See text above table concerning the starting error by meet officials (girls in the outside starting box ran an extra 15 meters). In the fast division, Lauren Heron (FM) got out far behind due to the starting error ... by 600m she worked her way into 3rd place (passing many runners on the outside adding extra distance), but a 10m gap still existed between her and leaders Alexis Lake and Megan Olds. Heron made a great effort in the final 400m, but the initial handicap was too much to overcome.  But do not take anything away from winner Alexis Lake ... she was very strong in the final 200m and was widen her lead impressively. I think an even-up race between Lake and Heron would have been close, but beating Lake on this particular day would have been difficult.

First division: 200m (34.8), 400m (1:11.3), 600m (1:49.3), 800m (2:28.6)
