Jordan Neil consolidated his recent 3:43 1500m clocking with a solid 3:45.18 min to place 3rd at the University of North Carolina’s Kent Taylor-Joe Hilton Invitational on Saturday. Seeded as one of the slowest in the final ‘A’ race of the meet, a 3:40 lead (rabbit) pace was expected but the opening 800 was led through somewhat slower in 2:02 before the pace really quickened over the last lap.
