Out of the four, Colorado-based Dave Mackey came out on top at last year’s Western States, taking fourth place overall. Following close behind with a fifth place finish last year was the Bend, Ore. local Ian Sharman, who is also chasing the Grand Slam of Ultra-running (http://www.run100s.com/ On the women’s side, Aliza LaPierre aggressively fought back from a recent injury and is considered to be a strong contender in this year’s race.
