Sara Hall won the women’s USA Cross Country Championships in St. Louis just moments ago.
Sara beat Molly Huddle in a finish so close that the winner wasn’t known until several minutes after the race. The judges finally decided that Hall had won the race by a nose.
Some on Twitter were saying that Huddle crossed the timing mat first but that Hall’s lean got her across the tape first. Sounds like a Hollywood ending.
Sara is the wife of American marathoner Ryan Hall.
