As the event’s top female finisher, Huddle not only won the race, but her combined points total also earned her the USA Racing Circuit title.

“It was a great morning to run fast,” said Huddle. “I think Shalane [Flanagan] and I wanted to take advantage of a really fast course and really fast weather conditions. We both knew what the American record pace was and Shalane initiated the idea (to go for the record) and that’s just how things shook out in the end.”

Flanagan (Portland, Ore.) and Huddle broke away from the pack in the opening mile to split 5:05 with an 11 second lead. The two ran neck-and-neck with Flanagan moving slightly ahead to split 5 km in 15:42 as Huddle remained very close in stride.

“Deena (Kastor) set the record, so it’s pretty amazing when you put it in that perspective. Shalane did a lot of leading throughout the first five miles. It was a good time for both of us, and it’s definitely something to take confidence from and a good way to cap off the season.

Huddle’s finish at the .US Championships increased her USARC points tally to 60, which was enough for the 2013 USARC title.

“It was a great event, and I would love to see more people show up from the running community. A fast course is fun for both elite athletes and the everyday runner.”

Huddle was previously named USATF Athlete of the Week, Sept. 25, 2013, after her win at the USA 5 km Championships in Providence, R.I.

Now in its 12th year, USATF’s Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on usatf.org. Selections are based on top performances and results from the previous week.

A moment of silence was held at the start of today's races, in honor of the victims in Boston. In special tribute, hundreds of blue and yellow balloons (the signature colors of the storied Boston Marathon) lined the finish line, and many of the runners wore blue and yellow ribbons on their race bibs.

In the miniMarathon, Kenyan Pius Nyantika of Louisville, KY won the men's race with a time of 1 hour, 3 minutes, 16 seconds, while Ethiopian Etaferahu Temesgen of Silver Spring, MD was the women's champion in 1:15:37.

The Marathon winners were Ethiopian Getachew Asfaw (2:19:50) and Louisville's Meghan Shagena (2:58:45).

Since 1956, the Derby Festival has worked to bring the community together in celebration. The Festival is an independent community organization supported by 4,000 volunteers, 400 businesses and civic groups, Pegasus Pin sponsorships and event participation. This involvement has made the Festival the largest single attended event in Kentucky and one of the leading community celebrations in the world.]]>

True edged his competitor Andrew Bumbalough by one-tenth of a second to take the win in 13:52.0. This was the second consecutive win for true at the 5 km distance, making him the first man to win repeat national titles at the distance since Odis Sanders in 1981.

“With how the race played out, I knew it would come down to the kick,” True said. “It was a very smart group all the way through. From racing this course previously, I knew that you don’t really win the race going up the hill and you can actually lose the race going up the hill. The race is really won in the last 40 or 50 meters. I just stayed on Andrew’s [Bumbalough] shoulder going up the hill and was able to have a strong kick at the end.”

True is now a three-time national champion on the roads, with previous wins in 2011 at the 5 km and 10 km distances. Up next for True will be the USA 10 Mile Championships in Minneapolis October 7.

“These road races are a different atmosphere than the typical track race,” True said. “You have a much larger crowd because there are a lot more average joes out there running, and the whole feel and commodore is really nice. You have people of all abilities out there competing, and it is a really festive atmosphere.”

The Bahamas and United States finished 1-2 in the heat in identical times of 2:58.87, the fastest time ever run in the first round of the relay at the Olympic Games.

Without a doubt, it was the fastest time ever run in the Olympics by a team whose leadoff runner broke his leg midway through the race.

Mitchell, 25, was part of the Team USA relay pool after placing fifth in the 400m at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Eugene, Ore. Earlier this week in the Olympic Village, he slipped on a stairway and didn’t think much of it – until Thursday.

“Three days ago I was going up the stairs and I kind of missed one and landed awkwardly,” Mitchell said. “I got treatment and I was fine. I did workouts, and when I warmed up today I felt really well. I felt I could go 44 (seconds)-low. I got out pretty slow, but I picked it up and when I got to the 100-meter mark it felt weird. I was thinking I just didn’t feel right. As soon as I took the first step past the 200-meter mark, I felt it break. I heard it. I even put out a little war cry, but the crowd was so loud you couldn’t hear it. I wanted to just lie down. It felt like somebody literally just snapped my leg in half.

