Conner Mantz sure knows how to put on a show at Folsom Field.
A year after a dramatic finish to win the Bolder Boulder, he did it again on Monday. Mantz surged past Yemane Haileselassie of Eritrea in the final 250 meters to claim the title in the International Pro Team Challenge for the second year in a row.

The preliminary plan calls for Gomber to skip Monday’s start and pitch this weekend against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
“I felt really good after my last start in Oakland, but then we flew back here and there was a little bit of swelling and inflammation near the back of my triceps where it meets the elbow,” said Gomber, adding that his arm was at about 85%.
Two years ago, Aidan Reed ran the Bolder Boulder for the first time but chose to take it easy and jog throughout the 10K race.

Molly Grabill wasn’t too thrilled with how she’s been running lately.
Monday was a different story.
At the 44th Bolder Boulder, the Superior resident and San Diego native won the women’s citizen’s race for the second consecutive year. A former six-time All-American at Oregon, Grabill, 31, is the first repeat champion — men or women — since Lilly Guerra won the women’s races in 2002-03.
Grabill said she came in with the intent to win, but added, “I mean, there was Laura (Thweatt) and Gwen (Jorgensen) in the race and I’ve just kind of been in a little bit of a slump since the (U.
