He also bested top American trailrunners, Hal Koerner and William Emmerson.
Ann Heaslett, 41, of Madison, WI won the women's division at the Ice Age 50 Mile Trail event in the heart of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine State Forest. Heaslett's time was 7:49:52, an 8 minute margin over Carolyn Smith of Milwaukee, one of the top 24 Hour runners in the country.
