DOHA, Qatar — Jenny Simpson ran a season-best 3 minutes, 58.42 seconds in the finals of the 1,500-meter run, but it was not fast enough to finish on the podium as she ended up eighth at the 2019 IAAF World Championships.
"I ran a season-best," Simpson said. "I feel really good about it. Once I felt really out of the race, it was hard to keep running. I just told myself, 'Be the racer that you are no matter what place you are in,' so I really tried to run for seventh.
