Photo gallery of XC nationals: Masters get primacy
Masters men’s winner Sean Wade, women’s champ Jody Hawkins and a cast of hundreds are featured in my photo gallery of last Saturday’s USA national cross country championships in San Diego, just 20 minutes from my home. I also got lotsa shots of women’s open winner Shalane Flanagan and men’s victor Dathan Ritzenhein, who qualified for the American team going to the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in late March in Edinburgh, Scotland. And I shot masters legends Kathy Martin and Gerry Davidson, who at 86 was the oldest runner at nationals. The opening shots of Nolan Shaheed are bittersweet, however. He drove down from Pasadena only to drop out after 50 yards. He had tweaked his hamstring the previous week running a 400 at an all-comers meet. I tell other stories about XC nationals on my Masters Athlete blog, which will be posted sometime today.

Here’s hoping Nolan a fast recovery, I don’t think an Indoor Nationals can be done without him….
