    Sorry. You're right. I typed the time of 4th place finisher instead of Bird, who finished 3rd and also typed 8 minutes instead of 9. I must been thinking of the men's times

    No problem. For a while there, I thought the women were now running faster times in the event than our national record in the steeplechase.
