Team Colorado men after absorbing all the info at this morning's Bolder-Boulder technical meeting: (l to r) Kenyon Neuman, Jeremy Freed, Patrick Rizzo
Three Boulder Wave athletes are set to race tomorrow’s Bolder-Boulder 10K International Team Challenge as members of the men’s and women’s Colorado teams. Patrick Rizzo (Mizuno) and Kenyon Neuman (Nike) will be joined by 2011 Bolder Boulder citizens’ champ Jeremy Freed on the men’s Team Colorado. Last Sunday, Patrick set a course record at the Colfax Half-Marathon and last month he was the pacemaker for the men’s 2:11 group at the Virgin London Marathon, and says he and his teammates are ready to move Team Colorado up a place from last year’s 3rd place team finish behind Team USA. Kenyon is focusing on his track running this Spring, and will go after the 13:33.00 US National Championships “A” qualifying standard at the Portland Track Festival on June 9th.

On the women’s side, Adriana Nelson (ASICS) will be joined on the women’s Team Colorado by 2006 Bolder Boulder champion Sara Slattery and Wendy Thomas. As is Kenyon, Adriana is focusing on qualifying for the USA national track championships. At the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational last month, Adriana ran a new 10,000m PB, and just missed the 10,000m automatic “A” qualifying standard of 32:45.00 by three seconds. She will be running the 10,000m at the Portland meet on June 9th.
Patrick, Kenyon, and Adriana are all coached by Brad Hudson.
