Reference 5

Thank you for thoughtful review and edits!

I saw the failed verification tag on reference five as of the current revision. The full paragraph is as follows: Viewed as a group, their statistics make them look like endurance maniacs. Barney Klecker placed 10th in the 1980 Grandma's Marathon, running the whole race with a broken toe. Mae Horns cracked a toe at 18 miles in the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Race in 1984, but didn't drop out until the 50th mile. Barney arrived late at the Eau Claire Marathon in 1984, started several minutes behind the 129 other runners and won anyway in 2:28:51. While training for the Olympic trials, Janis Klecker suffered a foot injury that would have stopped most competitors. She simply switched to a routine of biking and swimming and ran it anyway.

I'm not sure if this link will work, but that is how I accessed it.

In the clipped Newspaper.com version, it says the article continues on another page so perhaps the information is there. Aschbren (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, the information was on another page and I've amended the ref. Thanks! JTtheOG (talk) 21:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
