While Fratantoni ran her best time on the course, it was not quick enough to catch Olenick. Baker and Mecray tried working off each other's energy to catch Fratantoni, but only succeeded in tieing again. It was a sunny and dry evening with the temperature in the high 70's. For a moment race organizers thought New Zealander Rod Dixon's record as the runner from the farthest away had been tied by Bill Ward of Tokyo, Japan. However upon reflection, the Falmouth Track Club's Official Geographer, Jessica Baker, ruled that Dixon's record was safe, pointing out that Auckland, NZ is 9003 miles from Falmouth and Tokyo is only 6781 miles away.
