She told reporters: "I was able to make the move I hoped to make with only two laps to go. I managed to hold off Sarah. I had flashbacks from 2008 running against Sarah (Bowman) and it wasn't a surprise to see her in the lead - she's a great athlete. I could hear (Hall) at the last bend and I thought she'd get me."
