Kristen Fryburg, 24, of Centerville, Ohio.

This race also served as the Armed Forces Championship.
|
Just past the 1K mark, Colleen De Reuck had taken over the lead, Blake Russel ran in second place, and Jen Rhines in third.
|
De Reuck, 40, was old enough to compete in the masters' race which would be held later in the day, but she is still among the best open runners in the U.S.
|
De Reuck, Russell, and Rhines all played key roles in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in April 2004.
