second PB time of 8:28.54 was enough to win the race with Amanda
Pascoe second and Janelle Atkinson third.In

a comfortable qualifying time of 4:13.19 saw her through to the
final in first place. In the final Becky produced another lifetime
best time of 4:09.49 to come home two seconds ahead of Australia's
Elka Graham with Janelle
Atkinson from Jamaica in third place.
