Amy Yoder Begley led early on in the women's 5,000 final.
|
Shalane Flanagan ran in second place early on, and then moved up on Yoder Begley's shoulder.
|
Eventually, Flanagan would have no more of the slow (relatively speaking) pace, and she moved into the lead. Carrie Tollefson and Shayne Culpepper followed.
|
Flanagan soon began to pull away, and no one went with her.
|
Carrie Tollefson and Amy Rudolph were among those who led the chase pack. Also in there were Lauren Fleshman, Shayne Culpepper, Amy Yoder Begley, Sara Slattery (mostly obscured) and Sara Bei.
