by Lucas Martin

Pocatello, Idaho- The 2009 Simplot Games 800 meters was truly a photo finish. Alex Weinheimer, a senior from Boulder, Colorado, ousted senior Karl Robertson from Edmonton, Alberta, by a slim .35 seconds. Weinheimer ran an impressive 1:53.11.

Last year Weinheimer took second in the 800 meters, losing his lead in the last 50 meters.

“Last year I felt like I lost my title so I was excited to come back this year and get the win,” says Weinheimer.
