PRELIMINARY RESULTS -- DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE -- REVISIONS TO BE MADE

Highlights:

• Helena High Senior Dan Osborne becomes 3rd high school runner in history to break 20:00!

(the first to do so, Brink Kuchenbrod, traveled from Missoula & witnessed this fine effort)

• Christy Otte-Stergar leads the Vigilante women and captures her first ARR title!

• Thomas Jodoin, on a sub-par day, still leads the Vigilante Men!

• Master runner extraordinaire Peter Dan Sullivan captures 3rd place, in the exact same time he ran

in 2006 to win that year’s race, and 8 seconds faster than his 2003 winning time!

• Elaine Dahl had perhaps the closest finish of the day, summoning a ferocious kick! :)
