Athletics: O'Hare takes second spot
The 20-year-old Tulsa University student, who broke four minutes for the first time last January, was timed at 3:59.62, just .13 sec behind winner Miles Batty (Brigham Young), whom he had pipped to win his heat the previous day in 4:00.87.
The former Peebles High pupil, whose best time is 3:56.48, tried to push the pace for most of the race, even though all the other competitors had previously broken four minutes.
