Updated with quote from Ben: Ben Blankenship 4th in 1500

In a race that turned into a 400, rather than a 1500 like most championship races, Ben Blankenship was outleaned at the line to finish fourth in the 1500.  Result is HERE.

Ben Blankenship finishes 4th in 1500 and hops the fence before seeing media.

@benfblankenship just misses worlds by .02. Andrews had amazing last 400.

I laid it all on the line and came up .02 seconds short. It's a hangover that will last 365 days.
