Jill Snyder, a Wake Forest senior, waits for the start of the race. She finished 8th in 4:45.29.
Tracy Robertson was extremely popular with the home crowd.
L-R: Shalane Flanagan, Korene Hinds, Mary Jayne Harrelson, Tracy Robertson, Katie Crabb and Michaela Mannova on the first lap.
Robertson expressed fear about falling (as she had at the SEC Championships) so she stayed near the front of the pack the whole way.
Kansas State standout Korene Hinds.
Freshman Shalane Flanagan entered the meet with the #1 ranking but just never got up near the front of this race. Like many, she had run two hard miles in the prelims. and DMR the night before.
When Robertson and Harrelson pulled away from the field, it was clear that it would become a two-woman race... until Harrelson limped off the track with 150 meters to go.
Stanford's Lauren Fleshman leads the chase pack.
L-R: Mannova (a freshman), Colorado's Lesley Higgins, and Crabb.
An elated Robertson won by more than three seconds on her home track, running 4:39.10.
Higgins ran a Jodie Hughes-esque race (coming from behind) to finish second in 4:42.36.
Fleshman (right, 4:43.52) edged out Mannova (4:43.57) for third.
UNC's Alice Schmidt on the starting line of the 800.
L-R: Schmidt, Patricia Pearson, Natalie Watson, Svetlana Badrankova and Tanya Jarrett.
Schmidt runs at the tail end of the pack.
L-R: Pearson, Watson,, Ashley Wysong, Badrankova, Aimee Teteris (mostly obscured), Schmidt and Laura Gerber.
A little jostling between Rice's Teteris and Tanya Jarrett of Texas.
When Badrankova went, she really went -- winning in 2:06.58 over Schmidt (2:08.47).
