Men's 1500m Winner Jose Eduardo Silvestre (Mexico) On winning the event: It is my first competition in the United States and of this year. I started the season with 3:47.

So I’m excited for the future, ready to go into the rest of the season. On the difference with competing at the Texas Relays last year: I don’t know. I actually really like it here, I like the sunlight. I’m from Chicago, usually it’s cold and sunny, not like hot and sunny. So I really appreciate it.
