Setting a championship record to win his first USATF road title, Aidan Troutner earned recognition as the 35th USATF Athlete of the Week award winner for 2026 🏅
Troutner outkicked a talented field at the USATF 10K Championship in St. Paul, Minnesota, to win in 27:40. His time bettered the previous championships record of 27:49 by Dirk Lakeman in 1986.
A large pack went through two miles in just over nine minutes and then hit the halfway mark at 14:12 with much of the field still in contention. Into the final stretch five men were battling for the win, and Troutner had the best finishing speed to capture his first national title of any kind. 👏
