    **  Note:  (1/2/2012) Although I no longer aspire to make the team or run a lot of miles - I will keep this up as there might be a few people interested

     

    I will try and accumulated the results of people during the qualification period - March 18, 2011 - June 11, 2012 for the 2012 24 Hour National Team.  Please help me to correct errors and get all he results into this thread.  The minimum is 135 miles for men and 120 miles for women.  I may post a few results that just miss to recognize the people.

    The 2012 World Championship is September 8-9, 2012 in Katowice, Poland

     

    This list is unofficial - But it is my final list of who should make team USA if the choose to accept the invitation

     

    Women (4 open spots)

     

    * Connie Gardner 144.72 (2010 and 2011 US National Champ) - Auto

    * Deb Horn 131.75 (2011 2nd place US National Champ Race) - Auto

    Sabrina Moran 147.90 (NC24) - Open

    Anne Riddle-Lundblad 140.26 (Freedom Park) - Open

    Suzanna Bon 133.97 (NC24) - Open

    Carilyn Johnson 130.92 (Desert Solstice) - Open

     

    Next best performances

    Lana Haugberg 128.71 - (FANS24) - Open

    Lisa Bliss 125.98 (NC24) - Open

    Anna Piskorska 122.83 (2011 Accross the Years) - Open

     

    Men (3 open spots)

     

    * Serge Arbona 156.49 (2010 National Champion) - Auto

    * Phil McCarthy 153.37 (2011 National Champion) - Auto

    * Johnathon Savage 146.28 (2011 2nd place National Championship) - Auto

    Mike Morton 163.9 (Hinson Lake) - Open

    Jon Olsen 158.53 (NC24) - Open

    Harvey Lewis 142.86 (FANS24) - Open

     

    Next best performances

    Joe Fejes 142.08 (NC24) - Open

    Glen Redpath 139.21 (Crooked Road 11/2011) (Canadian Citizen)

    Zach Gingerich 133.93 (Cornbelt 2011)

    Byron Lane 133.07 (NC24)

     

    I believe it will take > 145 to make the men's team and > 130 to make the women's team

     

    I wonder who is still going to make a push for it in the next 3 months?  Scott Jurek - David James - Nick Coury - Suzanna Bohn - Anna Piskorska - Jamie Donaldson - Jill Perry ?  Others? 

    Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

      Current Race

      Hinson Lake - Last year on a hot and hunid day - Mike Morton ran 153.89 - Mike servers in the US.

       

      Western States

      In 1997 the race was won by Mike Morton, a 25-year-old US Navy diver from Stevensville, Maryland, who completed the course in 15 hours, 40 mintues, 41 seconds, a new course record, which stunned the locals. Western States folklore always held that no out-of-state runner could win, nor could anyone younger than thirty. Morton proved everyone wrong on both counts. 

       

      Here is a race report from someone other than Mike that tells a little about Mike's 2010 race -

      On On

        Current Race

        Hinson Lake - Last year on a hot and hunid day - Mike Morton ran 153.89 - Mike servers in the US.

         

        Looks like he got 163.9  (taken from a note on the Ultra List)

          Damn that's good on for a hottish day on the trail!

           

          I do not endevor to beat that to qualify - Meaning to me there are only 2 open spots left.  I may have to PR to make the team ...

           

          Looks like he got 163.9  (taken from a note on the Ultra List)

             That is hauling ass!

              That is Awesome!  And on what does not sound like a super fast course.  It would have been cool for him to run at the National Championship.

              DoppleBock


                I am not sure, but I think he is serving his country in Afganistan and its hard for him to get state side - The only thing being over there might give him is heat training ...

                 

                I can not wait to see what he does in Poland next year!

                    I am out of serious training and do not aspire to make the 2012 team - But I am still a huge fan of US 24 hour racing, so I will try and keep this thread up.

                              I still have this fantasy that I will lose weight and try to qualify at FANS24 ~ So far I am making very slow progress at weight loss @ 10 pounds in Janaury.  Still puts me @ 232.  I will not run FANS unless under 200 and to have a realistic shot at my goal I need to be 190.

                                But the consolation prize for not making the 24 hour team is pretty good ~ Superior 100M race.
