The Delray Beach, Fla., native picks up his first weekly honor of his career.

Willis finished over two seconds ahead of the runner-up and secured his spot at nationals as he bettered the automatic qualifying standard of 7:56.00. The New Zealand native collects his third weekly accolade of his career.
