30th annual Black Canyon Ascent

May 14, 2005

MONTROSE— In the 30th annual Black Canyon Ascent on May 14th, Simon Gutierrez of Alamosa cruised to first place overall with a time of 43:55 and Lisa Goldsmith of Nederland set a new female record with her time of 51:01 for the six-mile course.  Goldsmith was also the fastest female masters runner. Rounding out the top female finishers in the field of sixty-seven runners and walkers were Meg Tomcho of Montrose, who ran 56:04, Keith Frates of  Crested Butte with a time of 57:45 and Geri Howard of Gunnison, who ran 59:40.  Bernie Boettcher of Silt took top honors for the male masters category with a time of 44:56. Kirk Apt of Crested Butte ran 51:42 and Ridgway's Heath Hibbard came in at 51:59  Linda McDaniel of Hotchkiss powered in as the first walker with a blistering pace of 1:23:59. Some milestones transcended the stopwatch, however.  Montrose resident and runner Ann Scarry won the prize for overall endurance.  She left her twelve-hour shift at Montrose Memorial Hospital and came directly to the race, climbed 2000 feet to the finish line and then returned immediately to work.
