Deena Kastor ran right behind the lead trio, but eventually a little gap became a bigger gap, and she wasn't quite able to stay with them.
As Blake Russell (and Katie McGregor, on Russell's shoulder) continued to set a quick pace, runners began to drop off the back of the pack one by one.	Late in the race, it was down to Katie McGregor, Jen Rhines, and Blake Russell.	Deena Kastor ran right behind the lead trio, but eventually a little gap became a bigger gap, and she wasn't quite able to stay with them.	It was surprising to see Elva Dryer, who had won the Bolder Boulder 10K in late May and was clearly in good shape, dropping off the lead pack, but this was one of the most competitive U.S. women's 10,000s in years. Dryer finished fifth in 32:00.91.	Katie McGregor pulled away from Blake Russell (who is right behind McGregor above) on the final lap to win her first USA track title in an impressive 31:33.82.
