A Greek soldier was d ispatched to notify Athens of the victory, running the entire 26 miles and providing a model for the modern marathon race. On Sept. 12 and 13 in 1987 A.D., a Westminster College student ran 100 miles from Layton, Utah to Midway. Utah through the Wasatch Mountains just for the fun of it. Laurie Staton-Carte- r finished that run in 28 hours 39 minutes and 32 seconds to win the womens division of the Wasatch Front 100 for the fourth time in five' tries. It also marked her seventh time to run a 100 mile ultramarathon. (An ultramarathon is considered to be any race longer than 26.2 miles.) She also ran the treacherous 41.2 mile Grand Canyon Double Crossing ultramarathon over 24,000 feet of elevation gain and drop in the fall of 1986. In that race Laurie placed eighth overall and second in the womens division with a timeof 1 1 hours and 48 minutes. One of her personal favorite accomplishments was running a ultra in Oregon in 1985. There she completed the race in 6 hours and 53 minutes, a time that earned her a spot on the list of the top twenty fastest times for North American women. Laurie began running in high school at age 15. because, "my boyfriend ran twice a day. It was pratically the only time I could see him. she said. She competed in her first marathon in 1978 in St. George, Utah, finishing in a time of 3 hours and 31 minutes. This time was good enough for third place in the womens division and narrowly missing the qualifying time for a 50-mi- le national race in Boston. Since then, Laurie has been This year she competed in four, ultramarathons in a four month span. Between the competitions, she trained by running, 35- - to runs a couple of time a week with short 5- - to runs the rest of the time. I averaged about 90 miles week, she said.

Laurie graduated from Westminster College in 1980 with a bachelors degree in Geology, but after working as a junior geologist with a consulting firm, and then U.S. Steel, she found that she, liked studying geology more .than being a geologist, and decided to return to school. She spent 18 months at the University of Utah before coming back to Westminster College this semester. She is currenlty majoring in English, something she hopes will help strengthen her other love, writing. She has been very successful combining her two passions, running and writing, for several years. Laurie was a columnist with Utah Runner e magazine for 18 months, has written articles for Ultra Running magazine (a nationwide publication), and currently writes articles for Wasatch Sports Guide (including her account of the Grand Canyon ultramarathon in the September 1987 issue). She particularly enjoys working with the Wasatch Sports Guide because it encourages Utahns to enjoy the outdoors, whether running, skiing, bicycling, river rafting, camping or hiking (her personal favorites), even if only as a spectator. Laurie has a very decided love for the outdoors and has an interest in seeing as much of it as possible. Her future ultramarathon plans include running the Comrades Ultra in South Africa (barring a worsening political free-lanc- 54-mi- Tickets for Jazz season games Totally remodeled.

Her other running goals are to stay e competitive in the 50 and races and to improve her time by 15 to 20 minutes. She would also like to try a run, multiday racing (5 days for distance), and to compete in a 1300 mile ultramarathon, the current longest race in the world. What keeps her going when she is out there running? I can practically count on an emotional rollercoaster. When things get bad, I know that they will get better sometime, she said. Laurie is aware that, unfortunately, the reverse is also true. This is not bad though, as it tempers the runners initial enthusiasm and keeps them in touch with the reality of the impending mileage. What keeps her going in the classroom? Again, its almost like the rollercoaster. When I ask myself Why am I doing this? Why am I working so hard?, little voices go through all the reasons why and it reaffirms my commitment to what I want to do, to the things I love. With a practical attitude like that, there is almost no limit to her success.
