"I liked the course and I felt good running through the race," said Leitich. "I wanted to be aggressive, mentally tough. I wanted to make my coaches proud because they believed I would do great this weekend."
Following close behind Leitich were teammates, Ester Mueller (18:46.11), Natalie Ball (18:58.01), Jennifer Buettner (19:15.13) and Morgan Spurlock (20:04.16).
