Shannon Hartnett at Pleasanton

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2004

Shannon Hartnett will be defending her U.S. Heavy Events title at Pleasanton once again this year, so if you need one more excuse to come to Pleasanton, California on Labor Day weekend, that should do it.

Following her appearance on a MILO cover, Harnett was featured in IRONMAN magazine, and Steve Conway, Athletic Chairman at Pleasanton, said that Hartnett was recently inducted into the California State University at Sonoma's Athletic Hall of Fame. The women's field keeps growing at Pleasanton, and in addition to Shannon Hartnett, come out to watch and cheer for Jessica Dowdy, Jamie Houge, Kim Mc Neil and Mindy Lincoln.
