What Happened Day 6 (Aug. 26 evening - Aug 27 morning): Matthew Centrowitz advanced in the 1,500 meters, and senior Johnathan Cabral wrapped up his season with a personal best in the 110 meter hurdles.
Centrowitz, a two-time World Championship medalist in the 1,500 meters, went directly to the front during the early stages of his opening round heat. The leaders ran very conservatively over the first half of the race, passing 800 meters in 2:08 with Centrowitz in the middle of the field. Positioning himself well over the final 400 meters, he finished the race relaxed and easily qualified for Friday's semifinals, finishing third in 3:43.
