* Cathy Lee, 35, Minneapolis - 4:31:30 - 6th overall women. Cathy was the first woman to cross the finish line, but girls from later waves eventually turned in faster times.)

The Racine results do not include hometowns & states. MTN is indebted to those who provide us with information that was initially missed. For instance, Jessica Hill informed us that the following Minnesota athletes also turned in truly outstanding efforts at Racine last Sunday: Bryan Hill - 20th overall - 4:16:55, and Philip Faulkner - 44th overall - 4:21:52.
