Jared Campbell finished, breaking his own record: this is his 4th finish!

 

He finished in 59:30:32 hours. Nice words at the finish: “That new section is brutal. You are a bad man.”  

 

He entered the lap together with Jasmin Paris, but of course quite a lot can have happened since then, since that's 12 hours or so ago

Course reports have her on a pace close to the cut off...

There's an actual leaderboard for once. You could have a whole graphic this year!

This is amazing by the way. Jasmin was eating before going for the last lap, Jared arrived and they kept telling her she needed to go if she wanted clockwise. She didn't go, so Jared arrived, but he offered her the clockwise lap

The guy on Twitter who takes Keith Dunn's reports and puts them in the leaderboard? That's useful indeed! Although Barkleys should never ever get real live timings and such

Aaaaaand time's up!

History! After 59:58:21 hours, so 1:39 minutes until the cut-off, Jasmin Paris becomes the first ever female Barkleys finisher!

 Kevin Mayer has withdrawn from the Aztec Invitational Track meet in San Diego after sustaining a knee injury - will probably look to Gotzis meet in mid-May to get the Olympic qualifying standard.

I was so pumped when I read the tweet(?). I missed the announcement since I was busy, but what an amazing accomplishment!
