\nConrad Stoltz won his second straight XTERRA 2010 USA Championship race and Renate Bucher her second ever with definitive victories at the XTERRA South Central Championship at Waco, Texas today.<\/p>\n

Stoltz followed his XTERRA West Championship win at Lake Las Vegas last month with a 2:02:21 finish for the 1.5 k swim, 24k mountain bike and 10k trail run for a 3:05 margin of victory over runner-up Josiah Middaugh of Vail, Colorado. Stoltz seems to be getting better as the season goes on, since his margin of victory over Middaugh last month was just 39 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually Josiah by rights should have won that race in Lake Las Vegas,\u201d said Stoltz. \u201c\u201dBut he had a flat and lost two minutes. Today, I was feeling much better and I loved this course. It has 300 turns and twists and a ton of sharp uphills and it suits my power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bucher avenged a 6th place finish at Lake Las Vegas for a 2:17:59 finish that gave her a 2:15 margin of victory over Shonny Vanlandingham. Bucher\u2019s win was her second XTERRA USA Championship win to go with her 21 XTERRA International career victories.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this course,\u201d said Bucher, a 32-uear-old resident of Lucerne, Switzerland. Bucher emerged from the swim 5 minutes down to top rival Melanie McQuaid but ahead of Vanlandingham. \u201cIt goes through a forest and has a lot of turns and short sharp uphills and I passed Melanie with a kilometer to go on the bike loop.\u201d<\/p>\n
