Houlihan closed in 30.13 and no one had any response. Cory McGee went first, but couldn't respond when houlihan went by. She was barely holding on to 2nd at the end (second year straight as the runner-up).
Lipari looked like she was going to run terrible, but came back the last 150 to get 4th.
Stephanie Brown was never really in it and looked like she tried to go into lane 4 with 400 to go to move up, but couldn't get around anyone.
