Jenn Shelton Streaking Across The Infield At NF50 In Drymax Hyper Thin Prototypes

As part of our continuation of announcements of Drymax athletes, we are proud that Elite Runner Jenn Shelton of Ashland, Oregon will be competing in Drymax socks for the 2009 season.

Those who know Jenn can attest to her friendly and free spirited attitude along with with passion for running... FAST!!! Jenn current holds the course records at the Old Dominion 100 (17 hours 34 Seconds), Swinging Bridge 50K, Holiday Lake 50K and the Rocky Raccoon 100 (14 hours 57 minutes). Jenn feels her best race ever was her performance at the Mountain Masochist 50 taking a 2nd place in 7 hours and 57 minutes.

Jenn's 2009 plans are still a bit unclear but she intends to be a serious threat at the 2009 Western States 100. She also intends to give the Where's Waldo 100k and the North Face 50 a go. Jenn is thinking about the Chuckanuck and Eugene marathons as prep races for WS100.

About Drymax Jenn commented after a run through the Grand Canyon, "The socks were awesome... I went to the Grand Canyon and was super stoked because I could just run through the creeks while other people were tip toeing around them because they just didn't trust their socks to dry... plus getting any bit cooler was amazing. Thanks again for the socks they're working great..."

As part of the growing and elite Ashland Ultrarunning community Jenn's input on the performance and wear characteristics Drymax has been and will continue to be invaluable. Jenn's speed and love for technical trails will dovetail wonderfully with our other elite runners such as Jamie Donaldson and Karl Meltzer to completely torture our products allowing us to constantly improve them.

Everyone in the Ultra World knows Jenn is flat out fast and we can hardly wait to see what she is going to to do for 2009 as a Drymax athlete.
