There is sadly no live stream for the US Sprint Nationals but the link below will have start list and results for all races.

I will be racing MK1 Senior (18+).
Elena will be racing WK1 Senior (18+) and WK2 Senior (18+).

I have my 1000 heat this morning and my 5k final this afternoon.

Thanks for all your support getting us where we are!

Just fantastic. When Clint Robinson talked to me about international sprint, he tried to explain how well developed Eastern Europe programs were and how hard Western Country's athletes have to work. Not just physically, but in all the personal initiative work. We have been blessed with extraordinary coaches and volunteers. I'm humbled to see the parents and supporters working events and working all the workouts. On top of this put the ingenuity and drive of our local athletes. What a blast to see these stories unfold.
