Saturday, 10 September 2011 14:19

Best of the US National Championship - Matthew Payne of Columbia Heights, and Patrick Parish of Circle Pines went 1-2 this morning at the 7th annual BOUS Champs, which was staged in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Payne covered the flat, fast Olympic-distance courses in a seriously brisk 1:52:45, just 12 seconds ahead of Parish, who had to outrun a passle of dudes. Parish's 10K split was 33:20, which was almost two minutes quicker than the 2nd fastest runner (Payne).

Almost a minute back in 3rd place was three-time BOUS participant, Colin Riley (1:53:52), of Tallahassee, FL.

Payne was 3rd at BOUS '10, which was contested in Mission Viejo, CA....
