Spence outraced a field of 363 runners, most of whom compete on the Division I level, in winning the Paul Short Invitational hosted by Lehigh University. Her time of 19:58 was two seconds ahead of Lindsay Carson of Guelph and nearly matched her time of 19:57 of a year ago. Last year's effort is the fastest recorded by a Division II athlete at the event. Spence finished 1:02 ahead of teammate Mary Dell, who placed 24th overall, and was the next highest Division II runner.
