Former University of Wisconsin runner Matt Tegenkamp, fresh off earning a berth on the U.S. Olympic track and field team, ran the fastest 1,500 meters ever on Wisconsin soil Tuesday night in a four-man showdown at the McClimon Track Complex.
Tegenkamp’s victory in a time of 3 minutes, 37.94 seconds, came in front of about 1,000 fans, and at the expense of fellow UW alumnus Chris Solinsky, who finished third in 3:40.67.
