Andy Highlander Wins King Of The Mountain Race

Heather Biebel Overall Women's Winner Saturday On Lookout Mountain

Sunday, May 06, 2012 - by Special To The Chattanoogan.com

Andy Highlander was all alone as he finished first in the King of the Mountain road race on Lookout Mountain Saturday morning.

Highlander, a 24-year-old former UTC standout, covered the hilly four-mile course in 21 minutes, 35 seconds for an average of 5:24 per mile as he defeated runner-up Ryan Shrum by more than three minutes.

Heather Biebel was the female overall winner with a time of 28:21, which was 13th in the field that included 102 finishers.

Dianna Leun and Shrum were the Masters winners with Leun finishing 17th overall in 29:01 while Shrum crossed the line in 24:52.

Perhaps the most intense competition was among the guys who finished third, fourth and fifth overall.

Sean Higgins was third in 25:42, which was two seconds ahead of Kevin Coffman and three seconds ahead of Chas Webb.
