Day 4; USATF Championships: Leer 4th, Heath 9th in 1500; Videos

As Ben Blankenship predicted earlier in the week, the 1500 was ripe for the taking for "the underdogs."  In a tactical race that came down to the all too familiar last lap sprint, Leo Manzano, not exactly an unknown but who started the year without a sponsor, won the race in 3:38.63, Pat Casey was second in 3:38.94 and Lopez Lomong and Will Leer's race to the finish was decided by a photo.  Lomong timed in 3:39.103 and Leer 3:39.109.  Garrett Heath, who led for most of the race was timed in 2:45.77 with a lap to go,  finished ninth in 3:40.20.
