A rare dead heat in the 1500m at the national athletics championships in Dunedin has seen a tie in the track’s blue-riband event.
Olympian Sam Tanner and 15-year-old Sam Ruthe will share the title after this afternoon’s heart-stopping race at the Caledonian Ground in Dunedin, which ended in a photo finish.
It will be Tanner’s fifth national 1500m crown and Ruthe’s first at senior level.
