The US-All Stars finished just ahead of the NJ/NY Blue team (7:13.22). Coming in third was the Brooks Beast team in 7:18.52.

Jenny Simpson didn't have the day she planned on in the 2 Mile. Simpson miscounted her laps and passed Sally Kipyego who was leading the race. Simpson thought she finished and stopped. Simpson saw Kigyego continuing to run, so Simpson started running again. Kigyego won the race in 9:21.04, Simpson was second in 9:26.19. Simpson's time put her three seconds off the American 2 Mile record. Placing in third was Jordan Hasay in 9:36.0.
