From
the straight-on view as the runners headed down the
homestretch...
|
...it
was tough to call who was ahead.
|
Sam
Burley and Jonathan Johnson battled it out...
|
...And
Burley managed to outlean Johnson by .01 of a second.
|
Burley
won his first NCAA title on his last try, 1:46.50
to 1:46.51.

Stevens
came up for 3rd (1:46.85), Joseph 4th (1:47.05) and
Brannen a disappointing 5th (1:47.45).
|
Burley
fell to the track after he crossed the finish line
and didn't immediately get to celebrate his win.
|
The
start of the 5,000m final.

Cheboiywo was an unknown factor here.
