Colorado Men 60-69 Team Take Home USATF XC Silver

171

The Boulder Road Runner Men’s 60-69 team captured the silver medal at the USA Track & Field Cross Country National Championships on February 6. Held at the Rivers Edge Golf Course in Bend, Oregon, the challenging 8k course featured a series of four loops on a challenging steep uphill and downhill course still a bit soggy from recently melted snow. The team, composed of Devin Croft, Heath Hibbard, Stephen Parker and Bruce Kirschner, had just come off their 2015 USATF National Masters Grand Prix Championship win. They were missing top players John Victoria and Doug Bell, who had recently incurred injuries and were saving themselves for the next USATF Masters National Championship in Brea, California the end of February.  But the team managed to grab silver, only 2 points behind the Cal Coast Track Club of Southern California. Hibbard finished in third place overall in 34:50.
