Cabada set to defend USA Men’s 25 km title; McGregor leads women’s field

Posted May 8th, 2007 at 12:00 PM by Adam Jacobs

Section: News & Results

Fernando Cabada (Bristol, Va.) returns to the USA 25 km Championships this Saturday in Grand Rapids, Mich. to defend the crown he won last year on his way to a national record, while Katie McGregor (Minneapolis, Minn.) will make her debut at that distance in the women’s race. The USA 25 km Championships will be held in conjunction with the 30th Fifth Third River Bank Run for the 14th time since its inception.

Though Cabada dominated the 2006 field, he will face stiff competition this year from 2005 champion and in-state favorites Brian Sell (Rochester Hills, Mich.) and two-time USA Men’s Half Marathon champion (2003, 2004) Ryan Shay (East Jordan, Mich.).

Sell comes into the 25 km having only raced the USA Half Marathon Championships in January’s Aramco Houston Half Marathon where he finished sixth in 1:03:10. Shay heads into the 25 km gaining momentum as he progresses through the 2007 season after making the U.S. team for the World Cross Country Championships and recently running a personal best of 28:03 for 10,000 meters at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational.
