Ali makes the sprint final!

Mixed results this morning in the sprint qual, with an awesome run by Ali, 3rd in her heat, and a oh-so-close and heartbreaking 16th place/5 seconds out of qualifying for Sam. The general consensus from all the runners is that today speed was the name of the game. The courses weren't too tricky and the running was fast, and it was tough to qualify.

The women's Final starts at 16:01, with live streaming and gps at the WOC Live Center.
