 Gabe Grunewald, who had previously been diagnosed with cancer, won the race by several seconds to take her first national title.A clash between Grunewald and Jordan Hasay (the fourth placer) in the final lap was originally disregarded by the judges.Alberto Salazar, the coach of Hasay and runner-up Shannon Rowbury, filed a protest which was overruled by the track referee, then a subsequent appeal of that decision was again dismissed.
