"I'm so happy to have won alongside Emma. She ran an amazing race to get the championship record. I'm just going to enjoy the moment with her," Frerichs said. "I feel like I am in a dream. This is just unreal, it has to be. I didn't expect a medal at halfway. Myself and Emma just worked hard and dealt with whatever tactics the African athletes threw at us. We just wanted to show the American women are stepping up over the discipline as well."

The bronze medal went to Jepkemoi with a clocking of 9:04.03.

"I tried to stay at the front but they had too much over the last water jump. They had a good race. I tried to react but I could not hang on. I'm pleased to medal," said the Kenyan, who was the silver medalist in Rio last August.

Jepkemoi's countrywoman Celliphine Chepteek Chespol clocked a world under-20 record of 9:15.04 to finish sixth.
