Kaki now has four outdoor races at 1:44.82 or better, all wins. Ismail and Borzakovskiy are coasting on indoor results.

1500 meters
1. Haron Keitany, KEN, 151
2. Augustine Choge, KEN, 101

8. Mo Farah, GBR, 55
9. Bouabdellah Tahri, FRA, 54
10. Asbel Kipruto Kiprop, KEN, 53
Kiprop may be down at #10, but he's earned his points off just one mile race plus a bonus for a fast 800. Keitany has run five races, and his close second-place finish at the Prefontaine Classic was his worst outing of the year.
