Tim VanOrden finishing 4th last year at the Empire State Building Run-UP

CMS' Tim VanOrden (Bennington, VT), who was named the 2011 USATF Masters Mountain Runner of the Year last year, had a strong week of racing as he tried to better his 4th place showing in last year's Empire State Building Run-Up but fell just short after being on PR pace for about 60 floors. Tim became ill over the last 26 floors and dropped back, but still finished a solid 10th place (results) down in Manhattan on Wednesday night.

He then made his way out to USATF Cross Country Nationals in St. Louis, MO where he finished a stellar 12th place in the Masters Race (results) on Saturday.  Former CMS runner Rusty Snow was 3 seconds out of the overall win and former longtime CMS runners Eric Morse and Dave Dunham also had strong races, finishing 21st and 22nd respectively.
