Sean McGorty almost lost a shoe but didn't panic and advanced while Chris Nilsen pulled off another upset in the pole vault and Will Claye was clutch in the triple jump.

The very strange 2020 track season is almost over as the 2020 DL season concludes Friday in Doha with some interesting distance races. For example, Doha will feature the three best men's steeplers from 2019, but they are all in the 1500. 1500 stars Faith Kipegon and Timothy Cheruiyot will both run the 800. The women's 3,000 is totally loaded with five 2019 World medalists, led by Hellen Obiri.

Duplantis now owns the world records indoors and outdoors, as after failing 14 times at the WR height this summer, he got the job done on #15. And he is still only 20 years old.

The format is far from traditional, but the most star-studded meet of the 2020 outdoor season so far -- which will be held in Oslo and remote sites around the world on Thursday -- will feature Duplantis, Lavillenie, Warholm, Cheruiyot, Manangoi, the Ingebrigtsens, and more.

It was mom's night in Doha as SAFP showed she's the GOAT and Allyson Felix added another gold to her haul. Christian Taylor turned back Will Claye again and Anzhelika Sidorova won a great pole vault over Sandi Morris.

Sam Kendricks is the American record holder and #2 vaulter EVER outdoors. And believe it or not Fred Kerley is your USATF 400m champ.

LSU's Duplantis, the #2 outdoor jumper of all time, was the 2019 world leader at 6.00m, but South Dakota's Nilsen got PRs at 5.90 and 5.95 to score the massive upset -- and break his own meet record.

Some of the events at the 2017 Pre Classic are without a doubt better than the 2017 Rio Olympic finals. We're so excited we even preview the men's pole vault and women's 200 but we also will see a loaded women's 1500 with Faith Kipyegon, Laura Muir and Jenny Simpson and possibly the youngest sub-4 mile in history.

The Olympic silver medallist ended a magical season in style - with a new American outdoor best.

Lavillenie is the highest jumper in history but there are a lot of young guns that would love to knock him off including the US's Sam Kendricks (23), Canada's Shawn Barber (22) and Brazil's best men's medal hope Thiago Braz (22).

It only took Lavillenie two jumps to wrap up pole vault gold, but that didn't stop him from entertaining the Portland crowd with a new meet record and three thrilling attempts at the the world record. On the women's side, it was an all-American battle for gold as Suhr and Sandi Morris went 1-2.

Defar, who surprisingly revealed she plans to run the 10,000 at the Olympics, will run the 3k on Sun., her first track race since Aug. '13. We caught up with Defar, Abbey D'Agostino and Brenda Martinez at the presser, plus non-distance stars Trayvon Bromell & Jenn Suhr. Also entered: Ethiopians Dejen Gebremeskel (3,000) and Dawit Seyaum (1,500) plus Nick Willis (mile), Duane Solomon (1k) Andrew Wheating (1k) and Boris Berian (800). *MB: Don't forget the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix is Sunday - 4-6 pm ET on NBC Sports - Official Discussion Thread. *MB: Bad news Molly Huddle and Emily Infeld Fans - Meseret Defar says she's targeting 10k at 2016 Olympics

New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney, who turned 19 earlier this month, broke the world junior pole vault record today with a 4.64m clearance today.
