by LetsRun.comJuly 19, 2013
Monaco – Reigning world champion Jennifer Simpson of the US, who last year finished dead last in her semifinal heat of the Olympics, is officially back. She’s not just back, she’s better than ever.
Tonight, Simpson showed in Monaco that she’s definitely a big time medal threat for the upcoming Moscow World Championships as she earned her first ever Diamond League victory. Ahead at the bell, Simpson gave up the lead on the back-stretch to 2012 world indoor 3000 champ Hellen Obiri of Kenya, who just won the Kenyan champs last week, but Simpson rallied in the final 100 to dispatch Obiri. Simpson’s last lap was a stellar 59.30 and her final time was 4:00.48 – the second best time of Simpson’s career (her personal best is 3:59.90).World Champion tunes up for Moscow
