Sara Bei, now running for Asics, finished a solid sixth in 15:24.74 in her first race as a professional runner.

Amy Rudolph (congratulating Shalane Flanagan) finished third in 15:18.92 and qualified for the World Championship team (like Flanagan, she already has the "A" standard).

After just three heats of the 400 hurdles, Carrie Tollefson (right) was back in action in the 1,500 prelims. She didn't make the team in the 5,000 (she was fifth in 15:24.13) so she was back to give it another try, without much rest.
|
Treniere Clement (second from right) won the first 1,500m heat in 4:13.95. All but two athletes advanced from this heat. Unfortunately, Tollefson was one of the ones who didn't.

Tiffany McWilliams led the second heat early on. As the sun went down, getting decent photos became more of a challenge.
