Runners Crossing the Finish Line

(Original Caption) Same Times but No Dead Heats. Mexico City, Mexico: At left above Wes Santee (left) of the U.S., and Juan Miranda of Argentina are shown hitting the finish line in the 1,500 meter qualifying run at the Pan American games in Mexico City. Both men's faces show they are giving their all. Their time was exactly the same, 4:6.4, but Miranda, inches ahead, was the winner. The photo at right shows how the same two runners finished two days later when Miranda won the 1,500 meter event from Santee (left). Again the time was the same for both, 3:53.2, but again Miranda's chest was first to the tape and he was declared the winner. Both broke the games record of 4:00.4.
