Renee Metivier, who finished second to Shalane Flanagan at the USA Cross Country Championships on February 16, is part of the U.S. team at the World Cross Country Championships in Edinburgh, Scotland on Sunday. It will be the fourth straight year Metivier has competed at these Championships. Now 26 - she was born on Christmas Day - she began her collegiate career at Georgia Tech and then transferred to the University of Colorado and was an NCAA Cross Country Championships runnerup once for each of those schools. In a strong 2005 indoor season, she was the Big 12 champion in the 3000 and 5000 and won the 3000 at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Metivier was fourth in the 5000 at the 2005 NCAA Championships outdoors on the track; she set her personal best of 15:15.78 in ‘05 for that distance
