Sauro Wins U18 Mountain Running Championships

This morning (6/26) in Saluzzo, Italy, Williamstown's Alyssa Sauro scored the win in the International U18 Mountain Running Championships. She joins a pretty short list of WV athletes to compete in the Mountain Running Championships. From memory, Maria Dalzot (Morgantown), Alex Dent (Hurricane), Levi Grandt (Doddridge), and Andrew Benford (Ravenswood), have competed in this event with Benford competing in both the U18 and Adult Divisions. But Sauro is the first to win it, taking the win on a kick to the finish over an athlete from England. The 4.4K course featured 155 Meters (508+ feet) of ascent/descent.
