Kastor, Slattery to face-off at U.S.A. XC Championships

It’s showdown time! Top runners Sara Slattery and Deena Kastor are set to face-off on February 10th at the U.S.A. Cross Country Championships in Boulder, CO.
Kastor vs. Slattery is sure to add even more excitement to the myriad of other, intensely competitive battles at this year’s XC Champs.
Can’t make it to Boulder, but want to stay on top of the action? No problem! The Final Sprint will be there; reporting LIVE from the race course at the Flatirons Gold Course!
Slattery and Kastor both have a history of strong performances and this race may come down to the wire if they both come out in top form. Last year, Slattery won the highly competitive Bolder Boulder 10K, finished second in the U.S. 10,000 meter track championships and ran a personal best 5,000 meters (00:15:08) in Paris.
Deena Kastor, an 8-time NCAA All-American, won the bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and more recently, the 2006 Flora London Marathon. Kastor is also a three-time Bolder champion.
However, there is no guarantee that the championship will go to either Kastor or Slattery. They will also have to fend off challenges from a very talented field of runners that includes Shayne Culpepper, Carrie Messner, and Elva Dryer.
