How to Get Your Name in This BookThe USATF Road Running Information Center (RRIC) is inter-ested only in races that can certify that each fi nisher ran at least the advertised distance in a time at least as fast as that reported. Thus your performance must have been on a certifi ed course in a race for which proper timing procedures were used.Here are the age groups for which records are kept:-- Open (under 35)-- Single year age groups up to 19-- 5-year age groups from 35 on up.In each of these groups there is a cutoff time for men and women (or boys and girls) for performances that would be judged “no-table” and recorded. These standards are based on those that the RRIC uses and are, of course, more generous than the national standards. The standards that were used in 2015 are shown on the following page. The last substantial revisions were made in 2001. Open DivisionsThe fastest 20 performances by Minnesota residents who met the standard in the following:8K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 20 MileTop 30: 1 Mile, 5K, 10 Mile, Half Marathon, Marathon 35-and-up 5-year DivisionsThe top 10 performances by Minnesota residents in:8K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 20 MileTop 15: 10KTop 20: 1 Mile, 5K, 10 Mile, Half Marathon, Marathon

The Best Runners in Minnesota in 2015The performance lists that follow were used to rank the bestMinnesota runners of 2015 in each age group. For each distance,we assigned points to the top ten performances by Minnesotansin each age group/gender: 10, 9, 8, etc. If there were fewer than ten performances, the top time was awarded only as many points as there were runners listed. In the Open divisions, the top twentyperformances were scored 20, 19, 18, etc.If a runner ran more than one of the top scoring performances intheir category, they received only the points associated with thebest performance, but they prevented rivals from getting pointsthey might otherwise have realized. For instance, say a runnerrecords the top three times in their division for a given distance.That runner will score 10 points. The runner who records thefourth fastest time at that distance will receive 7 points. If tworunners run the same time, whether or not in the same race, theyeach receive the higher number of points earned by that time.This system ignores performances by Minnesota runners outof state. Therefore, the winners are not necessarily the “bestMinnesota runners,” but they certainly were the “best runners inMinnesota” as they dominated our races week in and week out.So that the selection process rewards the quality of the runners’performances and not just their quantity, runners can earn points at no more than fi ve diff erent distances. Thus the maximum number of points is 100 in the open divisions and 50 in the age groups.

Still, the system totals points at enough distances that it penal-izes the short- or long-distance specialist; the winners tend to be people who perform well (and often) across the entire spectrum of distance running, from 1 mile to 26.2 miles. NOTE:Due to the similarities in distance between the 15K/10M, only the runner’s higher score from one of the distances will be used in their total. The same is true for the 30K/20M.This is the 30th year that we’ve attempted to identify thebest runners in Minnesota. Here they are, and how they earnedtheir points in 2015. Note: in the discussion, statements like “Xbeat Y two times out of three” refer only to performances in raceson certifi ed courses in Minnesota that submitted their resultsfor record keeping. Frequent reference is made to the [2015 World Master Athletics] “WMA age-graded scale.” This sys-tem rates any runner’s time as a percentage that is theoretically independent of age, sex, and distance. If you’d like to learn more about this system, simply Google “WMA age-graded calculator” for more information.

And didn’t stop there, as she added the Women 35-39 title too. The only other OpenW/W35-39 double was back in 1999, by Kelly Keeler. Kim Robinson, second, equalled her second placing from 2012. Elizabeth Turner, eighth last year, jumped up fi ve spots to number three. And Cynthia Jerop, top point-getter in the marathon and 10K, tied for fourth with the top point-getter in the 5K, 2014’s second-placer, Katie McGregor. Katie got 20 points in the 5K, Meghan Peyton earned 20 points in the 10 mile, and Mona Stockhecke received 20 points in the half marathon. 11 year old Grace Ping had the top WMA age-graded score in this division - and highest among all divisions - with 96.7%, for her 17:29 BK 5K. Gabriele Grunewald also topped 90% for her 4:38, 90.5%, at Grandma’s Minnesota Mile.Top Performances

