1 month ago

Jonah Koech joins us at 88:50 to discuss his shocking Diamond League 1500m win (nice article here by Jon Gault) where the American went from 3:37 to 3:31 for 1500m and took down the Diamond League field.

Beatrice Chebet blasted an 8:11, Addy Wiley nearly won the 800, whereas stateside Athing Mu returned to racing the 3rd heat of the 1500m at the Sound Running Track Fest where Eduardo Herrera got a big win in 12:59.

Conner Mantz had a nice Bolder Boulder win and what happened to the USATF NYC Grand Prix?
