After losing three years in a row to Olney, Liberal took back the title
today in the 66th International Pancake Day Race between Liberal, Kansas,
and Olney, England.
Liberal Pancake Day Race, 2015
1st place: Hannah Belton, age 24. Time: 1:09 (one minute, nine seconds)
Belton is a second grade teacher at Southlawn Elementary and the girl¹s
cross country coach at South Middle School in Liberal.
This was her second year to race. She placed 4th last year.
Olney Pancake Race winner was Emma Maitland with a time of 1:15.09
Maitland placed second in last year¹s Olney race to Devon Byrne, who was in
Liberal this year and ran as an honorary racer.
The overall all race record now stands at 37 wins for Liberal and 28 wins
for Olney. (In 1980 the score didn¹t count as a media truck blocked the
finish line in Olney.)
The record time of 55.6 seconds still belong to Devon Byrne, who has won
three years and can no longer race, according to International Pancake Day
Race rules.
