Schappert 8th in 1500m Final at World University Games

Former Villanova All-American Nicole Schappert ran 4:15.02 today in Kazan, Russia to finish 8th in the 1500 meter final at the World University Games.  Schappert's time was well off her 4:07 PR set in 2012, but she is coming off surgery and was unable to attain her full level of fitness by missing the 2013 indoor season.  All in all, though, Schappert represented the USA well in Kazan in advancing to the event final.  Here are the results:
