Women's 1500m

A thrilling race was made even more interesting when Athing Mu took the lead and looked like she might be able to pull off a victory in what is likely her third-best distance. However, Nikki Hiltz's furious kick put them past Mu just before the finish line. Cory McGee placed third and Sinclaire Johnson fell across the line to take fourth. Johnson's place is important because Mu is likely running the 800m at the World Championships, and not the 1500m. That would open up a spot for Johnson. 

Nikki Hiltz with the big finish! @Nikki_Hiltz claims first U.S. title in the women’s 1,500m at USA Outdoors and clocks a time of 4:03.10, slipping past @athiiing in the final meters.

Men's 1500m

Yared Nuguse led for most of the race before Washington's Joe Waskom took the lead away from Nuguse. But Nuguse did not relent, recapturing the lead and moving away in the final meters. Waskom kept hold of second place and the Washington miler will be going to the World Championships. In third, Cole Hocker held off Sam Prakel and will be on his first U.S. team since the Tokyo Olympics. 

You can’t stop Yared Nuguse.

The On athlete fought off the men’s 1,500m field at USA Outdoors on Saturday to win in 3:34.90 and claim his World Championship spot.
