Colorado Athletes Also Shine at the 5150 U.S. Championship
September 4, 2011 (Des Moines, IA) – Boulder’s Greg Bennett captured the richest prize in triathlon with a win in the Hy-Vee Elite World Cup, the final in the new 5150 Olympic-distance national series. The $151,500 first prize was topped off with several thousand dollars in bonuses. Hunter Kemper (Colorado Springs) put in a hard charge at the finish, but couldn’t catch Bennett. The Colorado pro contingent was well represented with Matt Reed coming in at ninth, Andy Potts at eleventh, and Timothy O’Donnell at thirteenth.
In the women’s elite race Sarah Haskins (Colorado Springs) finished third and Laura Bennett (Boulder) fifth. The race was also the U.S. Championship final for the age group and elite divisions in the 5150 Series (which includes the Boulder Peak race).
