From the Capital-Gazette:
Three years ago, Maria "Nica" Shields of Davidsonville set her sights on setting a world record. Nica, who is 68, wanted to break a record set back in 1989 by Francoise Lamothe – namely the 12-hour world record of 100.177 kilometers (62.260 miles).

Shields got her chance at the Dawn to Dusk
to Dawn Ultra (D3). The D3, held in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania at the Academy
Park High School 400-meter track, is ideal for setting records.
On May 11, 2019, Shields ran 100.224
kilometers or 62.276 miles, which was her best 12-hour distance in several
years and thereby achieved her goal.
Congratulations to Maria on
another great accomplishment and inspiring others to get out there and reach
their goals!You can read several previous articles about Maria by typing her name in the SEARCH box at the upper left of the opening screen.
