New registrations have been confirmed for several competitive athletes who are taking in the 2013 Canadian Cross Country Championships since having been reported here last week: Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s, previews.
Four athletes, in particular, will make the men’s senior race even more exciting than it already is expected to be. Kip Kangogo, who finished second at the 2013 GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon on October 13th in 2:15:35 will toe-the-line. Kangogo’s performance in Victoria is the third fastest time for the marathon course and is a new personal best. Kangogo experienced success in cross-country with Lethbridge College and Brigham Young University; he will be a threat for the top-5 and potentially the win.
Three other athletes who are evenly matched will battle it out in the men’s senior race, there are two former University of Victoria athletes Kristopher Swanson – who competed in the 2013 IAAF World Mountain Running Championships – as well as Clifford Childs former team captain are competing. To round out the three Ryan Brockerville of Point Grey Track and Field Club will be racing as well. Childs and Swanson have 10km personal bests of 30:09 and 30:39, respectively. While Brockerville’s 5,000-metre personal best is 14:49 to Childs’ 14:19 and Swanson’s 15:23. Meanwhile, Kangogo has run as fast as 28:10 for 10km.
Jeremiah Ziak’s decision to run is interesting, as he has run nearly as fast as any of the competitors. At 37-years-of-age, he is not too old to do it again, but his personal bests are aging. He has run the 10,000-metres in 29:25 and the 5,000-metres in 13:56:12. Likewise, Vancouver’s Richard Mosley owns a few solid, but aging personal bests including having run 29:36.52 for 10000m and owns a 14:04.72 5000m best time. Aaron Hendrikx is another athlete who has a competitive 5000m best which is 14:11.16. The field from 10th to 20th will likely finish very close together.
Jessica O’Connell is a competitive addition to the field, with her new personal best this year over 5000m, which is 15:50.65. She also won a couple of Saucony Alberta Cross Country series races this year.
Can a professional triathlete compete with runners? Not so far, however, Lisa Mensink will compete at nationals. Her personal bests are difficult to source, but she has run the Sun Run in 34:45 – not a top-5 type performance, she may get into the top-15 on November 30th.
Several former and current University of Victoria Vike athletes in both the men’s and women’s races are signed up. This may be an opportunity to finish the 2013 cross-country season on a high note as both teams did not perform to expectations at the 2013 CIS Cross Country Championships – although they both did repeat as Canada West champs.
Earlier this week it was reported that Lanni Marchant is going to compete in the women’s senior race. She is registered however, she told Athletics Illustrated, “I am very sure I am not going to compete. My season has to end eventually.” Marchant is competing at the 2013 Chiba Ekiden in Chiba, Japan this Saturday.
