Moscow –Jenny Simpson ran a gutsy 1,500-meter race at the 2013 IAAF World Championships and took home the silver after finishing in 4:02.99.

The race was held up over 10 minutes as they waited for the men’s high jump completion to conclude, but it didn’t seem to faze Simpson as she shot to the start from the gun. Simpson led through 400 in 1:05.73, followed by Hellen Obiri of Kenya. Simpson continued towing the field through 800 in 2:13.92, this time with Abeba Aregawi of Sweden on her shoulder.

At the bell, it was Simpson in 3:03.78, with 1,200 passed in 3:18.91. Aregawi took the lead at 1200 but Simpson fought back, along with Obiri. In the homestretch, Simpson came back on Aregawi, but the Swede held on to win in 4:02.67 to Simpson’s 4:02.99. Obiri came third in 4:03.86.
