At
roughly 2.5 miles, the Stanford pack had grown. L-R: Sara Bei, Katy
Trotter, Teresa McWalters, Amanda Trotter...
|
...Alicia
Craig and Arianna Lambie. One observer noted as they ran by, "They're
talking!" Despite the relaxed atmosphere...
|
...several of the Stanford runners set personal bests. They determined
who would win the race by geography.
|
Arianna Lambie (who grew up closest to Maine) was supposed to win,
but some confusion about the location of the finish line resulted...
|
...in Amanda Trotter (a New Jersey native) being registered as the
first runner across the line. All seven Stanford runners...
|
...finished
between 17:05.2 and 17:06.3.
|
Jeane
Goff caught up to the lead pack and finished fourth in 17:05.5.
