Catherine Berry, pictured here with two laps to go, finished fourth in 16:09.48. Merima Hashim, who also had two laps to go here, finished fifth in 16:13.67. Sentayehu Ejigu, who ran 14:35.18 for this distance last year, finished third in 15:09.07. Tirunesh Dibaba did not break the world record, she was just under eight seconds off... ...but she did run the fastest time ever by a woman on U.S. soil: 14:32.42.
