The 16-year-old Wilson ran a time that would have won the last two world titles while Mu went out in 57.15 but had nothing in the last 100 in a race won in 1:58.19. In other action, unheralded 33-year-old Emmanuel Matadi ran 9.93 to win the 100 (+1.2) and Josh Hoey (1:44.22) beat Clayton Murphy (1:45.01) in the 800 and two-time Olympic and 4-time World champ Christian Taylor jumped for the last time in the men's tripe jump.

‒LRC messageboard poster "Raph" writing on our world-famous LetsRun.com forums. Amazingly, Raph has looked up the closing kicks of every modern global champion in both their championship wins and in their PR races and compared them to Hocker's close at USAs. No one has ever closed like Hocker.
