BREAKTHROUGHS AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Centro is an accomplished NCAA runner with 3 Pac-10 1500 meter titles as well as an NCAA title and United States National Championship. While the Duck faithful were glued to their televisions (or seats in Cowboy Stadium) Centro was running a race Pre would have been proud to watch. Matt was aggressive from the beginning running stride for stride with the leader in second place. Just before the “bell lap” Matt found himself lagging in 8th place having been passed by several runners as they approached the final lap.

| Matt Centrowitz earns the 1500M Bronze |
Matt made a huge move on the backstretch to move to 5th place with 150 meters to go, yet, with 75 meters to go, he still found himself in 6th place before an impressive and incredible kick down the final 50 meters pulled him into a Bronze medal finish. Matt used a 51.6 second final 400 meters to reach the podium. Congratulations to Ashton and Matt for their incredible performances and exceptional representation of the University of Oregon!
