All change on the World OCR Rankings for April!
For this month we are seeing a truly international board, with races happening from the USA to Australia. Taking first place for the women is Joanna Hills (AUS, 1), holder of Spartan records, this time earning a 1st place across all three Spartan race distances at the Picton event, countrywomen Calypso Sheridan (AUS, 5), a name we became familiar with across the US last year, joins her in the top 5 for an also impressive performance on the same weekend.
The mens leaderboard is topped by Belgian athlete Thibault Debusschere (BEL, 1) thank to his performances at the Czech & Belgian Championships, where he achieved 1st across the Czech champs, 1st in the 12k, and 1st in the team event at the Czech event.
A familiar name follows in second place, in the form of the impressive ultra runner Joshua Fiore, (USA, 2) who has stepped back into the ring, in April winning both Tough Mudder Infinity in LA and the New Jersey Ultra. With some big Ultra OCR events happening this year, we’ll be keeping our eyes on his performances.
Other notable events were the Strong Viking Series race, which earned Dutch athletes Quinie Verheijen (NL, 4) and Stijn Lagrand (NL, 4) fourth places in our rankings
