Drossin Leads a U.S. Revival at Bolder Boulder
"The U.S. is back on track," said Peter De La Cerda, member of the U.S. Bolder Boulder team. "Don't ever say it's dead."
Never dead, but now awakened from a slumber, the performances by both the US men and women's elite teams at this year's Bolder Boulder provided a big shot in the arm to distance running in this country. Buoyed by Deena Drossin's win in the women's race, both squads ran to third place finishes in the International Team Challenge. The previous bests were sixth for the women and seventh for the men.
