This race was scheduled as the headlining meet-closer because it was slated to be the epic showdown between reigning World champion Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, but the Norwegian star is still recovering from an Achilles injury and has scratched. The good news is that Ingebrigtsen posted that he’s heading to a training camp soon—a good sign that he may be back to running on the ground after posting primarily cross training YouTube videos to his channel recently.

Kerr is racing for the first time since winning the 1500m at Grand Slam Track: Philadelphia in a season’s best of 3:34.44. As the rest of the world has hit another gear and 10 men have broken 3:30 this outdoor season, we’ll see where Kerr can insert himself among them.

Kenya’s Phanuel Koech (who ran 3:27.72 at the Paris Diamond League), George Mills (No. 3 on the world list with his 3:28.36 personal best also from Paris), and Cameron Myers (3:29.80 PB from Ostrava on June 24th) look like Kerr’s fittest competition. But don’t sleep on Jake Wightman, who may only have a 3:33.14 season’s best but ran slightly faster en route to his 3:47.82 mile PB in Eugene, and just ran 1:44.71 to win an 800m in Lignano, Italy, this past weekend.
