	Name	Age	Home Town	Total (best 3)	BPAC 17-Apr	HF30 28-May	FL50K 2-Jul	FL50M 2-Jul	GL50K 28-Aug	GL100K 28-Aug	Can50K 8-Oct	Can50M 8-Oct	Mendon 5-Nov
1	Oskvig , Daven	34	Amherst, NY	304.08						102.37		101.70	100.00
1	Brundige, Elizabeth	35	Ithaca, NY	301.33		100.00		101.33		90.83			100.00

After five of six events, Ed Housel had a nice lead over the other men who have already scored in three races. Davin Oskvig had moved himself into contention with a strong second place in the Can Lake 50 Mile. A finish worth 80 points or more by Daven Oskvig at Mendon would move him ahead of Housel's total. Oskvig led from the gun, got his second consecutive Mendon win and brought his 2011 best 3 races point total over 300 and 20 points clear of Housel.

Elizabeth Brundige had the smallest of leads over Heather Danielson after five events. Brundige just has to beat her 90.83 total from the GLER 100k to extend her lead but she beat that soundly by taking the win at Mendon, moving 9 points clear of Danielson and also getting over 300 points.

Final Series Standings by Category
Notes: All men are scored based on the performance of the overall male winner; all women are scored based on the performance of the overall female winner. The male and female winners will be awarded the maximum score of 100 points, 104 points for the 50 Mile races and 106 points for the GLER 100K. Other finishers in each category are awarded points proportional their performance. There is no duplication of awards, i.e., the runner with the next most points to the Series Champion will be awarded First Place in the age group category.

Standings | Race Summaries

	BPAC 6 Hour Distance Classic - John Ehntholt (44.49 miles) / Jennifer Roxburgh (32.50 miles) Shelley Viggiano (tied for 3rd woman with 32.50 miles) reported, "It was a wonderful, blustery day with painful sideways hail at times. ... I can't begin to explain how strong that wind was - stop you dead in your tracks, blow a smaller person off course kind of wind." Running through an epic day of hail, snow, rain and winds up to 40mph, John Ehntholt (Glens Falls) was the only runner to go out for a 14th lap. Bruce Riexinger (Lancaster) finished 13 laps for 42.25 miles with less than five minutes left. Ed Housel (Rochester) finished 13 laps after the 6 hour mark for a pro-rated total of 41.20 miles and first veteran. Jennifer Roxburgh (Pickering, Ontario) finished ten laps with less than nine minutes left on the clock for the women's win. Christine Stevens (Newark) finished her tenth lap after 6 hours for a pro-rated 31.63 miles. Natalie Werner (Portageville) and Shelley Viggiano (Rochester) both stopped at nine laps for 29.25 miles. Despite the difficult conditions, 40 runners finished 8 laps (26.00 miles) or more. Click here for Overall Results. Click here for Individual Splits.
	Highland Forest 1, 2, 3 (30 Miles) - Cory West 5:10:33 / Liz Brundige 5:23:23 Heavy overnight rains made for a slow trail with mud even in places that usually have firm footing. While it wasn't a day for records, the conditions did suit those who relish a good romp through the mud. Cory West (Horseheads) took the men's overall title ahead of Joel Cisne. Indicative of the slippery conditions, his 5:17:30 finish was over 27 minutes slower than his second place time in 2010. Liz Brundige (Ithaca) was the third finisher overall and first woman. Last year's winner, Ed Housel (Rochester) finished fourth overall and first in the Veteran Men category in 5:36:30. Tom Nesterick (Watertown) finished fifth overall and first in the Masters Men category in 5:45:01. Heather Danielson (Rochester) was the second woman to finish (5:45:48).

