2012 World 100K Top Performances by the PA's Jon Olsen and Joe Binder



What a stupendous achievement detailed in that nice Modesto Bee write-up on Jon Olsen and his amazing 7th-place breakthrough finish at the IAU World championships.

Worth noting is the Strawberry Canyon Track Club's Joe Binder, who took 10th overall himself, in an outstanding time of 6 hours, 54 minutes and 31 seconds, also a monstrous 100K performance.

Olsen edged out 2:17 marathoner Michael Wardian and Joe Binder was less than six minutes behind them. This pair of top-ten finishes at the highest level in ultra-marathoning represent remarkable efforts by not one but two well-accomplished PA-USATF distance warriors.
