Olympians' workout draws Hayward crowd
Oregon
On a warm evening, much like the night of the 800 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials, U.S. team members Nick Symmonds and Andrew Wheating showed off their final tune-up before the Beijing Olympic Games in front of a backdrop of a few hundred parents and athletes Wednesday at Hayward Field. Each athlete ran distances longer than the 800m they qualified for the Olympics in. Symmonds chose the 1,000m, a distance he'd never ran before, finishing in a time of 2:17.78. An unusual distance, the 1,000m has been run by only 14 runners this year, of which Symmonds' time ranks eighth.
