MMA Nominees - Results were scrutinized and five first-year multisporters * were perceived by the nine-member MMA Selection Committee as being sufficiently competitive with their veteran elite peers to warrant Rookie of the Year consideration. Each candidate needed to turn in at least three "competitive" efforts, i.e. wherein they demonstrated "elite" potential, and to have performed with reasonable consistency.

Four of those five candidates are this year's official ROY nominees. With their 2011 results, they are (in alphabetical order):...

Seriously Cool Stuff....

swim* BOUS STUFF - When Patrick Parish left T2 on Saturday at the 7th annual Best of the US National Championship in Gulf Shores, AL, which incidentally is a totally bitchin' place, he was in 4th place, exactly three minutes behind the leader, Louisiana's Ben Hall, and 2:08 behind eventual winner and Minnesota teammate Matthew Payne. Patrick then laid down a brilliant 33:20 10K split, which allowed him to overtake National Classers Hall, James Haycraft (NC) and Colin Riley (FL) and come within 12 seconds of catching Payne. The Minnesotans were the stars of the show, each blowing the doors off the previous race record (2:02:23) and setting Olympic distances PRs: 1:52:45 & 1:52:57.

The win was the 16th of Payne's young career and 5th of the 2011 season. Matt's race report will post tomorrow.
