Boulder's Nan Kennard, a former All-American at BYU who has risen from elite Coloradan to elite at the national level, established herself as Colorado's fastest female on the roads. She finished 3rd in 1:12:03, picking up $4,000. LetsRun is calling her a "surprise third," but they apparently over-looked her 2010 3rd place finish at the US 20K championships and a 3rd place finish at the 2010 Club XC Championships.

Just two spots behind in 5th, BRC's Tera Moody ran 1:12:30, a PR, and picked up $1,500. Alamosa's Zoila Gomez was 16th in 1:16:24.
Boulder's Danielle Quatrochi was 33rd in 1:21:47.

Deeper results aren't yet available, but are sure to include more Colorado runners.
For the men, Mo Trafeh, fresh off a stint of training in Morocco, out-kicked Ryan Hall for the win, 1:02:17 to 1:02:20. While I didn't think that Hall would win (and dumprunner owes me $5 as a result), I'm surpised that Trafeh took the win.
Boulder's Jorge Torres was first Coloradan, finishing 8th in 1:04:18. Larimer Square called that one.
Behind Torres, Fort Collins' Michael Chavez clocked a trials qualifier in 1:04:49, the only other Colorado resident to dip under the necessary 1:05 mark - showing that the half marathon qualifying time is tougher than the 2:19 marathon mark.
Deeper results show Gunnison's Josh Eberly 15th in 1:05:33, Boulder's Kenyon Neuman 16th in 1:05:36, Boulder's Tyler McCandless 18th in 1:05:38, and Boulder's Pat Rizzo 20th in 1:06:07.
Trent Briney, who I believe ran at UCCS, was 25th in 1:06:31. Jason Finch was 26th in 1:06:43, but this appears to be Jason Finch from Wisconsin and not Denver's Jason Finch. Boudler's Austin Baillie was 28th in 1:06:59. Kennth Foster of the US Army Team in Colorado Springs was 44th in 1:09:01. Longmont's Bobby Reyes was 48th in 1:10:59.
Deeper results aren't yet available, but are sure to include more Coloradans. Boulder's Brent Vaughn was a disappointing DNF.
