Oak Harbor's Megan Hall, an ultra runner, recently completed two record-setting performances.

Oct. 13 she won the female division and finished third overall in the Defiance 50K in a course record 4:18.41 at Point Defiance in Tacoma.

Last weekend Hall placed second among females and sixth overall in the Pinhoti 100 at Helfin, Ala. Again she set a course record at 20:16 and cut three hours off her last 100-race time.

Her efforts earned her a free entry into the Western States Endurance Run in June.

Hall, 23, is the coach of the North Whidbey Running Club.
