Tirzah Hansen led the Pacers with a time of 26:21.3 compared to 28:02 in Greensboro and she finished 47th overall.  Right behind her was Charity Young at 28:06.7, which was nearly two minutes better than her time last week. Christina Hawes showed the most improvement on the team, as her 33:11.7 time was 2:06 better than a week ago.
