INDIANAPOLIS –
Bolota Asmeron has been named USATF’s Athlete of

in
conjunction with the 14th annual Arturo Barrios Invitational 5K &
10K.
Asmeron, who placed
fourth in the 5,000 meters at the 2002 USA Outdoor
Championships (13:32.88) led Team USA to a second-place finish behind
Mexico
by completing the course in 13 minutes, 54 seconds. Other U.S. finishers
