Julie Scully clocked in at 11:07.40 to finish in 17th place. "I felt Julie ran one of her better races so far," Jones said. "She had a good effort and was able to run down a number of competitors."

Angie Gonzales right on her heels in 18th place with a time of 11:14.80. "Angie has come a long way," Jones said. "She's running a lot better and recorded a personal best in today's race."

Iris Martinez and Imani Heath crossed the finish line at the exact same time in 12:11.10. The pair claimed 25th and 26th place, respectively. 

"We did a good job staying close to a strong Stanislaus team," Jones said. "The hard workouts resulted in a good effort today. I'm extremely proud of our women."
