Yesterday Andrew Wheating won the 1500m finals, one of the most anticipated events of the Pan American Games. The 27-year-old held off some fierce kicking in the last 120m, contested by the Canadians Nathan Brannen and Charles Philbert-Thiboutot to win in a time of 3:41.41. Wheating's seasonal best of 2015 comes from March, where he ran 3:38.75 at the Sydney Track Classic. Prior to Pan Ams, he finished fifth at the USA Championships. 

Needless to say, Wheating was thrilled with his performance.
