Top
seed Lilli Kleinmann jumps out to an early lead in the women's
5,000m, followed closely by #2 seed Erica Palmer of Wisconsin
(DNF).
|
Kleinmann
built up a significant lead in the first 2,000m by going out quickly,
but couldn't hold it as the pack overtook her with 1,100m to go.

Tara
Chaplin (2nd, 16:13.58) of Arizona and Kelly MacDonald - one of
three Arizona State runners in the race - (5th, 16:20.83), run

Jodie
Hughes appeared to be a non-factor for much of the race before
moving up to join the chase pack.
|
The
pack, led by Chaplin, swallows Kleinmann (who went on to finish
10th). #88 Marni Kruppa ran a great race in 3rd (16:14.13).

In
only her second 5,000m race ever, Jodie Hughes ran an extremely
smart race to fill in the Kara Grgas-Wheeler gap in the Colorado
lineup and win her first individual national title (16:08.61).

as Brooks carried Missouri to the National Title in 11:06.77 (over
UNC's 11:11.11).
