Collins, Garrison claim overall age group titles in Portland
HAGG LAKE, Ore. (June 30, 2007) -- Ben Collins (Lake Forest Park, Wash.) and Jennifer Garrison (Naperville, Ill.) topped all competitors by earning the overall male and female titles at the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championship at Henry Hagg Lake outside Portland, Ore., on Saturday.
Garrison, 29, defended her title from a year ago, while Collins, 24, improved on his second-place finish from 2006 in Kansas City, Mo.
The pair was also among 27 athletes to win national titles in their age groups after completing the 1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run event.
More than 1,100 competitors -- representing 48 states -- took part in the race, which served as a qualifier for the 2007 and 2008 World Championships. The top-16 athletes in each age group earned a spot on Team USA at this fall's ITU World Championship in Hamburg, Germany and the top-8 in each group also qualified for the 2008 World Championship in Vancouver, Canada.
