Minnesota Multisport Awards: The MMA Selection Committee announces its initial four official nominees for Female Performance of the Year:

* CLAIRE BOOTSMA's course record at Maple Grove Olympic. (Claire beat fellow TOY nominees Cathy Yndestad and Becky Youngberg in this race. Adding significance was the fact that it was the first time since August of 2006 that a Minnesota woman had beaten CY, a four-time TOY who was honored as Minnesota's Athlete of the Decade last November, in a triathlon.)

* CLAIRE BOOTSMA's course record at Peregrine Charities Olympic. (Frigid conditions--40-45 degrees--resulted in protracted transitions, yet Claire posted a 2:10:02, a 1:54 improvement on the...

event's previous course record. Her margin of victory was 5:07! - Photo Below- Claire at Gear West Du.)