	Finger Lakes Fifties (50k and 50 mile): Record fields in both races; several course records were set despite hot day. 50k - Paul Wallace (4:31:08!) / Sheryl Wheeler (5:36:43). Paul Wallace (Denver, PA) ran conservatively on the first 25k lap and finished with a slight negative split, overtaking Sean Andrish (age 41, Leesburg, VA) and Peter Lawry (Charleston, NH) on the second lap for the win and new men's course record. Andrish finished second in 4:36:30 for a new Masters Male course record. Lawry finished a close third overall and second Open Male in 4:38:32. Sheryl Wheeler (age 48, Rhinebeck) was the top woman overall. Hannah Haynes (Fairborn, OH) and Leah Lawry (Charlestown, NH) finished tied for second in 5:43:36 closely followed by Mariana Bartonicek (Syracuse) in 5:44:10. Elizabeth Mainiero (age 50, Southbury, CT) was the first Veteran finisher overall and first Masters Female in 5:56:54. James Miner (age 62, Dryden) was the Veteran Male winner in 6:44:07. A total of 108 runners finished the 50k. 50 mile - Jeff Powers (7:06:02) / Elena Makovskaya (9:11:46!). Jeff Powers (Wilmington, DE) was the fastest on all three laps, gradually pulling clear despite the well paced run of Chad Denning (New London, NH) who placed second in 7:10:45. Christopher Bynum (New York City) finished third in 7:52:30, finally pulling away from John Ehntholt (age 44, Glens Fall) in the third lap. Ehntholt was the first Masters Male finisher in 8:12:03. Elena Makovskaya (Hackensack, NJ) took the lead from Elizabeth Brundrige (Ithaca) after lap 1 and pulled away to set a new women's course record. Brundrige finished second woman in 9:26:56. Heather Danielson (Rochester) was third woman in 9:44:00. Liz Bondar (age 42, Madison Heights, MI) was the first Masters Female finisher in 11:26:36, closely followed by Susan Baehre (age 52, Triangle, VA), the first Veteran Female in 11:37:41. A total of 46 finished the 50 mile. Click here for full results of both races. Click here for 500+ photos of the races.
	Green Lakes Endurance Runs (50k and 100k): Tropical storm Irene made for a wet course that got muddier as the day went on. Despite the slippery course conditions, new overall course records were set in the 100k by Jim Sweeney and Serena Wilcox. In the 50k, Mary Dasilva also set the 50k age group record for women age 60+. 50k - Ted Nagowski (4:02:53) / Heather Danielson (4:50:22). Remarkably for the conditions, Ted Nagowski (age 50, Peterborough, ON) and Ed Housel (age 52, Rochester) both threatened Housel's 50-59 age group record (4:00:43) set last year. Housel finished second overall in 4:05:55. Joseph Lyman (Cortland) finished third overall in 4:15:04 for first in the 18-39 Open Men's division. Jason Griffith (Thousand Oaks, CA) was the first Masters with a 4:29:20 finish for 6th overall. Heather Danielson (Rochester) led all the women home and was first in the 18-39 age group. Carrie Neveldine (Fayetteville) finished second overall in 5:03:37 and won the 40-49 age group just ahead of Kellie Smirnoff (Jacksonville, FL) who was third woman and second in 40-49 in 5:04:16. Luana Pesco Koplowitz (Plainville) won the 50+ age group in 6:38:42. Finishing a close second in the category was Mary Dasilva (age 64, Brewerton). Her 6:54:32 set the course record for women age 60+. Click here for 50k results. 100k - Jim Sweeney (8:20:11!) / Serena Wilcox (9:52:01!). Jim Sweeney (Albany) ran remarkably even spits to pass early leader Daven Oskvig (Amherst) and beat by more than two minutes what many thought was the unbreakable course record set by Brazilian Valmir Nunes in 2008. Oskvig hung on to finish in 8:39:00, becoming only the third man to run under 9 hours in the GLER 100k. Serena Wilcox (Cambridge, VT) also took advantage of the cool if wet conditions and set a new women's 100k record for the 12.5k loop course. David Miller (Ashburn, VA) finished fifth overall in 11:15:07 for the men 50+ age group. Click here for 100k results.
	Can Lake 50 Ultras (50k and 50 miles) - Unseasonably high temperatures, a hot sun and no cloud cover made this a tougher race than usual. Leg cramps, some severe enough to cause DNFs, were a common experience. Despite the conditions, the male and female winners of the 50 mile ran the 3rd fastest times ever and a new 50-59 age group record was set. Results are posted on the race website. Here are links to those results: 50K Overall - Aidan Cooper (4:27:11) and Daniele Cherniak (4:28:07); 31 finishers 50 Mile Overall - Tim Fisler (6:55:04) and Christine Torres (7:40:23); 70 finishers
	16th Annual Mendon Trail Runs (50K) - Daven Oskvig (4:19:11) and Liz Brundige (5:00:19) Beautiful cool, sunny day (27 degrees at start, warming up to mid 40's). 49 of 55 finished, eight finished under 5 hours. Ed Housel ran a fine 4:43:04, just missing Rich Kruse's 50-59 record 4:41:38. Click here for Results at YellowJacket. Click here for 590+ photos taken by Tom Perry.
