Ostrander kept tight with the leaders for ten crowded laps, then American record holder Huddle, who was far superior to the rest of the field at the distance, really put the hammer down. She ran possibly two 63-second laps. Only 1,500-meter specialist Shelby Houlihan kept near her. Kim Conley won the close race for third. Ostrander dropped off the pace and was nipped from behind at the finish to place 8th. It was a fine run, her second in a week.
