Vasque athlete and highly recognized member in the trail running community, Krissy Moehl, gave a suberbly impressive show at the Leona Divide 50 Mile Race on April 18th. Krissy earned the 1st place female standing with a new course record of 7:25:37 and 3rd place overall!

Krissy said of the race:

"Having run this race in 2006 and 2007 I had an idea of time splits for the aid stations along way and was curious to see how this year’s route changes affected the overall times.  I think Melissa and I were both surprised when I made it through the first station five minutes faster and when I saw her again at the fifth and was 18 minutes ahead, the new section of trail felt faster and I kept my eye on the previous course record. Leona Divide was a great test of this year’s training, there are many more miles and hours to log before the next one, and I look forward to them."
