The Arnold star runner came in third in a post-Olympics international race.

Arnold's track-and-field sensation Matthew Centrowitz set a new personal record for the 1,500 meter race while in Switzerland this week.

While running in the Diamond League race in Lausanne, Switzerland, Centrowitz shaved a solid 2.5 seconds off of his 3:34.46 personal best record to come in at 3:31.96. 

In a video interview, he told Flo Track that, "I still have a lot of racing left in me. I want to finish off this season with some more (personal bests)."
