** 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.

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 -

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 ...
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.
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!
Its old news, but no american finished spartathon this year (2011)
Next up 24 hours of Boulder (Oct 15-16)
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 am fuller bodied than Dopplebock
Thanks - I added her
Finally info on Freedom Park 24
http://www.leetiming.com/recap.html
Anne Riddle-Lundblad ran 140.26
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.
