Jenny went to the lead on the final turn (Kaela Edwards was going for it big time up to that point). Coming off the final turn, the runners were cueing up behind her. BMart had been right near her and Kate Gace was stalking and moving up on the outside, but Simpson's strength prevailed as it so often does in the last 100.
Simpson FTW.
