Camille Herron
Camille Herron checks in as the second ranked woman in 2021. Herron’s up and down year included a gutty, slug-it-out finish at Western States and a couple of injury-induced withdrawals, but when she was “on” she was on fire. She set a course record while winning the Javelina 100 and, a mere six weeks later, set an American record for 100 miles on a track. Amazingly, her American record wasn’t even a PR – she has run nearly 40 minutes faster on a road course! Herron lives in Oro Valley, Arizona, with her husband, Conor. – John Medinger.

Weird. Hayden Hawks was listed as 11th at Western States. And Camille is listed as 26th? She was 90th. Who and what are you pandering to here?
26th female.
set an American record for 100 miles on a track
Ahhh so UR Mag *includes* everyone for men’s results to deflate them. But *excludes* men from women’s results to inflate them. Inconsistency in the name of… equity…?
Both say “gender place” not overall. Cheers mate
Lol, thanks for updating it 😂😂. Now for Hughes to be higher than Camille, at minimum.
R u two sayin there r only two genders? Wuuuuuuutttt???
May want to include Nick Coury’s Man Against Horse win. That’s a big win.
You need to add the distance to the list of races in the runner’s yearly summary.
i agree. and DOUBLE CHECK the results. So many of these have had to be editied.
Nick Coury’s powerful win was sheer delight! His record breaking finish in the Desert Solstice is inspirational.
