female on the track, but it wasn't quite enough to get her a world #1 ranking.
