Mary Coordt: North American 50K Queen!

The March issue of ULTRARUNNING magazine includes the the 2006 North American Ultra Lists, showing top racers and races of the year. It turns out that Mary Coordt's 3:35:24 time for the 2006 Jed Smith 50K was the fastest time of the year for all of North America! There's even a nice picture of Mary (in a Buffalo Chips singlet, naturally). Way to go Mary!

The top-30 women (in the 50K) also included Rena Schumann (15th) and "Kristen" Schneider (28th). Rena also picked up the 10th fastest 50 mile time for her 7:39 at AR50.

Top 50K men included Erik Skaden (11th) for his 3:30 Jed Smith time and Mark Lantz (28th) for 3:39 at the same race. At the 50 mile distance, Erik Skaden ran the 14th fastest North America time with 6:24 at AR50.

Great job Chips!
