Race Coverage - Former Infantile Alcoholic, Patrick Parish (photo) posted his 10th victory of the 2010 season this morning at the USAT National Sprint Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Patrick finished a totally respectable 11th overall the day before at AG Nationals (Olympic Distance). PP is one of only two male Minnesotans to record double-digit wins in a single season in at least the last 15 years. (Or ever? Tony Schiller may be a member of the 10+ club. We'll check on this and get back to you.) The other--SURPRISE!--is David Thompson, who won 11 races in 2007.

Parish's 59:06 was the only sub-1-hour clocking of the day. Second placing Craig Robinson of Palto Alto, California turned in a 1:00:56. Robinson finished 31st...

the day before.

The women's National Sprint Champion was Katie June of Roswell, Georgia. RESULTS

PP is one of three National Champion Minnesotans. Matthew Payne and Bob Powers won their respective divisions at AG Nationals yesterday.
