Summary

In wet conditions, Shaunae Miller-Uibo took an early lead, which she maintained coming onto the home stretch, with Allyson Felix in second and Phyllis Francis and Salwa Eid Naser gaining on both of them.[2] Miller-Uibo stumbled and slowed to a jog, being passed by Francis, Felix, and Nasser. Francis continued on to win while Nasser, breaking her own national record, dipped past Felix on the line.[3][4]