Ben aced the half marathon and 10K, and fell just 5 points shy of recording a “per-fect” 100. Former Open winner Dan Greeno fi nished in the second spot for the third consecutive year. Dan was the top point-getter in the 10 Mile. Danny Docherty fi nished third, with scores at four distances. And Matthew Boumeester fi nished fouth. Former Open winner Chris Erichsen needed just three performances to fi nish fi fth. Jonathan Peterson earned 20 points in the mile, Mohammed Burka earned 20 points in the 5K, and Abrahamm Chelanga garnered 20 points in the marathon. Moham-med Burka’s 14:20 at the Brian Kraft Memorial 5K produced the highest age-graded performance in this division: 90.5%.Top Performances

Women 50-54

Wanda Gau picked up her second title in 2015 by dominating at every distance (in which she participated), from the mile to the marathon. And earning the maximum 50 points. Last year’s winner, second-placer Rochelle Wirth, picked up 10 points in the 8K and 10 mile. It was a real battle royal behind Wanda and Rochelle. Laurie Hans-com and Kelly Keeler Ramacier tied for third at 28 points. While just one point back, at 27, Kimberly Anderson and Cindy Lewandowski tied for fi fth. Wanda’s 19:08 at the Kraft 5K was the top WMA performance in this division: 89.2%.Top Performances

With last year’s winner Doug Keller barely racing this year, it looked like Bobby Paxton might fi nally title for the fi rst time since 2003. Alas, Bobby was out-Class’d, and instead, fi nished second for the fourth year in a row. Dennis Wallach fi ished third, the same as last year. Paul Brown was fourth with 30 points. The top WMA age-graded performance in this division was 88.9%, Rob Class’s 4:58 Minnesota Mile. In non-Class distances Brent Smith got 10 points for the marathon, Steve Thomas earned 10 points in the 8K, and James Hannon earned 10 points in the 15K.

He edged two-time winner Randy Wiinanen by three points. Allen bested Randy in the mile, 5K, half and marathon. Randy bested Allen in the 10K and 15K. Randy earned 10 points at 8K, which Allen did not run. And Allen earned 10 points in the 10 mile, which Randy did not run. Finishing third was 2014’s second-placer, Michael Bjornberg. And two-time Men 60-64 winner Denny Jordan fi nished fourth. NOTE: It will be interesting to see in 2016 if 8-time ROY winner Dan Morse can stay true to his proclaimed retirement from racing. (He won this division in 2013 and 2014.)

Women 65-69

Gloria Jansen is now second only to Greg Prom for the top stash of titles. Greg has 21, Gloria 20. And, as is her wont, Gloria earned her 2015 win in impressive fashion, garnering 50 points. Only the 10 points by 2014’s winner, Diane Stoneking, in the 5K, prevented Gloria from maxing out at every distance in which she participated. 2014’s third-placer, Delma Bartelme, jumped to second. And had the top marathon time. And aforementioned Diane, who scored in four distances, was third. Carol Brouillard stayed in fourth, albeit joined by one of two fi fth placers from 2014, Kath-leen Shea. The top WMA age-graded performance in this division was Gloria’s 89.5% for her 7:13 mile at Hopkins Main Street.Top Performances

Women 75-79

The newly minted 75 year olds, Judy Cronen in fi rst and Sandra Dalquist in second, pushed 2014’s winner, Dorothy Marden (although Dorothy was not able to run most of the last half of 2015), and second-placer, Sonjie Johnson, to third and fourth, respectively. The deciding factor in this year’s standing could have been that Judy Cronen was able to participate in the Thanksgiving Day Cranberry Cruise Mile, whereas Sandra Dalquist could not make it up from Rochester for the event.

Minnesota All Time Age Records Set in 2015Here are the performances from 2015 that have made their way on to the list of Minnesota All Time Age Records. If the course is offi cially “aided,” the time is marked with an “a.” In order to qualify as a U.S. long distance running record a performance must have been run on a course whose elevation does not drop by more than one meter per kilometer of the course distance from

start to fi nish -- and whose straight-line is less than 30% of the length of the course. Performances run on courses that meet the drop provision but have a start-fi nish distance greater than 30% may be accepted for records if it can be shown that there was no tailwind.
