Chepkoech WR
MOUNTAIN VIEW (USA): Track and Field News´s 24-member international voting panel had no trouble in finding its 2018 winner as Women’s Performance Of The Year. Beatrice Chepkoech’s crushing of the World Record was all that it took for her to become the first steepler ever to earn the top spot. She received 21 of the votes for No. 1, 2 for No. 2 and her other at No. 3. The remaining 3 No. 1s all went to runner-up Caster Semenya. Third place for Shaunae Miller-Uibo 48.97 in the 400 m, fourth 52.75 WJR by Sydney McLaughlin at 400 m hurdles and fifth Sandra Perkovic with 71.38 in discus.
runblogrun opines: Beatrice Chepkoech’s WR showed that she has the talent to reduce the record even more. Nice pick by TF&N.
