Mo Trafeh Joins Marathon Performance

Marathon Performance Training Group is pleased to announce the addition of Mohamed Trafeh. The former Arizona Wildcat and Duarte High School, CA phenom is preparing for a breakout season. The 24-year old wrapped up 2009 with a victory in the 32nd Annual Cow Harbor 10k (29:15.6). Other notable finishes included 2nd at the USA 20k Championships and 12th in the USA 15k Champs. He is tentatively scheduled to run a marathon in Morocco (where he is training currently) to begin the 2010 season. Trafeh makes him home in Southern California.

Coach and agent Brad Hudson on Trafeh: “Mo is an outstanding athlete. We’re really excited to bring him on board. He’s a super talent with tons of ability — very untapped. Mo’s poised to make a big impact on the US running scene in 2010. We’re going to start the process of getting him into an early marathon with the notion that he will also compete in cross country and on the track this next year. ”
