By the time the runners hit the three mile point, Baker had pulled ahead of Stockard and held a two second lead over four runners. Those runners, who included McArdle and Johnson, would eventually pull even with Baker. Johnson made his move approximately 1000 yards before the finish line, surging in front of McArdle and Baker, to garner the first place finish...
