2023 LRC Women’s World & American Rankings: Who’s #1?
We reveal out top 10 international women and top 5 US women for 2023
By LetsRun.com
As we have for each of the past nine years (outside of the 2020 COVID season), LetsRun.com has ranked the top 10 athletes in the world (and top 5 in the US) in every distance event, 800 through marathon. Some events had an obvious #1 (women’s 1500), others less so (women’s marathon). We did our best to rank every event based on the following criteria:
- An emphasis on performance in big races. How the athlete fared at Worlds carries a significant amount of weight but winning gold doesn’t guarantee that an athlete will earn a #1 ranking. For U.S. athletes, their performance at the U.S. championships also factors heavily in the rankings.
- Big-meet success with the Diamond League receiving emphasis.
- Season best times matter, and if an athlete has a bunch of fast performances, they’re more likely to be ranked highly.
- Indoor races are considered and can help an athlete’s ranking.
The women’s rankings are below; the men’s rankings can be found here.

Women’s 800: Mary Moraa dances her way to #1
This was close for #1 between Kenya’s Mary Moraa and Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson. Hodgkinson had the faster season’s best by almost a second and owned the 3-2 head-to-head advantage. But two of Hodgkinson’s three wins came indoors, when Hodgkinson was very fit and Moraa less so. Outdoors, Moraa led 2-1, including the all-important gold medal at the World Championships. Then consider that Moraa won three DLs to Hodgkinson’s one and Moraa has to be #1. Athing Mu only ran three 800m finals, finally suffering the first 800m defeat of her three-year professional career at Worlds, but she was so clearly better than everyone else that she had to be #3.

Women’s 1500/mile: Faith Kipyegon has the greatest season ever
Kipyegon celebrating at the finish line was a common sight in 2023
Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon, already the greatest female miler in history, somehow raised her level in 2023 and the result was the greatest season ever by a women’s 1500 runner. Kipyegon won all five of her track 1500/miles, including a 1500 world record of 3:49.11 in Florence (almost a full second faster than the previous record), a mile world record of 4:07.64 in Monaco (more than four seconds faster than the previous record) and a third straight global title (fifth overall) at the World Championships in Budapest. She was our World #1 for the fifth time (2016, 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023).
There was a large gap to #2 Diribe Welteji, but the 21-year-old Ethiopian broke out in a big way in 2023 and was one of just two women to defeat Kipyegon, beating her in Riga to win the inaugural road mile world title on October 1 (Kipyegon was sick for that race). She will be one to watch in 2024.
Nikki Hiltz, after finishing 13th and 10th at USAs in 2021 and 2022, enjoyed a career year in 2023, winning US titles indoors and out and setting an American mile record of 4:16.35 in Monaco to coast to LRC’s US #1 ranking. Meanwhile Addy Wiley announced herself as a force to be reckoned with, finishing 5th at USAs at the age of 19 and running 3:59.17 in Brussels on September 8 — the youngest American woman ever under 4:00.

1. Faith Kipyegon, Kenya
3:49.11 SB (#1); 1st Doha, 1st Florence, 1st Monaco, 1st Worlds, 1st Pre (DL final), 3rd World road mile champs; 1500/mile WRs

3. Freweyni Hailu, Ethiopia
3:55.68 SB (#8); 3rd Doha, 2nd Rabat, 1st Stockholm, 3rd Monaco, 1st Xiamen, 4th Pre (DL final)
Hailu didn’t make the team for Ethiopia in the 1500 (she ran the 5000) but she’s super good. Ethiopia really should run a trials race for the 1500. Hailu raced Mageean twice in 2023 and crushed her both times, beating Mageean by 2.15 seconds in Stockholm and 7.41 seconds in Eugene.

