The 1500 meters, simply by the nature of the event, is always going to be one of the most-anticipated races at any championship meet. The race's length is right in the Goldilocks zone -- long enough for drama to build, short enough that the early laps can still matter -- and the tendency for most championship finals to be settled on the final lap creates maximum excitement. Five years ago, the women's 1500 was one of the best races of the US Olympic Trials, with
Brenda Martinez edging Amanda Eccleston for the final spot by .03 after both women ran down reigning Trials champ
Morgan Uceny in the home straight. The 2019 USA final in Des Moines was just as compelling, with
Nikki Hiltz prevailing over
Sinclaire Johnson and
Kate Grace in a
three-way kick for the third spot to Worlds.
