Ben Jipcho is correct. Further hint: the three come from different nations, so remaining two are not Kenyan.

Bravo to Basis. Those are the last 2. For the record Bayi is #61 in 1500 (3:32.16) and #65 in steeple (8:12.48). Jipcho is #81 in both the 1500 (3:33.16) and steeple (8:13.91). Hachlaf is near the bottom @ #94 in 1500 (3:33.59) and @#99 in steeple (8:15.33). The 1500 marks would all drop one position if Geb's 3:31.76 is included.

Re: Statistical trivia

For the record, the numerical positions I displayed for 1500m were for outdoor marks only. When you include Geb's indoor 3:31.76, each of them move down 1 position.
