Going largely unchallenged in the regular collegiate season, the Wolf Pack’s Hannah Moore was seeded to take it all, but Chile’s Kristel Kobrich promised a competitive race. Despite the nature of the event, spectators were engaged in each of the 1500 yards that seemed to jumpstart the competitive long-course season, as athletes set Bloomington aflame on Day 1.

Moore refused to disappoint, as she split a near-perfect race to crash the pads with a 16:11.42. Under three seconds off her seed time, Moore seized first with ease, coming home the last 100 in a 1:03.64 to widen the gap between herself and Kobrich.

After Moore began to manhandle the field, Kobrich was forced to turn her attention to the adjacent lane, as Becca Mann stayed on her hip in a decided effort to battle for second. The last lap appeared more like a sprint race, as the women went stroke for stroke to the wall. Kobrich managed to mirror the psych sheet and cinch second with a time of 16:23.19, edging out Mann’s 16:25.49.

Sierra Schmidt brought in the next wave, posting a 16:33.67 to nab fourth ahead of Cassy Jernberg (16:38.48). Cierra Runge posted a time well under the Trials cut, as she and Kaitlyn Sims gassed the last 50 to post times of 16:46.12 and 16:46.35, respectively. Hayley Pike rounded out the top eight with a time of 16:57.07, the first woman outside the 16:49.19 Trials cutoff.
