Coburn's place isn't showing being updated on the meet website.
Did she DNS?
I'm happy to see that Samba is the real deal. Wow 47,48
No, she's sitting 3rd currently. Rabbit stepped off at 3:01 for first 1k. Look like it slowed a tad now.
Coburn to the lead with 2 to go! 4 Africans right behind her.
Coburn on the rail leading with 500 to go
Hit the bell at 7:57!
Coburn falls off water
Coburn was in it, but that was painful
4th place with a fall on the water jump last lap.
Just wow...I feel bad for Coburn. Just slipped when sandwiched between the two Kenyans. She went for it though.
The woman in 3rd clearly stepped inside off the last bend. Should be a DQ
Coburn stumbled. Announcers says "overstride on landing."
Still 9:08

Did you know...that other than at the Commonwealth Games and Shanghai, the fastest steeple by a woman this year is ALLIE OSTRANDER. 9:38 at Stanford.
but anyway, Chepkoech will probably win. Unsure what pace they're trying for, but I suspect 9:05ish wins.
9:04.96
I'm a genius, except at picking the winner lol.
Kiyeng FTW, the Chepsol, Jeruto, Coburn, Chepkoech. Praught 9:19, 0.04 off her PB
Praught 9:19.33, just .04 off her PB.

Disappointing . We all like a legitimately good race. Glad Kiyeng won because no one was giving her a chance. She didn’t even warrant a mention at the start line.
I went to youtube and the stream came right up.
What a nice race. Too bad Coburn fell.
She pushed off the barrier way too hard, and almost cleared the water but fell down.

Kinyamal, Rotich, Aman, McBride, Bett, Kitlit Kszczot, Tuka
Great season opener for Coburn despite the fall. 9:08.13 is her best season opener ever.
Her previous best season opener came in 2016 when she opened at 9:10.76
