He was making up ground from 1300-1450m. He didn't gain on Kessler the final 50m. Not sure what that really means for a race in July but gotta give Kessler some credit for having something in the final 50m
I think this was a good first race for Wightman. The pace really slowed up from 800-1200, so I expected to see a quick last 400. If that was absent, I’d be more concerned. Solid rustbuster.
Hobbs looked great taking the lead and never giving it up. Hoping he can stay hungry for leading up to the trials.
Wightman's first race after a year of injury. Nice to see his kick is still there and he's running well straight away. He'll be back under 3:30 by the summer
Wightman has a great kick, we all remember his Worlds victory over Jakob summer of 2022. But all the credit goes to Hobbs for a well executed race and win for today, we will focus on Paris in a few months
