Will Alan Webb's US HS 3:53.43 record fall on Thursday night?

*MB: Faith Kipyegon to Attempt 1500m WR in Florence
Mantz ran 29:08 to get a come-from-behind victory over Kenya's Alex Masai by 3 seconds. Kenya won the international team race ahead of Team USA.
She was just the third American to win the women's pro race, but she was not part of the winning team which was Team USA-Colorado, lead by former Colorado runner Carrie Verdon in third.
Nuguse closed very well but Ingebrigtsen was too good and won in 3:32. El Bakkali’s time was the fastest steeple since 2012 and puts him 8th all-time. *Compiled Results *WA Recap

Nur fell, but still ran 13:05 while Young ran 13:34.
Articles/MB Talk:
Craig Engels returns with 1:47.32 win in the 800m.
Chemusto began 2023 with a 4:14 1500m pb but is down to 4:01 after using a 59.8 last lap to win in Nairobi on May 13.
They say this will "allow more flexibility in the setting of 200m tracks" so that for example, if a city wants to build a temporary outdoor 200m track in a city square or train station, they can do that and still have it count for "short track" (formerly "indoor") records. This has no effect on traditional 400m outdoor track meets/records.
Starting at the 2023 Worlds, the 1500, 5k, and steeple will only use automatic qualifiers. We love the change but wish they'd gone farther and included the 800.
Cordell Tinch of DII Pittsburg State had the performance of the week as he also long jumped 8.24m (+3.2) and cleared 2.18m in the HJ at his conference meet.
When track and field fans walk into a bar or go on a run, doping is often the topic of conversation. With that in mind, we want your thoughts on which current track and field stars you think are clean and which you think are dirty.
