California distance star Jordan Hasay (Arroyo Grande, Calif.) ran a savvy race on the way to her second-fastest time ever, winning silver in the 1,500m with a time of 4:17.24. Hasay ran at the front of the pack for most of the race and had to escape the team tactics of Kenyans Sheila Kiprotich and Sammary Cherotich midway through the first lap. The 15-year-old U.S. junior 1,500 champion surged to the front through 800 in 2:16.08, and ran a 2:18.6 final 800 to finish second to Kiprotich.

“This didn’t really go according to my race plan,” Hasay said. “I was going to let the Kenyans lead, but I just kind of went for it when I saw they were teaming up on me. My legs were getting pretty heavy at the end and I just tried to hang on. It is my first international trip, and it is a good experience. It’s good to be here away from the usual pressure.”
