SIX STRAIGHT ARE YOU KIDDING ME 😫
Nikki Hiltz continues to be unbeatable in U.S. finals, as they claim their sixth straight indoor/outdoor 1500m title thanks to a 58.67 final lap over 2022 champ Sinclaire Johnson, running 4:03.15 to book their spot on Team USA.
Johnson finishes second in 4:03.77 and Emily MacKay takes third in 4:04.38.
