Hey runners, in today's newsletter, the Pre Classic delivered two of the biggest upsets of the season.
Nikki Hiltz outkicked Faith Kipyegon to end her five-year win streak in the mile, posting the fastest women's time in the world this season. And on the men's side, 20-year-old Cameron Myers ran 3:46.06 to win the Bowerman Mile, his first Diamond League title in just his second big meet in eight days.
Elsewhere, World Athletics held the line this week, keeping Russia and Belarus locked out of global competition four years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
