JOHN DAVIS FINISHES LEADVILLE 100!!!

 

He has won the Marshall Marathon a couple of times! Now he has taken on and finished the hardest ultra-marathon in the world, the Leadville 100!! This race is featured in the book "Born To Run". This isn't only a 100 mile race, it is a 100 MILE RACE AT 10,000 FEET!!!!!

 

I received this text from him early today:

 

"Got carried to the motel and laid in the floor for several hours screaming in pain!

 

Been up about 40 hours!

 

You can come to the ER and see a nurse with scrubs and a belt buckle over top of them on WEDNESDAY!!!"

 

Spencer Adkins of WOWK-TV wrote this great summary on their site. WV Runner Completes 100 Mile Ultra-Marathon at High Altitude

On the ladies side, recent WVU grad and All-American Clara Grandt was the 1st WV finisher for the women with a time of 1:18:45. 2010 WV 5K Championship winner Sami Harris was the 2nd WV finisher with a time of 1:26:57!
