What a week. We had a crazy and marvelous World Cross Country Championships in Australia with a tough course, brutal weather, Letesenbet Gidey collapsing, greatness from Jacob Kiplimo and two USA junior medals. Then it was world records galore on the track with Ryan Crouser crushing it, Femke Bol taking down the oldest track record on the books, and Lamecha Girma breaking Daniel Komken's world record. USATF Indoors was a bit of an afterthought but it delivered with some controversy and Sam Prakel leaving as a double champion.
