Gorriaran placed 12th in the event at the Boston University “Last Chance Invitational” — beating out not high school runners, but post-collegiate club runners as well as collegiate athletes.
The event was won by Quebec University medical student Maite Bouchard in 2:00.93.
The top ten finishers were less than three seconds apart.
