Hawkins opened fast, covering the first mile in 8:07, her quickest of the day, before settling into a rhythm through the middle miles.

The final mile slowed to 9:17, nudging her overall pace to 8:31 per mile by the finish. The middle stretch, miles two through five, stood out as her most efficient running of the race, holding a tight, even tempo before the late dip. Overall, a well-paced effort with a small opportunity to finish stronger over that last mile.
