Nikki Kimball joined the 40+ age category last year and the Muddy Buzzard ranked her first among Montana's masters runners in 2012.

 

The Muddy Buzzard ranks Bozeman's Scott Creel Montana's best masters runner in 2011. Alan King of Billings numero uno among Montana's open division runners.

 

Ballantine's Sarah Graves competed gallantly finishing the Olympic Trials Marathon in 2:50:16. Graves qualified for the Trials only after multiple tries before she got it right! The Muddy Buzzard also recently ranked Graves first among Montana's open-division female runners for 2011.

How close can one get to the finish line without finishing?

 

50 year old Don Demetriades of Bozeman recently entered his sixth decade of life, and now he is the only runner in Earth's recorded history who has run a sub-2:50 marathon in 5 of his 6 decades of life. Sadly, he didn't do one before his tenth birthday. Hear interview.

 

It was an epic dual to the finish line, like none seen before or since, and it was filmed.

2:03:38! Men's world record in Berlin Marathon by Kenya's Patrick Makau.  Video of race's last 15 minutes. The previous record of 2:03:59 was set 3 years earlier in the same race by Ethiopia's Haili Gebresalassie. Geb dropped out of this year's race with 7 km left to go, after Makau shook him with a "zig-zag" strategy. Makau was rewarded by Athletics Kenya which named him to the Kenyan Olympic team for the Marathon. Geb has to race again in January to get a qualifying time to be on Ethiopia's Marathon team.

 

Montana's highest point lies at 3900 meters atop Granite Peak. Ever wonder what the ascent record is for running there?

Video and results from the Bridger Ridge Run, where the amazing Scott Creel of Bozeman won for the tenth time. When asked the secret to success running the Ridge Run, Nicole Hunt of Deer Lodge (who has walked parts of the course) said "a combination of guts and... guts. You have to be willing to go for it on the down hills without fear of injury."

 UM's Lynn Reynolds, the former Dillon Beaver, earned a spot on the starting line of steeplechase at the NCAA's West Regional Championship, at hallowed Hayward Field in Eugene Oregon. Earlier this season Reynolds placed 6th in Big Sky Conference steeplechase with a 9:07 time. He had also previously produced a 12-second PR in a Stanford steeplechase with a time of 8:54, which was good for 15th place in his heat at the highly competitive Payton Jordan Invitational.

 

Former Butte Bulldog Keli Dennehy, now racing as a freshwoman for the UM, placed 7th in Big Sky Conf 1500 m in a time of 4:32, and then came back an hour later to place 5th in the 5000 m in 17:14.

 

MSU's  Patrick Casey (the former Laurel Locomotive) became the first human in the history of the Earth to eclipse the 4-minute mile barrier inside Montana's borders.

at Casey's pace. YouTube
