Simiu headlines the men’s field with a Personal Best time of 59:04 and is closely followed by compatriot Leonard Barsoton.
Mu still possesses a threat to Moraa since she is not suffering from any injury setback but she noted that she has been going through a lot lately. It is not a guarantee that she will compete though since she has been a serial withdrawer from races.
She was to compete at the Millrose Games in February but withdrew the week of the meet. She was listed among the entrants at the Music City Track Carnival in June but did not compete there and also withdrew from the Ed Murphey Classic in August.
