I couldn't find a results page but went all over the internet and found the winners.
The highlihgt was Emmanuel Wanyoni's 3:54.5 WR in the road mile with Hobbs Kessler roughly two seconds back.The other male winners were Arop (1:45), Kejelcha (13:00), and Kimeli (27:04). The women's winners were Jepchirchir (4:32), Eisa (14:38) and Ngetich (30:03).
Arop was at the end waiting and watching. I feel like that was worth a 3:53-low if he had just kept his head down and hadn't celebrated in the last 200.

Good season opener from Pattison. He left it very late and still managed 3rd. Looked like he had a lot left in the tank at the end.
Generous tbh. Very tentative run. He raced it like it was a mile. Probably 53-plus in his first 400 and non-competitive with Hoppel, who was the only real prominent guy outside of Arop. Has some work to do clearly.

He's literally just come back from a heavy training camp in South Africa, and has had to do a lot of promotional work for Adidas the last week. This was his first run of the season, unlike the other two, and Hopel has had a big indoor season too. He was closing on both of them. He was ludicrously far behind at 550m. Not sure why he started so tentatively, but I'm guessing it's because he realizes it's pretty meaningless other than as a rustbuster and to give him some indication of how his training has gone.
He literally wasn't breathing when they lined up for the photo 10 seconds after the race, unlike Hoppel, or Arop who was pouring with sweat and looked almost ready to collapse.

Ran a road 5K, but anyway you didn’t really argue with my take on it. It was not good, but it’s fine. Didn’t seem like he was ready to roll, but at least he did finish strong.

Same thing for Kessler and Hoppel, this was a Contract event comittment only. Middle of pretty big training block, no tapering for this. There was a bonus for winning these and any WR, so I am not implying theye were not trying at all. I think Hobbs broke his old Road WR? and got beat by 1.6.

You can bet they’re not, lol. Anyone who believes his claimed age is legit is brainwashed beyond repair, never mind the constant denial of Kenyan drug use.
