Middle-distance stars Ryan Mphahlele and Tshepo Tshite on Monday clocked the fastest 1,500m times on South African soil as they pushed each other to new personal bests that are both inside the world championship qualifying standard.
Mphahlele, 24, won the Cape Milers’ race at the Green Point stadium in 3 min 32.90 sec, just ahead of 26-year-old Tshite, the national champion in this event, in 3:33.02.
Mphahlele and Tshite, who has decided to leave the 800m to focus on the longer race, also moved up to second and third on the all-time South African list behind record-holder Johan Cronje, who set his 3:31.93 mark in Italy.
