Running in Heat #2, which turned out to be the much faster of the two heats, Nicole Schappert found herself sitting pretty at the half-way mark of the USATF indoor nationals 1500 meters. The race went out slowly, and at the 700 meter mark, the field was still bunched. Nicole was in 4th, only .36 seconds behind eventual winner Jenny Simpson. The second half of the race, however, sped up dramatically and saw Nicole drop from 4th place to 10th. She finished in 4:29.97, well off her 4:17 PR. Inasmuch as heat #2 was much faster than heat #1, Nicole finished 12th overall, out of 20 competitors. Here are the merged results of the two heats.
