|
Molly
Huddle continues to run in third place, with the fourth place...
|
...runner
almost a straightaway behind.
|
Kim
Smith goes by the main pack. With about seven laps to go...
|
...Smith
had lapped everyone but Alicia Craig and Molly Huddle.

Huddle
is a 19-year-old sophomore from Elmira, New York.
|
Melissa

Craig also lapped a handful of runners.
|
Smith
had finished second to Shalane Flanagan (who was redshirting the
track season to prepare for the Olympic Trials)...
|
...in
the NCAA Cross Country Championships the previous fall. The work
she had done during the fall was clearly paying off here.
|
