Matthew Centrowitz returned to prominence after the former Oregon Duck star and 2016 Olympic gold medalist won the 1,500 meters at the USA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

Centrowitz, who trains for Nike Oregon Project, was in third heading into the final 400 meters. He passed front-runner Eric Jenkins, of Nike Oregon Project, and Izaic Yorks to take first in a time of 3 minutes, 43.37 seconds.

Yorks finished second in 3:43.63, and Jenkins placed third. It was Centrowitz's fourth USATF Outdoor 1,500 title, having previously won in 2011, 2013 and 2015. It was a significant win for Centrowitz, who has struggled with injuries and illness since capturing the 1,500 gold at the 2016 Olympics.

The women's 1,500 winner was Bowerman Track Club's Shelby Houlihan, who posted a mild upset in beating Jenny Simpson, the 2017 world silver medalist. Houlihan went from third to first on the final lap to win the 1,500 in 4:05.48, almost a second ahead of the runner-up Simpson, a seven-time national champion in the 1,500.

It was the second time Houlihan has beaten Simpson in the past month, as she surged past 2016 Olympic bronze medalist at the Prefontaine Classic.

Kate Grace of Bowerman Track Club finished third.

Another moderate upset came in men's shot, where Olympic gold medalist Ryan Crouser finished second. The former Barlow High School star fouled on five of six throws, but his one legal throw of 68 feet, 101/2 inches was good for second, well behind Darrell Hill, who won with a throw of 70-91/4.

Courtney Frerichs of Bowerman Track Club chased Emma Coburn for the final 1,000 meters but couldn't catch her in placing second in women's 3,000 steeplechase. Coburn won the race in 9:17.70, about a second ahead of Frerichs. Marie (Mel) Lawrence, who lives in Bend, was a distant third.

Former Oregon Duck Jasmine Todd placed fourth in long jump at 21-1 1/2, four inches behind the winner, Sha'keela Saunders.

Among events that weren't finals, former University of Oregon star Devon Allen ran the day's fastest time in the first round of men's 110 hurdles.

Here are Saturday's complete results from the USATF meet.
