Chespol finished clear of countrywoman Beatrice Chepkoech (9:00.70) and world-record holder Ruth Jebet (9:03.52).
Jebet's record set in Paris last year remains the marker, although Chespol, 18, briefly stopped after her shoe fell off.
Chespol became just the third woman to break the nine-minute mark.
In the women's 5,000m, Genzebe Dibaba cruised to victory ahead of Lilian Kasait Rengeruk and Sifan Hassan.
It was an American one-two in the long jump as Brittney Reese beat Tianna Bartoletta, with Britain's Lorraine Ugen third.
The javelin was taken out by Belarusian Tatsiana Khaladovich.
