Hull won a relay global medal at the World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst last year<\/a> and is hoping to become a solo global medallist at Paris 2024<\/a>, at which she will race the 1500m.\ufeff<\/p>\n

At the same meet on Sunday morning (AEST), Australian duo Olli Hoare and Cameron Myers finished ninth and 11th respectively in an extremely competitive men's mile race.<\/p>\n

Hoare clocked 3:49.11 and Myers posted 3:50.15, slashing more than two seconds from his own Australian under-20 record.<\/p>\n

The race was won in 3:45.\ufeff34 by British world champion Josh Kerr, who conquered reigning 1500m Olympic<\/a> champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen amid a verbal stoush en route to the Paris Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And in the women's 10,000m at Hayward Field, Kenyan Beatrice Chebet became the first woman to crack the 29-minute barrier, stopping the clock at 28:54.14.<\/p>\n

Hull said her run at the Prefontaine Classic, as the meet is also known, was a "great confidence booster" ahead of the Olympics.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I was so consistent last year at 3:57 and that got me seventh in Budapest [at the World Athletics Championships last year]," Hull said.<\/p>\n

\"Beatrice<\/p>\n

"If I look at the landscape of the sport and look at the times that I would need to medal, I need to be consistent at that mid to low 3:50s, so getting a 3:55 on the board today gives me confidence and I think we will find a little bit more throughout the season."<\/p>\n

Hull sat third at the bell, tucked in behind St. Pierre, before kicking past the American with about 200 metres remaining.<\/p>\n

\ufeffWelteji, who had gained an unassailable lead, took victory with a time of 3:53.75.<\/p>\n
