Whitworth 29:58:06 TX M5 This was the 20th running of the "Race Across the Sky". 189 runners finished the race this year out of 465 starters (a 41% finishing rate). Weather conditions were HOT this year with clear blue Rocky Mountain skies and temperatures reaching over 80 degrees during the day, which is unheard of in Leadville. Overall 2002 Leadville Trail 100 and men's champion was Chad Ricklefs of Boulder, CO who ran a course record time of 17:23:18!!! Chad eclipsed the previous course record of 17:30:42 set in 1994 by Juan Herrera of Mexico. However, Chad's victory did not come easily as a stellar field of ultrarunners challenged him throughout the race. 2nd place was captured by Paul Dewitt in a time that would normally have won this event in years' past, an excellent 18:07:02! Third place was taken for the second year in a row by Joe Kulak (third must be his lucky number!) in 18:43:13. The women's 2002 Leadville Trail 100 race was equally as exciting as the men's. The women's 2002 Leadville Trail 100 champion was Anthea Schmid of Crested Butte, CO who ran her first ever 100 mile race in a fantastic time of 19:44:24 which also placed her 5th overall! 2nd place finisher this year was once again Jill Case (2nd place must be her lucky number!) in a great time of 22:32:02. Third place was captured by Susan Brozik of New Mexico in a time of 21:41:47. The Leadville website will be updated with these results tonight. www.leadvilletrail100.com Steve Siguaw - Pine, CO - 8/20/02
