Oregon Sweeps NCAA Men's 1,500m, video, note by Larry Eder

This video, from You Tube, shows how the Ducks swept the NCAA Men’s 1,500 meters last weekend! While the pedestrian pace (66 for 400 meters, 2:12 for 800 meters) provided for
a brutally tough finish, Wheating, Acosta and Centrowitz swept the race for the Ducks. Most importantly, Andrew Wheating became the first male since Duck Joaquim Cruz, way back
in 1984, to win the 800 meters/1,500 meters double.
