11th AVERAGE JO TRIATHLON - Casey Miller picked up his 6th career win in Perham last Saturday at the 11th annual Average Jo Triathlon. A Rookie fo the Year nominee in 2013, the year he placed 2nd here, Casey also won this race in 2014. That year he covered the .3-12-4 course 2:01 ahead  of runner-up Branden Scheel of Fargo. This year's margin was smaller (1:12) and required that he significantly outsplit eventual 2nd placer Ryan Wippler, who won his first career multi at Lakes to Pines on June 13. 2013 winner Tyler Zima (Fargo) took 3rd with Scheel, a perennial top fiver...

Former North Dakotan who now lives and works in Colorado Springs, Kierann Smith Toth dominated the women's race. Her 1:10:25 was the fastest women's time in the history of the event and her margin over 2nd place finisher, Margaret Nigg, was 2:24. Rounding out the Top 3 was Hannah Pierskalla of Pittsburgh, PA.

According to Smith Toth's Facebook page, "Uncle Buck" is one of her favorite movies and she's sad the "The Office" was cancelled. "Dove" is her favorite soap.

Margaret "Margie" Nigg has good grooming habits and loves dogs a lot. RESULTS
