13th lady could be Katy Jermann (Moen), 27yo and ranked 132. Had a magnificent 2019, winning the half in Duluth in her PB of 70.27 in June. Third in October in the ten mile US Champs in 53.44; the previous month second in the 20k US Champs in 68.39; and back in May fifth in the US half Champs in 72.11. Ran the classic distance here last year: ninth in 2.33.41.
Strangely, Bethany Sachtleben was 17 sec behind Katy both in Duluth and the US half Champs. As well last year Bethany, also 27yo but ranked 22 places lower, was second in the 15k US Champs in 51.08. Won silver representing her country in the marathon at the Pan American Games in Lima in July in 2.31.20. If she finishes close to Katy’s time here, she should finish 14th.
