The answer was no; the highest finishers were Gabrielle Anderson in the 1500 and Emily Brown in the 10k. Both placed eleventh. Seventeen players answered correctly this week.

In the overall standings, the top five contestants all answered correctly, leaving the leaders unchanged. The winner for the month of June was leader Lori Anne Peterson with five points. She answered correctly every week and earned a bonus point. The only other player to answer correctly every week was Chris Rivers. He is now approaching Joe Dimaggio/Edwin Moses territory as he is a perfect sixteen for sixteen on the year.
