Two-time Olympian Victoria Herazo of Henderson won Sunday's National USA Track & Field race walk, held outside Chicago, and established a record time in the process. Herazo, 40, broke the masters record for the 15,000-meter race with a time of 1 hour, 17 minutes, 2 seconds, and finished five minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. "I'm ecstatic," she said. "It was a great race." She'll be competing for a third berth on the U.S. Olympic team in the U.S. Olympic Trials July 14-17 in Sacramento, Calif.
