Carrie Tollefson made a strong move on the second lap and pulled away from Lauren Fleshman and Sara Bei to win in 12:32. |
After missing this meet last year after having hernia surgery, this must have been a satisfying comeback for Tollefson. |
This was Tollefson's first USA Cross Country title, which she adds to her 1997 NCAA Cross Country title. |
Lauren Fleshman later mentioned that because of the cold, it was tough to get her legs moving when Carrie Tollefson made her move. |
Fleshman led the U.S. to a bronze medal in this event at last year's World Cross Country Championships, where she finished 11th. |
