DES MOINES, Iowa – Senior All-American David Timlin repeated as the 1500-meter champion to lead the Sycamores at a successful final day of the 2017 Drake Relays on Saturday.
Timlin, who took the title last year by one-hundredth of a second, won in a similarly dramatic fashion – edging out Bradley's Michael Ward by less than one second at a season-best 3:51.59. The Chicago native used his signature kick with a very quick final lap split of 55.72 for the win. Timlin has been a Second-Team All-American in the 1500 each of the last two seasons.
