into victory.

hung up fractions of 27 and 55.4.
Past the half mile mark of the race,

cover trip.

but her biggest threat had just tipped three wide off of her cover and quickly
grabbed control of the race.
Through the stretch Vy Hanover and Corey Braden
stepped away from the field in a new lifetime best of 1:52.1.
