Bolden Wins Applied Silicon Valley Turkey Trot/Seagate Elite 5K
11.29.2005 | Men's Basketball, Cross Country (M) OLD
Nov. 29, 2005
AMES, Iowa - Blake Bolden, a 26-year-old assistant track and cross country coach at Iowa State University and recent standout at Missouri State University, surprised the talented men's field in the inaugural Applied Materials Silicon Valley Sports Elite 5K cross country race Thanksgiving Day. Bolden made a bold move to the front with less than a mile remaining. He held his lead to the finish and crossed in 14:16, a clock-tick ahead of up-and-comer Steve Sundell. Jonathon Riley, a 2004 U.S. Olympian at 5,000 meters and Olympic Trials runner-up, was third in 14:19.
Bolden displayed remarkable confidence over the criterium-style course as crowds of recreational runners, pumped up following their separate Applied Materials Open/Age-Group 5K and 10K runs, looked on. Bolden won a $2,500 portion of the $20,000 prize purse.
"I saw the co-leaders [Sundell and Riley] back off a stride, so I stepped right between them and tried not to look back," Bolden said. "I knew that I could run with anyone in the field over a mile distance, so I was confident that I could go from there. I knew I belonged."
Bolden, a five-time Missouri Valley Conference champion at Missouri State, is an Osceloa, Iowa native and former Iowa prep 1,600-meter champio
The event raised over $125,000 for three local charity organizations: the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank, and the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County.
