Matthew Centrowitz outkicked the field to win the 1,500-meter final Sunday in the Pacific-10 Conference Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in a fantastic finish.
Centrowitz barely held off a surging Galen Rupp in the home stretch, while Andrew Wheating kicking hard in front of the West grandstands caught Garrett Heath of Stanford just before the finish line for third place.
Heath, a six-time All-American, was the Pac-10's defending 1,500 champ.
Ducks go 1-2-3 over the defending champ! Reminds me of some of the meets when I was in grad school, in the Prefontaine era.
