Looks like Team USA finished third in the women's competition behind Kenya and Ethiopia. Shalane Flanagan was the top American finisher in third. Blake finished 19th, in 26 minutes and 30 seconds, 1:32 behind the winner. U.S. runners finished 17th and 18th as well, suggesting they were sticking together.

After Blake Russell competed for the U.S. in 2008 Beijing Olympics her life changed drastically. In 2009, she gave birth to Quin and the already active Russell household in Pacific Grove turned it up a notch. Russell is now back in training, hoping to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics while making an Olympian effort to be a good wife and mother.
