Josh Kerr was golden for the second straight World Championships as American Yared Nuguse got his first global medal

Between Josh Kerr, Selemon Barega, & Yared Nuguse, three of distance running's biggest stars are racing in Glasgow but only one can win. *MB: Race of the year (so far): Men's 3000 at World Indoors - Who you got? Kerr, Nuguse or Barega?

The world record holder won his third straight 10,000m title at Worlds as he held off a challenge from Olympic champ Selemon Barega on the final lap.

The main obstacles standing between Cheptegei and a 3-peat are Olympic champ Selemon Barega and 12:40 5k man Berihu Aregawi. Can Woody Kincaid medal?

Joshua Cheptegei is back on top as the king of the 10,000m avenging his Olympic loss by outkicking 7 other guys on the final lap to get World title #2 as Grant Fisher earned the best finish ever by an American man in a Worlds 10,000.

The medal hopes for Sinclaire Johnson and Grant Fisher just went WAY down. Studs Selemon Barega, Berihu Aregawi, Letesenbet Gidey, and Ejgayehu Taye will all double in the 5k/10k and Gudaf Tsegay has moved to the 1500.

Barega's claim to being the best distance running on the planet grows stronger as the BTC's Marc Scott snags a bronze. Plus the men's 4 x 400 was eliminated despite a heroic effort from Isaiah Harris.

All 5 American distance runners made their respective finals, while Cuba’s Lazaro Martinez won the first gold of the championships, leaping 17.64m in the men’s triple jump.

Two of the biggest young stars in men's track - Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Selemon Barega - are competing at World Indoors this year. We can't wait.  Plus is American Bryce Hoppel the gold medal favorite in the 800?

Thompson-Herah was just .05 off FloJo's "world record." Jamaica swept the top-3 with SAFP (10.73) and Shericka Jackson (10.76) while Richardson was dead last in 11.14. Also a who's who of men's distance running over 2-miles and solid sprint results from Noah Lyles (200m) and Andre De Grasse (100m).

With limited competition opportunities in 2020, many athletes are desperate to get back on the track in 2021 and we saw a ton of top performances last weekend, from a triple jump WR to an NCAA pole vault record, some crazy-fast high school races, the return of Conner Mantz and...Tom Brady (?!?) running 7:58 for Michigan.

No world records fell today in Ostrava but there was plenty of great action as a ton of BIG names picking up wins as the likes of Laura Muir, Faith Kipyegon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Ryan Crouser, Karsten Warholm, Christian Taylor and Sifan Hassan all vanquished the competition.

Centro hasn't raced all year but will run his first race in a Bowerman TC singlet on Sunday against former teammates Yomif Kejelcha, Clayton Murphy, and Craig Engels. Barega faces Paul Chelimo and World XC champ Joshua Cheptegei in the 2-mile.

Track and fields fans, set your alarm clocks or DVR as the Shanghai DL on Saturday is AMAZING and everything a track meet should be.

What a race. If you call yourself a distance fan, you need to be up at 9 am ET on Saturday morning to watch this one - the greatest race on turf. Will Geoffrey Kamworor join John Ngugi, Paul Tergat, and Kenenisa Bekele as a world xc legend?

Canadian 5k record crushed, Ethiopian road records fall + 1 Japanese high school coach produces 3 sub-2:10 marathoners.

We know Selemon Barega ran 12:43 but in the end decided you can't really be World #1 if you failed to medal at World U20s and the African champs.

Plus some free coaching advice

What a spectacular race. We hadn't seen a sub-13 all year and now 18-year old Selemon Barega has now run 12:43.02 - only Kenenisa Bekele, Haile Gebrselassie, and Daniel Komen have run faster.
