By Adam Kopet

Colleen Quigley won the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase Sunday at the ISTAF Berlin, part of the IAAF World Challenge series.

RESULTS

Quigley's winning time, 9:10.27, makes her the third-fastest American of all-time at the distance, behind Emma Coburn and her Bowerman Track Club teammate Courtney Frerichs. Frerichs set the American record earlier this summer, running 9:00.85 in Monaco.

It was a five-second personal best for Quigley, who kicked away over the final lap to win by four seconds over Kenya's Daisy Jepkemei.
