This problem would require an extended response worth 4 points. A 4 point response would address all four of the required aspects of the race and correctly applying times and/or distances to the first three aspects, and tells who won. Don't forget to say who won the race either!

The fewer the bulleted items included in your response, the fewer points you will receive for your answer.

Here is a possible 4 point response:

The two racers had 400 m. to go. Pow! They were off. Manuel was ahead of Jesse by about 25 m in the first 1/2 minute. By 45 seconds, Manuel was ahead by about 40 m. Manuel and Jesse were both going at a steady pace. At 1 minute, Manuel started to slow down, giving Jesse a chance to catch up. At 1 1/4 minutes, Jesse did precisely that. She started to catch up with Manuel, who was still declining. Jesse passed Manuel up at 1 minutes 45 seconds. Jesse won with a time of 1 minutes and 50 seconds. Manuel came behind with a time of 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Congratulations, Jesse!

Here is a possible 2 point response:

The race is on between Jesse and Manuel. At one minute Manuel was in the lead at 250 meters and shortly behind him was Jesse at 200 meters. That was a quick catch up because at the end of the race Jesse won, and just a few seconds behing was Manuel.

Notice the difference between the two answers? The more complete and specific you are with your answer the more points you will receive.
