No trophy for him? Oh, man.
This year's Green Lakes Endurance Run 50K in Fayetteville, N.Y., found itself in an embarrassing spot when it came time to hand out its two awards _ for top finisher and top female finisher _ after Ellie Pell, 27, outran everybody to win it by nearly 8 minutes.
"I felt bad that the first-place man didn't have one," she told Runner's World, "so I tried to convince them to blot out the 'fe' on 'female,' but they said to just keep both trophies."
