HISTORY
SUPER ATHLETES
This category was originally titled “Runner Of The Year”. Our first winners were Judy Fisher and Bill Iffrig. Both posted world class times at all 4 distances
In 2014 and 2015, the winners were Judy Fisher and Joe Sheeran.
At this point we realized that Judy and Joe were going to win every year.
We felt we should widen the award to include more top runners. We decided to replace Runner of the Year with the Super Athlete award. We also decided to abandon plaques in favor of a more unique award, the Super Athlete Ring. To gain Super Athlete status and a ring, athletes must be ranked in the TOP IO at all four distances at the end of the year.
