U.S. stars Matt Hanson and Jackie Hering took top honors at Ironman 70.3 Campeche.

Hanson combined a 4th-best 24:27 swim, a 3rd-fastest 2:06:36 bike split and a race-best 1:15:47 half marathon to finish in 3:48:57 with a 1:12 margin of victory over Jackson Laundry of Canada (1:16:50 run split) and 3:27 over defending Campeche 70.3 champion and 3rd place finisher Michael Weiss of Austria (1:19:35 run).

Nicholas Chase of the U.S. led by 1 second after the swim and after a 2nd- best 2:04:40 took the lead into T2 by 1:26 over Michael Weiss of Austria and 1:58 over Hanson. Hanson passed Chase and Weiss at 5 kilometers into the run and was never threatened thereafter.

Hering overcame a 2:12 deficit to swim leader and fellow American Sarah True with a women’s-best 2:23:08 bike split that sliced True’s lead at T2 to 1:31.On her way to a women’s-fastest 1:23:54 run split, Hering passed True after 5 kilometers and finished in 4:16:48 with a 6:50 margin of victory over True, who ran 1:32:20. Danielle Dingman of the U.S. filled out the women's podium, 21:01 behind the winner.

Hanson and Hering also scored double wins at the Traverse City 70.3 last summer.
