In an early season, out of state, unofficial, semi-meaningful, Montana Cup Preview - the top 3 teams (including open men, masters men and women) are - Kalispell (53), Bozeman (53) (Kalispell wins with the higher scoring 6th man [18th versus 21st]), Missoula (56). Go Big White!!!!!! This may be the closest we get to winning the overall team championship ;-)

Outside of the top 25 from the Big Sky, we also have the Age Group Highlights

Mary Dean 53:01 1st, 50-54
Lauri Detzi 52:28 5th, 40-44
Jennifer Straughon 58:40 6th, 50-54
Pam Schiemer 53:56 8th, 40-44
Marta Fisher 49:35 12th, 30-34
Eddi Walker 63:36 15th, 55-59
Amber Wood-Jensen 52:46 18th, 30-34
Jennifer Burke 52:20 21st, 35-39

My votes for performances of the day go to a bunch of our over 50 crowd. How about Mary Dean of Butte, Tim Brooker of Plains and Don Sundberg of Butte getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd place age-group placings. And Tim and Don had a great race within a race, finishing within 11 seconds of each other and both running fantastic times.

Honorable Mentions go to Nicole Hunt as she continues a strong return in the era of AE (After Eon). 31st woman, 4th Age Group, 3rd fastest Montanan. Also a shout to Mary Thane with her 2nd place age group finish in the 45-49 age group.

For full results, go to www.bloomsdayrun.org. They have results that are searchable by name. Unfortnately, they only show the top 25 from Montana. So, you have to pretty much know who you are looking for, then search that way.

If I've missed anyone in the age group placings, let me know, leave a comment and I'll update the post.
