5. Texas Tech fifth-year senior Leigh Daniel.
6. Marni Kruppa and Charlotte Sanderson working hard.
7. Yoder Begley started to put distance on Sara Day with about a mile to go, steadily moving away and, crossing the finish line in 33:59.96, six seconds ahead of Day.
8. The temperature throughout these championships varied tremendously, from too cold to too hot. Thursday saw a high temperature of 89 degrees and the temperature was still in the 80s when the 10k race went off.
9. Yoder Begley hardly got to enjoy her victory as she collapsed upon crossing the finish line.
10. Illinois State junior Stacia Beste with one lap to go (15th, 36:13.17).
11. Yoder Begley required medical attention at the finish line and was eventually carted off the track. She recovered well enough to compete in the 5,000m final two days later.
12. Arkansas coach Lance Harter would later say, "When it comes down to willpower and determination, it's awful tough to stop a person like Amy, and she showed that tonight."
