Rob Myers claimed his second USATF Indoor 1500m title with a stellar time of 3:40.89. The former Ohio State star bided his time in the pack for the first kilometer before taking control during the last quarter mile.
The race got off to an honest start with Kalpanatit Broderick taking it out in 57.82 for 400m and slowing a bit to split 1:59.82 for 800m. He was followed by Myers, Stanford Alum Russell Brown, and Sean O’Brien with the rest of the field still in tow.
Myers took the lead around 1100m, with Broderick dropping out shortly thereafter. He was followed closely by 3:56 miler Steve Sherer and Russel Brown.
Sherer made an effort to take the lead but was held off by Brown and Myers with Myers breaking the tape in 3:40.89. Brown ran 3:41.20 to place second and earn the last World Championships spot with Sherer third in 3:41.52 and former DIII standout William Leer claiming fourth in 3:41.94.
