More Silver...

The University of Utah's McCarthey Family Track & Field produces another Olympic medal as Leo Manzano who trained here in June brought home the silver medal for the US in the 1500m race at the London Olympics.

Manzano bided his time at the back of the lead pack most of the race before moving into fifth around the final turn.  He stalked the leaders with his patented kick and caught all but one runner.  American Matthew Centrowitz who also trained on our track in June was just off the medal stand as he finished fourth.

The MFTF medal count is now up to three with three more chances to go in the women's 1500m (Shannon Rowbury) and the men's 5K (Farah and Rupp).

The world's best come to the University of Utah and Salt Lake City for their altitude training!!!