Women’s 3000/5000: Kipyegon moves up and rules the world
This was one of the deepest events in the sport in 2023. The world record entering the year was Letesenbet Gidey‘s 14:06.62; three women ran faster than that in 2023 — and none of them were named Gidey. Faith Kipyegon kicked off the WR party in Paris, outdueling Gidey to run 14:05.20 and break the world record in her first 5k in eight years. That record would last barely three months, however, as Gudaf Tsegay closed out the track season by running 14:00.21 at the Pre Classic to crush Kipyegon’s mark and bring the world to the doorstep of sub-14:00. Kenya’s Beatrice Chebet ran 14:05.92 in that race for second — the #3 time in history — and put together a season that would usually have been enough for World #1 honors. Chebet won World XC, won three Diamond Leagues, ran 14:05, won the World road champs, and set a world road record of 14:13 in Barcelona on New Year’s Eve. But up against two all-time greats in Kipyegon and Tsegay, Chebet’s incredible year only put her third in our rankings.
As for who is number #1 in the US, we had a dilemma. Elise Cranny crushed Alicia Monson the two times they raced and it was the two biggest races of the year for an American — USAs (1st) and Worlds (9th). But while Monson was not nearly as good as Cranny in those races (2nd USAs, 14th Worlds), her multiple American records (3k/5k) and success on the DL circuit gave her the nod as our US #1 for the second year in a row. Would you rather be 9th at Worlds and run no faster than 14:52 on the year or be 14th and run 14:19?

Women’s 10,000: Tsegay is tops
Gudaf Tsegay won the Rabat Diamond League 1500 on May 28 and the 10,000 world title on August 19. That sort of sentence would have sounded crazy five years ago, but the planet’s best female distance runners are so good and so versatile these days that they can seamlessly switch events within season and still dominate. The 1500 world record holder (Faith Kipyegon) was the 5,000 world champion this year. The 5,000 world record holder (Tsegay) was the 10,000 world champion. Sifan Hassan won a medal in the 1500 and won the Chicago Marathon six weeks later. Have the lines between events permanently blurred, or do we just happened to be blessed by a generation of ridiculous talents?
It will take a few more years to get a definitive answer, but we can’t wait to watch what happens in the meantime. Could Hassan, Tsegay, and Kipyegon all go for triple gold in Paris this year?

Women’s 3000 steeplechase: Yavi’s breakthrough tops Chepkoech comeback
The bar is being raised in the women’s steeplechase. Not literally — the barriers are still 30 inches tall — but more women are running faster than ever before. Five women ran 9:00 or faster in the steeple in 2023, and that number could be even greater in 2024 now that Norah Jeruto‘s provisional suspension for an Athlete Biological Passport violation was overturned (though the AIU is appealing that decision).
In Jeruto’s absence, 24-year-old Winfred Yavi stepped up and delivered two sensational performances in the year’s biggest races: an 8:54.29 in the World final in Budapest and an 8:50.66 — the second-fastest time ever — to win the DL final in Eugene. She had to be that good because world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech had a resurgent season at age 32, running 8:58 in Budapest and 8:51 in Eugene to establish herself as the clear world #2.
Unfortunately, doping drama is threatening to overshadow this event. 2016 Olympic champ/former world record holder Ruth Jebet has already been popped for EPO. In November, Ethiopia’s Zerfe Wondemagegn, who was 4th at the 2023 Worlds, was provisionally suspended for EPO as well. And the Jeruto case remains unresolved.
In the US, the event is in an interesting spot. For the first time since 2013, someone other than Emma Coburn won the US title. And the title didn’t go to Olympic silver medallist, Courtney Frerichs. Frerichs, who had made every US team since 2016, did not run the US final. Will those two — inarguably the two greatest women’s steeplers in American history — rebound in 2024, or will the likes of Krissy Gear (who won USAs and ran 9:12 this year after only running 10:00 last year), Courtney Wayment, and Olivia Markezich keep them off the Olympic team?

Women’s marathon: What a year
There were three women who could lay a legitimate claim to the top spot in our rankings. Sifan Hassan defeated the best field of the year in London, then ran the #2 time in history in Chicago (2:13:44), beating one of the world’s best marathoners in Ruth Chepngetich by almost two minutes. Hellen Obiri became the first woman since 1989 to win Boston and New York in the same year. And Tigist Assefa ran 2:11:53 in Berlin — nearly two minutes faster than any other woman in history. We ultimately gave credit to Hassan and Obiri for running two races this year instead of one (Assefa was meant to run London in April but withdrew due to injury).
Among the Americans, Betsy Saina had a big year with a 2:21:40 pb in Tokyo in March and a 2:26:47 win in Sydney in September. She is in a strong position heading into February’s Olympic Trials, but will face stiff competition with Emily Sisson, Emma Bates, Sara Hall, Keira D’Amato, and a resurgent Molly Seidel all in the mix.
