Burlington, VT - Aug. 19 - Patrick Parish followed up his 6th-place overall finish at AG Olympic Nationals on Saturday, with a decisive victory at the USAT Sprint National Championships yesterday. PP also won this title in 2010.

With the Hy-Vee 5150 National Champs just two weeks off, Parish has positioned himself as a viable podium prospect. In 12 starts this season, Patrick has amassed 7 wins, TWO for national titles (Duathlon & Sprint). His 6th on Saturday was his only non-podium effort of the season, albeit against the deepest amateur field of the year. He earned USAT Athlete of the Year Honorable Mention in 2010, and could duplicate that feat this season. RESULTS
