Melissa Bishop ended her Olympic prep on a high note, winning her final 800 metre race before Rio at the TrackTown Summer series in Eugene, Ore. on Friday.
Bishop fended off Americans Brenda Martinez and Shannon Rowbury for the win in a photo finish final push.
Bishop finished with a time of one minute 59.74 seconds, just ahead of Martinez who finished second with a time of 1:59.82 and Rowbury at 1:59.94.
The time isn't a personal best, which she set back on July 15 at the TrackTown Classic finishing the race in 1:57.43.
Still, the time is elite and Bishop seems to be in great form heading into the Olympics.
