Jen Rhines was a late addition to the 5000 tonight in Paris. The race went extremely fast, with Ethiopia's Meseret Defar winning in a 2011 world low 14:29.52. USA's Shalane Flanagan came 4th in a fast 14:45.20 (a mere .44 seconds off the American Record held by Molly Huddle). Jen Rhines, who was 3rd in the 10,000 and 4th over 5000 meters at the USA Championships, finished 12th, in 15:30.97 (about 12 seconds slower than her time at the USA Championships two weeks ago). Jen will represent the USA in the 10,000 at the World Championships later this summer.
