Its not like much happens in a distance race. It's not too hard to do. I didn't even watch the women's races. Steve Soprano did these recaps.
Heat 4
Ajee Wilson went out hard right from the gun, but settled and let the pack bunch up right on her at the 200 mark. Wilson lead through a 62.xx first lap with Laura Roesler needing to do some work back in 5th. With 200m to go everyone was still bunched up together, but Wilson started pulling away and Roesler moved around the bunch to follow. Wilson won the heat in 2:02.84 with Roesler 2nd (2:02.xx) and NJ-NY TC’s Ce’aira Brown 3rd.
