Kerr finished in 3 minutes, 29.28 seconds to join Jake Wightman as the second British runner in two years to upset Ingebrigtsen at the World Championships. "I just wanted to go out there, do myself proud, and put together a race that, regardless of the position, regardless of the medal colour, it was something that I could say, you know what, that was an accumulation of hard work, mental strength and early mornings and late nights. So, it was a surreal experience now, but I'm loving every second," Kerr said.
