“Cassoday, Kansas, October 11. Amy Palmiero-Winters, a below-the-knee amputee, was the women’s winner at the 10th Annual Heartland “Spirit of the Prairie” 100 Mile Endurance Run. Palmiero-Winters, a 37-year-old mother of two, posted the second fastest time in race history and became the first woman amputee to finish a 100-mile run. Running on a customized running prosthesis specifically designed by A Step Ahead Prosthetics in Hicksville, N.Y. to handle the demands of trail running, she finished 23 minutes ahead of runner-up Susan Lance of Whitesburg, Georgia.
Jess McNeely edged fellow Wichitan Scott Hill for the overall victory. The Heartland course is out and back on rolling dirt roads with a total of 6000 feet of elevation gain. Of the 61 starters, 41 finished within the 30-hour time limit.”
