Elizabeth Gail Wilson was the early leader, aggressively running the final turn ahead of Renee Henderson onto the home stretch. Henderson looked spent and started to drop back. Sarah Louise Read Cayton was not too far behind Wilson and moved into another gear that Wilson was unable to match. Clayton continued on to gold. From far back, Virginia Corinne Mitchell matched her British teammate's speed on the straight, sprinting past Henderson and Wilson for a distant, but solid silver.
