Twin Cities' Top Runners of 2001

I found my ranking of local runners from 15 years ago and thought it might be of some interest to others. Few people race well for 15 years, but those who had already been racing 15 years in 2001 are still racing - and finishing in the same order! If you're looking for a particular name, try putting it into the search box at the top of the page (one of the dozen women is listed under her maiden name). Track races, trail races and ultramarathons were not included. Many names appear twice, as two lists were merged (I started correcting it, then quit); in that case, the higher ranking stands. Each cluster of names are approximately equal. This was my "hit list" at the time - if you're looking for me, I put my name in bold.
