Most notable was newcomer Celliphine Chespol.<\/p>\n<h2>Chespol Stuns with world junior record<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen year old Celliphine Chespol stunned the gathered crowd with a performance for the ages. She won on commanding fashion, clocking 8:58.78 which is the second fastest time in history, the fastest time of 2017 and a new world youth record. And she accomplished this despite having to stop and adjust her shoes after the water jump.<\/p>\n<p>Three weeks ago in Shanghai, Chespol showed her potential when she challenged Olympic Champion Ruth Jebet and world champion Hyvin Kiyeng. On Friday at Hayward field, Chespol finally announced her arrival. She gives Kenya real hope of winning gold at this event at the 2017 world championships. Prior to the Pre-Fontaine race, Ruth Jebet, who is now running for Bahrain had been the strong favourite.<\/p>\n<p>Beatrice Chepkoech was second in an impressive time of 9:00.70 which rockets her to fifth in the all time list. Kenya now has a very strong cadre of female steeplechasers.<\/p>\n<h3>Race Video<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lVk3gFNlB4Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<h3>Race Results<\/h3>\n<table class=\"records-table clickable\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"8%\">POS<\/th>\n<th width=\"7%\">BIB<\/th>\n<th width=\"40%\">ATHLETE<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">COUNTRY<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">MARK<\/th>\n<th width=\"7%\"><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Celliphine Chepteek <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Chespol<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">8:58.78<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Beatrice <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Chepkoech<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:00.70<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Ruth <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Jebet<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0BRN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:03.52<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Emma <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Coburn<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:07.96<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Courtney <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Frerichs<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:19.09<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Purity Cherotich <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Kirui<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:20.07<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Gesa Felicitas <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Krause<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0GER<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:20.32<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Stephanie <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Garcia<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:25.04<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Genevi\u00e8ve <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Lalonde<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0CAN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:33.95<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Mel <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Lawrence<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">9:39.32<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Caroline Chepkurui <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Tuigong<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">DNF<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Ronald Kwemoi with an impressive win in the mile<\/h2>\n<p>Ronald Kwemoi won the Bowerman mile in impressive fashion, beating a string field that included heavyweights like Asbel Kiprop, Elijah Manangoi, Silas Kiplagat and Ayanleh Souleiman.
