BEIJING, China - With a 12th-place finish in the 1500-meter semifinals, Lopez Lomong's Olympic run came to an end on Sunday, Aug. 17, in at the National Stadium in Beijing. Lomong, who trains at the Academy with Air Force second-year cross country coach John Hayes, clocked a time of 3:41.00 to place 12th in the first heat of semifinal action.
