Engels is not in tip-top shape. Kerr mistimed his kick a bit and was definitely feeling it the last 200. Should’ve been more of a race but Kerr is in 3:33 shape if he managed energy a bit better whereas Engels is about what he ran.

I’ll take Engels, mostly because he’s being unfairly dismissed. Considering the circumstances of his recent 800 & 3k events I see no reason to assume he’s not in 1:45/3:35/7:45 shape.
The poster taking Kerr because he’s a “world class athlete,” implying that Engels is not, is being ridiculous. They are both WC finalists, and going into the WC final Engels looked a bit better on paper. He’d beaten Kerr over 800 in July and placed top-5 at Pre, Birmingham & Brussels—plus won his national championships, which Kerr did not. Don’t get me wrong, Kerr is fantastic, but I’m taking a stand against the disrespect for Engels.
1. Engels 3:35.5
2. Kerr 3:35.8
3. Prakel 3:37.0
Engels takes the lead with 50m left.
In fairness the British 1500 metres depth is arguably stronger than the US,so winning a national title isn’t a walk in the park.
Even just the Scottish contingent are strong in the 1500.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
