Bell, Hull and Welteji are all hungry. Hull ran 3:50 last year and Bell could be in shape to do the same. If Kipyegon fall off WR pace and runs 3:50+, we might finally see a different winner.
My prediction is this is a very close race and Kipyegon wins by couple meters

First about Nico, now about Yared?
What is wrong with you?
It's Barrett Dahl, 430 miler. They won't permanently ban him so this is what we get. A mentally disabled man posting insane $hit.
I think Faith wins by a landslide again and runs sub 3:49.

I think Kipyegon wins in 3.52
On the topic of Hull, I feel like for me personally, I feel like something in the 3.53's (there or thereabouts) coming off the breakthrough season in 24 isn't unreasonable. We aren't on the GST double BS, she ran a good 800m in Portland, no excuses in this one. She is the most interesting athlete for me in this one.
Hailu should be mentioned also. The 1500 isn't considered her best distance but she won it at Grand Slam Track and finished second to Kipyegon late last season at Diamond League Rome, defeating Hull and Chepchirchir in that race.
Hailu has had trouble at Eugene previously while sitting too far back in the pack. But with Welteji in the race there is little chance of that. The two have an unspoken rivalry and tend to end up in sprint finishes alongside each other.
Based on past strategies Hull will draft off Bell for the win.
