I doubt a 10mph run should do anything. 
(we'll assume that you meant 110)
Doubtful you cracked your radiator from a run.
Check all of your hoses and take the belly pan off and see if any of your coolant lines too/from the supercharger pump have ruptured or come off. It is right at the front fight of the very front and they continue up to two metal lines right at the front of the motor.
Also check the coolant overflow tank (front left...driver's side) to see that it's not leaking and the lines.
Post a followup.
Thanks.

No, please don't drive the car until you get that radiator issue FIXED! Seriously, we already have issues keeping the car cool during normal use I just don't see you helping the car without damaging it using a broken radiator.

Well it may be just a small leak and it may be something more serious. I would check for exhaust gases in the coolant first to see if you have signs of a head gasket issue. Then, assuming that is not your problem, you should flush the system and see how it flows. If everything checks out fine, then just replace the radiator and have a great day 
.
I too would not drive the car until you have the radiator fixed as you could find yourself stranded or worse damage the motor if the car overheats.
