Jim Walmsley

Jim Walmsley, of Flagstaff, Arizona, ran eight ultras during the year, winning seven of them. His only non-win was at Western States, where he missed a turn at mile 93 while leading the race by an hour. In a totally dominant year, he set course records at the JFK 50, Lake Sonoma 50, and Bandera 100K. He also set a new fastest known time on the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim route.

She also won the Bear 100, with her lone defeat placing second at the Lake Sonoma 50. In three of her seven wins, she not only was first woman, but beat all the men as well.
