1HR Men Field:
AMLOSOM, Nguse , BELET, Joshua, KAMAU, Michael, KANDIE, Kibiwott, KIBET, Levy, PÉREZ, Juan Antonio, ROBINSON, Brett, SAWE, Sabastian Kimaru

Sawe: PBs of 26:54 and 58:02
Kandie: 26:50 and 57:32

Levy Kibet I assume is pacing, as he's a 5,000m athlete (13:01 PB) who is quite young. Joshua Belet has run sub-60 twice this year (59:23 PB), so maybe he will be in the mix. Rest I assume are pacing or will let the top 2 go.

The 5k field is absolutely loaded. Fisher, Grijalva, Kejelcha, Kincaid, Kipkorir, Klecker, Krop, and Stewy!! Plus a few more sub-13:10 guys. If it's paced fast there's like 5 guys who could run 12:4x and 3-4 more that could be sub-13.

The exciting thing about the 5,000 to me is the number of guys who could destroy their PBs. All of the following guys seem sub 12:55 capable if they've trained well since their big races of the season:

Lobalu (7:27 3K, 13:3x PB), Oscar Chelimo (13:06 PB, Worlds 5k Bronze), Mburu (13:05 PB, Worlds 10k Silver), Grijalva (13:10, Worlds 5k 4th Place), McSweyn (13:05 PB, 3:29/7:27 PBs), Ndikumwenayo (7:25.9 3K/12:59PB), Klecker 13:04 ~ maybe more aiming for sub-13

You also have plenty of chalk guys with fast PBs in Kimeli + Krop (12:46 SB), Fisher (12:53i/26:33), and Kejelcha (12:46 PB)

I assume 18yo Levy will finish top 3 in his first longer race.

Brett Robinson won't finish on the same lap but I imagine an AR is his goal in his building toward the London Marathon

De Castella still holds the AR from 40 years ago, 20516m

pace is dropping to 5.45 last 2k to 18k, understandably. Faster than any man on a track
