With the sun shining and temperatures in the mid-40s, runners at the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile (CUCB) faced stiff headwinds at times, but not stiff enough to keep top American Hillary Bor of Colorado Springs from breaking the 40-year-old American Record of 46:13, set by Greg Meyer here in the 1983 Cherry Blossom 10 Mile, as Meyer, one of nine past winners in town to celebrate the 50th anniversary, looked on at the finish line. Bor’s time of 46:11 earned him a $50,000 bonus from CUCB organizers and the title of 2023 USATF 10 Mile National Champion.
