Congratulations to Coach Michelle LeBlanc on her FIRST place finish in the elite amature AG at the Hy-Vee 5150 Championships!! After coming out 15th in the swim, 23:08 she picked off the leaders to surpsass Christina Jackson for the lead during the bike portion. Michelle flew to a 1:02:00 on the bike and a tremendously speedy 39:28 on the run for the push to victory crossing the finish at 2:07:17. In addition to her hardware and prize purse money, Michelle scored a CAR... a Mini Cooper to be exact! Well done and fantastic racing, Coach. Next up for Michelle is the Kona, World Championships.

Kudos to Coach Sarah Gray as well! In a VERY tough field of competitors and a late start time, Sarah pushed through to the finish in 2:20:52. Despite hot conditions Sarah surged the swim in 21:57, biked 1:10:40 and gutted out a 46:16 run. What determination and perseverance! Pro till the end! Great job, Sarah! Congratulations.
