Terri Turner took out the 800 hard, bringing the field through the first 200 in under 30 seconds. But pre-race favorite Olivia Arizin seized control and tried to run away with the race early on. Turner didn't take the bait and waited behind Arizin a few meters headed into the final 300 meters.
On the final lap, Turner caught her and ran right by her on the final stretch.Turner clocked a 2:08.58, the second fastest time this season in the event (behind only the national record holder, Sammy Watson).