“I knew if I finished strong we could still get it (the baton) around,” he continued. “I saw Josh Mance motioning me in for me to hand it off to him, which lifted me. I didn’t want to let those three guys down, or the team down, so I just ran on it. It hurt so bad. I’m pretty amazed that I still split 45 seconds on a broken leg.”

After the race, Mitchell was taken to the Athlete Village medical area, where his leg was x-rayed and diagnosed by team doctor Bob Adams as a break of his left fibula bone.

“Manteo has become an inspiration and a hero for his teammates,” CEO Max Siegel said. “Without his courage and determination to finish, Team USA would not be at the starting line in the final. The team has rallied around him and we are all looking forward the final days of competition.”]]>

Despite the intentions of anybody else in the elite field, however, once the gun sounded, this race was all about the defending champion. Twelve months previously, she had been aggressive from the opening strides; this time around, she was even more so. As the field charged through the opening uphill 600 meters, Daska was immediately at the forefront, joined only by her compatriots Alemitu Abera and Ashu Kasim, plus Kenya's Genoveva Kigen, Jellilah Tinega and Gesabwa Risper. Nearing the one kilometer mark in Washington Park, that group was down to just Daska, Kigen and Abera, and, by one mile (5:00) the leader was in unquestioned control.

So early in the race, nothing could be set in stone; but, as the defending champ forged onward, the only indication that there might be some question in her mind came from the occasional backward glance over her shoulder.

Leaving the rolling pathways of the Park and turning onto Lake Avenue, Daska, 28, was in total control. Behind her, Kigen and Abera were forced to deal with the challenges of Kasim and Risper, not to mention an emergent phalanx of Americans, fronted by Michelle Frey, Laura Thweatt, Rebecca Donaghue and Lindsey Scherf. Willis was also in the mix; though, for once, she was not the sole Australian, being joined by her compatriot Lara Tamsett.

That battle was for the minor placings, however. At the forefront, Daska was all alone and unchallenged. As she passed two miles (10:01 - a second mile of 5:01), the question began to emerge: could she challenge the blazing fast course record of 15:12, set by Emily Chebet in 2010? On that occasion, Chebet had closed with a lightning fast final kilometer: 2:41. Chebet had also had late race company. Daska was flying solo.

Even so, with 1K remaining, the record was within her grasp. It's a long way home, however; and, with no one to challenge her, even a runner as dominant as Daska sometimes has to concede. Although she blasted the long downhill stretch to the finish line, her finishing time of 15:20, missed the course all-time best by eight seconds. That was hardly cause for disappointment; the re-crowned champion still held a massive 17 second margin over second placed Kasim (15:37), who prevailed in the battle for the minor placings over Abera (15:41).

"Even under these weather conditions, I enjoyed the race and I feel good about it," commented Daska. "I'm very happy to have won for the second year. I did feel confident, but the fans along the course made me even more confident, and that helped me to win. I was most fearful of the other two Ethiopians."

Kasim, who experienced some back pain immediately before the start, had hoped for a different result. "I thought I would catch her," she stated, "but I was a little tired." Among the American hopefuls, Frey fronted one of the finest domestic Freihofer's performances in some years. Her sixth place finish (16:03), led four Americans into the top 11. Last year there were three in 10.

The Masters race among competitors aged 40 and above was a true nail biter. Sheri Piers, 40, coached by Benita Willis and the first placed American overall at this year's Boston Marathon, held a marginal lead for much of the race, though she was shadowed all the way by 41-year-old Dorota Gruca from Poland, a 2008 Olympic marathoner. In the latter stages, however, Gruca's strength told the tale and she crossed the line 10 seconds up, 16:50 to 17:00. Third place went to last year's winner, Lisa Harvey, 42, from Canada (17:22).

"I'm happy I could win," exulted Gruca. "My training has been going very well. I ran a smart race and I was a little careful in the first mile. I'm used to this humidity; I'm training in New Mexico. The girl I ran with [Piers] did a great job."

"Every year at this race, I feel that I've witnessed something special in our city," enthused Race Director George Regan. "All these events have become so dear to the people of Albany, that it's now a part of our culture. Our elite athletes are welcomed so warmly, and they come back again and again. Our race field gets bigger every year and we do all that we came to make everybody know how special they are. And the competition simply gets better and better. This year, the rain made no difference at all. We had a fantastic race, and a fantastic day. It was a great day for Albany."
