Moline's time was the seventh-best time of the three semi-finals heats of eight runners each. Though it's not an exact science of measuring how well she'll do in the final -- when everyone's going out 110 percent -- five runners ran faster times in the semi-final round than Moline's PR that she set on Sunday afternoon in the preliminaries.
She could be a long-shot, but Moline appears to be peaking at the right time to be in the conversation.
