Emily Sisson won the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials 10,000m on Saturday, 483 days after starting the marathon trials as favorite and dropping out by mile 22.
Sisson took the lead in the fifth lap of the 25-lap race, pushed the pace and dropped the hammer late. She won in 31:03.82, an Olympic Trials record in 85-degree heat. She distanced second place Karissa Schweizer by 12.7 seconds. Alicia Monson rounded out the three-woman team.
Sisson and Monson made their first Olympic team. Schweizer also finished second in the 10,000m earlier at Trials.
