Australian middle-distance star Oliver Hoare has received a major confidence boost after finishing an impressive second in the Bowerman Mile at the venue which will host the upcoming world championships. The Australian's time of three minutes 50.65 seconds bettered his previous PB set a year ago at the same venue. But she was no match for two-time Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon of Kenya who claimed the win in a world-leading 3:52.59. In only her second meet of the year, Olympic silver medallist Nicola Olyslagers (nee McDermott) was fifth in the women's high jump with 1.90m. Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah triumphed in a 100m showdown with American Sha'Carri Richardson, while Trayvon Bromell won the men's 100m.
