Kailub Russell Wins the 2nd Annual Parts Unlimited Mou
MASONTOWN, W. Va. (June 16, 2013) - Heavy rainfall
leading up to Sunday's Parts Unlimited Mountaineer Run
GNCC made for slippery track conditions at Round 8 of
the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series. However, despite the difficult terrain conditions, the 1 p.m. afternoon race boasted some of the most exciting race action
of the 2013 season. Kailub Russell dominated the threehour competition, capturing his second-straight victory of
the season, where he closed the gap to less than ten points
behind Charlie Mullins in the National Championship
standings. In the XC2 Pro Lites class, defending champion
Jason Thomas used his veteran knowledge to best his
rookie competition as he secured his first win of the season.
