Najeeby Quinn broke the women's course record Thursday night and captured her second mountain- and trail-running title of the spring with her victory in Kal's Knoya Ridge run. Quinn covered the 5.6-kilometer course, which features an elevation gain of 2,900 feet up the Chugach Mountains behind Muldoon, in 47 minutes, 39 seconds. That trimmed 11 seconds off the previous women's record of 47:50 set by Olympic nordic skier Holly Brooks in 2008.
Quinn earlier this month won the Turnagain Arm Trail Run.
Former Mount Marathon champion Matias Saari also picked up his second victory of the spring, topping the men's field in 40:09, ahead of current reigning men's Mount Marathon champion Eric Strabel, who was clocked in 40:55. Saari also won at Turnagain Arm.
David Spencer shattered his own junior record to win the boys race, clocking 12:30 for 2.5-K that featured 1,200 feet of elevation gain -- his previous record was 14:27 in 2010.
The race featured more than 150 finishers.
