USA National Championships

It's not every year that Grandmas Marathon weekend passes and who won the big race takes a back burner to who won a half marathon race.  This was no regular year however with the half marathon USA National Championships in town.  Oh, did I mention that hometown Olympic athlete Kara Goucher returned to set a course record and win the women's USA National Championships in the city she grew up in?

It was a great story before Saturday.  Elite athlete Kara Goucher returns home to Duluth to run for the first time in Grandmas Marathon weekend.  When the women's USA Half Marathon Championships was over, that great story became storybook perfect.
