Mile High Multisport would like to congratulate our athletes who received All American status for 2009.
Jeremy Anderson from Chicago highlighted his season by being the 2nd American in his age group at Olympic worlds held in Australia. His time of 2:02 was a personal best. This was Jeremy's third season in a row of achieving All American status.
Coach Sydney Cornell had a banner season with highlights coming at buffalo Springs 70.3 where she won her age group and qualified for the Ironman World Championships. She had a second place age group finsih at Steelhead 70.3, 19th place finish in her first Ironman in Kona and then was 5th overall female and 2nd in her age group at Ironman Arizona.
Julie Thelen Hsu highlighted her year by being the female overall winner at the Rattlesnake Sprint and also had a podium finish at the 5430 sprint. Congratulations Julie!!
Coach Kathy earned her third straight All American honors with podium finishes in every race she entered last year. She started the year at Rage in the Sage by taking 3rd, then won her age group at Loveland, Boulder Peak (by 5 minutes) and Rattlesnake. She ended the year with a second place finsih at the Wild on Windsor race.
Daniel Madruga achieved Honorable Mention status. Considering, Daniel spent the better part of last fall/winter recovering from a serious bike accident, this was a tremendous accomplishment.
In addition to our All Americans, Julia Rossi, and Katey Morris missed Honorable Mention rankings by less than 10 place.
