Camille Herron
Herron had another strong year, winning three races outright. She set a course record at the venerable Strolling Jim 40-mile in Tennessee, set a world best for 100 miles on a track, and would have broken her own 100-mile World Record at the Jackpot Ultras but for a course measurement error. She also finished sixth at Comrades in South Africa and showed her versatility with a top-10 finish at Western States.
