When it looked like the Texas A&M junior might not finish top three, Whitmarsh maneuvered through multiple runners, but it slowed the runner down enough that the eventual winner, Virginia runner Shane Cohen, ran outside and was able to take the win.
Despite not taking home the title, Whitmarsh smiled well before coming across the finish line. Only a few years ago, Whitmarsh was stricken with a heart condition that required surgery. He took 18th place at last year's NCAA Championships, but just a month ago was crowned the SEC Champion in men's 800m.
