EAGLE RIVER (July 23) - Former University of Alaska Anchorage student-athletes Zach Violett and Noelle Brassard were crowned men's and women's champions of the 22nd annual Crow Pass Crossing today.
Violett, a former UAA and cross country runner and All-America skier, won the men's event in 3 hours, 17 minutes and 56.9 seconds, while Brassard, a former Seawolf women's basketball player, won the women's title in 4:05:15.2.
Violett was also the race's top men's rookie while Betsy Bush, who finished ninth among women, was the women's top rookie.
The Crow Pass Crossing run covers approximately 24 miles, starting from Girdwood and ending at the Eagle River Nature Center. The event was postponed one week due to poor air quality - a result of heavy smoke from wildfires on the Kenai Peninsula.
