Stacey Cleveland (Butterfield), who graduated from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School in 1996, attained very good results at the fourth International Association of Ultra Running Trail Running World Championships in the Conwy Valley in North Wales on July 6.
Cleveland raced with 120 athletes and was the seventh woman overall, as well as the first Canadian and first North American woman to complete the 77-kilometre trail.
She completed the challenging mountain course in a time of 07:12:27, in temperatures that hit a high of 27 C.
This was the second world championship race for the Penticton resident. She also competed last September at the 2012 competition in Temu, Italy.
Her parents, Jim and Rosalyn Butterfield, live at Green Lake.
