Lawrence led the pack as she, Dron, and Canty separated themselves from the field in the late stages of the race.

The race came down to a kick between Lawrence and Canty. Lawrence was first across the line in 9:44.85 with Canty second in 9:45.91. VanLeuven came back to grab third.

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.
