Scaroni previously won the AJC Peachtree Road Race in 2018.

She chalked up her victory to her preparation, competing in a race every weekend for the last six weeks.

"I know this course, I've done three 10Ks this month and just kind of feel in the mindset of pacing a 10K," she said

She called it a "perfect day for me."
