3 How to Get Your Name in This Book The USATF Road Running Information Center (RRIC) is interested only in races that can certify that each finisher ran at least the advertised distance in a time at least as fast as that reported. Thus your performance must have been on a certified course in a race for which proper timing procedures were used. A M I N N E S O T A R U N N E R S YEARBOOK Here are the age groups for which records are kept: -- Open (under 35) -- Single year age groups up to 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 notable 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 Open Divisions The fastest 20 performances by Minnesota residents who met the standard in the following: 8K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 20 Mile Top 30: 1 Mile, 5K, 10 Mile, Half Marathon, Marathon 35-and-up 5-year Divisions The top 10 performances by Minnesota residents in: 8K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 20 Mile Top 15: 10K Top 20: 1 Mile, 5K, 10 Mile, Half Marathon, Marathon Front Cover Photos Ruen (courtesy of): Cueno, Sathre, Cueno, Merchant, Block, Elliott, Decker, Strike, Gau, Billig, Madden, Zetterlund, Cottrell, Peterson, Graupner, Cronen, Kleyman, Sankey USATF Minnesota: Rawn Jack Moran Age Records Founder, Twin Cities Marathon Founder, A Minnesota Runner s Yearbook Tom Ruen Gene Niemi Wayne Kryduba Photographers Mike Setter Editor, etc. Photos courtesy of the athlete pictured (or Setter), unless otherwise noted.

5 The Best Runners in Minnesota in 2015 The performance lists that follow were used to rank the best Minnesota runners of 2015 in each age group. For each distance, we assigned points to the top ten performances by Minnesotans in 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 twenty performances were scored 20, 19, 18, etc. If a runner ran more than one of the top scoring performances in their category, they received only the points associated with the best performance, but they prevented rivals from getting points they might otherwise have realized. For instance, say a runner records the top three times in their division for a given distance. That runner will score 10 points. The runner who records the fourth fastest time at that distance will receive 7 points. If two runners run the same time, whether or not in the same race, they each receive the higher number of points earned by that time. This system ignores performances by Minnesota runners out of state. Therefore, the winners are not necessarily the best Minnesota runners, but they certainly were the best runners in Minnesota 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 five different 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 penalizes 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 the best runners in Minnesota. Here they are, and how they earned their points in Note: in the discussion, statements like X beat Y two times out of three refer only to performances in races on certified courses in Minnesota that submitted their results for record keeping. Frequent reference is made to the [2015 World Master Athletics] WMA age-graded scale. This system 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.

The only other OpenW/W35-39 double was back in 1999, by Kelly Keeler. Kim Robinson, second, equalled her second placing from Elizabeth Turner, eighth last year, jumped up five 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.

50 Minnesota All Time Age Records Set in 2015 Here are the performances from 2015 that have made their way on to the list of Minnesota All Time Age Records. If the course is officially 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 finish -- 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-finish distance greater than 30% may be accepted for records if it can be shown that there was no tailwind.
