US did very well. Amy Sproston won the women's race (7:34), Arbosgast 4th, Pam Smith 5th. Women't team won overall title.
Men's: Riddle 5th, Olson 7th, Wardian 8th, Binder 10th. Men's team second overall
Not sure how others finished

awesome!
With current qualifying rules - This will make it tougher to make the team for people
Top 10 auto qualifies for next year. I would rather see it maxed out at 3 (The scoreres)
Wardian - That is a bit disappointing - With all the racing he does - It has to impact his WC race
Way to go US women and men!
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

I've no place posting in this group (as I've not run an ultra in a year) but I noticed my college room mate finished 55th this year. Cool.

There was a little bit on the message board, and even some of it was nice!
