Traci Falbo
Traci Falbo had a stellar year to place eighth. She ran the fastest trail 100-mile time in history at the inaugural running of the Tunnel Hill 100, finishing first overall in a field of 84. Her American record 48-hour run at Six Days in the Dome was one of the top performances of the year. The Indiana native ran with such intensity in that race, collapsing at the finish, that many were using the term “to Falbo” as a verb meaning “literally giving it your all”.
