Fastest 1000 Women from Peachtree 2004

Using the same method as I did yesterday for the men, I ran my stats on the open and masters women in the 2004 Peachtree 10K. All of the open and masters women came out to 1017 so instead of stopping at 1000, I just included them all.

One thing caught my eye in the masters division. Carmen Troncoso of my home city of Austin took fourth place with a time of 35:29. She often runs local races and was interviewed last month by Runner's World. The masters winner last year was Colleen S. De Reuck with a time of 32:30. This was third place overall and just 36 seconds behind the winner.

Just like the men, the 20s age group had the fastest mean time. Also just like the men, the vast majority of these top runners were from Georgia. However, it was a higher percentage compared to the men (85% compared to 79%). The fastest state for the women was North Carolina. The 18 women from there had a mean time of 45:54. The North Carolina men also did well. They missed out on the top state by just 25 seconds. I thought perhaps there were some college cross country runners who came together to run the race. But looking at the ages, there are many in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
