Christy Marvin blew away the women's record and Scott Patterson threatened the men's record last week, when both secured victories on the long course at the Knoya Ridge Run.
Marvin clocked 1 hour, 7 minutes, 52 seconds, on the uphill-only race's long course, which checked in at 8.5 kilometers, with 4,300 feet of elevation gain. That put her 26 seconds ahead of occasional training partner Najeeby Quinn (1:08:18), and both blitzed Quinn's 2015 course standard of 1:10:45. Jessica Yeaton took third in 1:11:44.
Marvin won the medium-distance race up Knoya — that course is 5.6K, with 2,900 feet of elevation gain — in 2014 and 2013. She owns the medium-course record.
Patterson's 57:32 was just seven seconds off Jim Shine's 2015 standard. David Norris (58:20) took second Thursday night and Chad Trammell (59:39) earned third, less than 48 hours before he won Saturday's Trent-Waldron Glacier Half-Marathon.
Luke Jager won the men's medium course in 42:25, just five seconds ahead of Thomas O'Harra. Hunter Wonders took third in 44:23.
Annie Liotta won the women's medium-course race in 53:20, and runner-up Wendy Sailors (56:15) edged third-place finisher April McAndy (56:16).
On the short course (2.5K, 1,200 feet vertical gain), Michael Earnhart won the men's race in 12:25 and Hannah Brown won the women's race in 15:23.
