This Week In Track And Field: Jacob Kiplimo’s Half Marathon Controversy; Sam Ruthe’s 3:48 Mile At 16 Years Old, Doping News For Paris 2024 Stars + Femke Bol’s 800m Debut Expectations

This week in track and field, Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia unpack:

– Jacob Kiplimo and the pace car controversy from his half marathon world record: Most people agree this wasn’t a surprise, wasn’t his fault, and still somehow exposed how odd World Athletics’ rulebook really is.

– Catching up on the 2026 Boston Marathon and London Marathon field announcements.

– Sam Ruthe’s 3:48 mile and why it’s forcing fans to recalibrate what’s possible at 16 + how that performance stacks up against Cooper Lutkenhaus’ historic 800m run last year.

– Femke Bol’s upcoming 800-meter debut and why expectations range from sub-2 immediately to a low stakes launch.

– Alysha Newman and Benard Kibet Koech were suspended by the AIU for anti-doping violations.
