From the gun it was all business for Olympian Kim Conley, who ran away with the victory Sunday night at the inaugural Pacific 10000m Pursuit in a solo effort win, 17 second below the Olympic standard.

The race played to Conley's advantage as she was paced perfectly by NorCal Distance teammates Lianne Farber and Alycia Cridebring to a winning time of 31:58 on her home track at Hornet Stadium. At 3K, Conley was followed closely by Sara Hall, Katie Matthews and Emma Bates, but once the pacers fell off, it was all Conley, who ran as if she was executing a normal running workout. 

Perhaps the most exciting part of the race was the battle between Chelsea (Reilly) Sodaro and Rachelle Kanuho, who stayed back for the first half the race and ran controlled in the front of the chase pack.

In her first track 10K ever, Sodaro finished second in 32:05 and Kanuho finished third in 32:08, both under the Olympic qualifying standard of 32:15.

Battling back from injury, Jordan Hasay finished eighth in 32:46, two spots behind Hall who finished sixth in 32:35.

In the men's race, Ben Blankenship, Erik Olson and Sean Quigley traded leading duties after pacer Lukas Verzbicas dropped off. Around the 8K mark, Blankenship stepped off the track.

Things got interesting as Venezuela's Marvin Blanco stole the show. After sitting behind Olson and Quigley, who exchanged the lead for most of the race, Blanco took over with 800m to go to take home the victory in a new Venezulean national record of 28:31.

Olson looked like he may have the chance to run down Blanco down the homestretch, but didn't quite have enough to overtake the South American standout. He finished second in a new personal best of 28:32, 37 seconds faster than his previous time. Quigley placed third in 28:50.
