Great race by Texas senior in last weekend’s NCAA Track and Field Championships. He leads the 1500m race wire to wire and has an incredible kick at the end to pull away easily. I’m not a big track guy but watching him run the last lap of that race got me fired up as a Longhorn fan.

Watch the race below:

Manzano is an incredible athlete. He also won a national title in the 1500m in 2005. Congrats Leo on the big win and good luck in your professional career.
