Hannah's time of 40:16 blows away the competition
Where will Hanna's improvement stop? Hopefully no
time soon.

Jesse Mathews
Runs Leadville Half-Marathon
Jesse is evolving into a running machine! He
finished the very tough Leadville Half-Marathon in 14th
place and easily won his age group. The next
closest runner in his age groups was Danny Mathews (his
younger brother) seventeen minutes back.
Jesse ran the high altitude race in two hours and
thirty-nine minutes, only fourteen (14) minutes behind
the overall second place finisher. There's little
if any doubt that Jesse will be ready for the upcoming
cross country season. Great job Jesse!
Hannah Green Continues Her Assault on the
15 - 19 Age Group Records
On Saturday, July 5th, Hannah Green ran the 12K Roundup
run in 56:02. This time was not only good enough
to earn 5th place overall and 1st place in her age group
but also shattered the two year old course record (by 2
minutes and 24 seconds). The old record was held
by 19 year old Maddie McKeever, who was the state mile
and two mile champion while running at Heritage High
School. But Maddie set the course record after her
freshman year at Duke where she is now an All-American
and one of the premier college distance runners.
Maddie is also the one runner who was able to beat Molly
Palmer in the two mile at the 2005 State Track
Championships. Hannah has been shattering course
records which have been set by extremely reputable
runners; first the record of Kirsten Anthony at
Salin' Shoes and now the record held by Maddie McKeever.
Hannah is proving to be one of the truly great Colorado
runners distance runners (of all time). What's
next... can we expect to see her start breaking records
set by Melony Fairchild? Time will tell.
Congratulations Hannah!
Recent grad, Nic Mahoy ran the course in 54 minutes, 37
second to finish 17th overall and 2nd in his age group.
Coach Wade navigated the course in 61 minutes 28 seconds
to get fourth in his age group and 68th among the male
runners. Coach Schliker finished in 66 minutes and
45 seconds for a fifth place in her age group and 25th
among the female finishers.
Angela Vitulli Runs, Wins 5K Race
Running in just her second race in
Germany, but racing at a more familiar distance; Angela
found herself in the lead. Her time of 22:12 was
fast enough to hold on for the victory. Angela
will be in Colorado in two week...just in time to pitch
in and help with the Barr Trail Race Volunteer Aid
Station. Nice job Angela!
Hannah Green Keeps Rolling - Sets New 10K
Personal Record
Hannah Green continues to amaze. Two weeks after
setting an age group record at the Garden of the Gods
race, Hannah duplicated the task at the Salin' Shoes 10K
race. Hannah led the Women's division race until
the last few meters where she surrendered the lead to 28
year old, Tracy Thelen, of Colorado Springs.
Who would have thought that a 17 year old, high school
senior would lead the first 6.1 miles of a prestigious,
thirty year old race like Salin' Shoes. Hannah's second
place finish is truly amazing and vintage Hannah Green.
In the
process she eclipsed (by 50 seconds) a three year old
age group record set by Kirsten Anthony. Kirsten
was a State Champion for Liberty High School in 2004 and
ran her 41:08 time at age 19, following her freshman
year at CSU. Kirsten went on to complete a very
distinguished running career; a career which just
concluded a month ago at the NCAA Regional Track & Field
Championships. Hannah's time of 40:17 is her
personal best by five minutes; but don't be surprised to
see her improve upon this time and dip under forty
minutes in the very near future.
Coronado had several other representatives at today's
Sailin Shoes races. The next best finish came from
Sam Prespritch who finished the 5K in 21:50, 16th in his
age group. Next across the line and and just off
the heels of Sam was Coach Weeks finishing the 5K in
21:54 to finish 3rd in his age group. Rosie
Bradley also ran the 5K, finishing 9th in her age group
with a time of 24:06 and Christy Garrett wasn't far
behind finishing the 5K in 24:40 to finish 13th in the
age group.
Former Coronado coach Elizabeth Watkins ran the 10K
finishing just a couple minutes behind Hannah.
