BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Josh Kerr has pulled off a big upset of the world championships, outrunning heavily favored Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway to the line for a win in the 1,500 meters. Kerr finished in 3 minutes, 29.28 seconds to join Jake Wightman as the second British runner in two years to upset Ingebrigtsen at worlds. The 22-year-old Norwegian is the Olympic champion and has the fastest times this season. He came in as a 1-7 betting favorite but has yet to cross the line first in the 1,500 a world-championship meet. This silver goes with the one from last year, along with a second place at indoor championships in 2021 and at junior worlds in 2018.
