*From the 3/2/08 edition of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “More than 900 people, spaced at 15-second intervals, scaled 1,000 stairs Saturday up most of the 42-story Metropolitan Square building downtown. Called Master the Met, Saturday's competitive stair-climbing fundraiser was sponsored by the American Lung Association. More than $200,000 was collected, said Michelle Bernth, the association's senior vice president of marketing. For most of the contest, participants raced up the stairs for all 42 stories. But about two-thirds of the way through, the race had to be shortened to 40 stories because of objections raised by a tenant at the top of the building, Bernth said. Ryan Humphreys, 25, of St. Charles County, was the overall winner, scaling 42 stories in five minutes, 15 seconds. One climber suffered dehydration while scaling the stairs. But after treatment, the person went on to finish the course, Bernth said. A special segment was conducted in the afternoon for area firefighters, with more than 30 racing up 40 stories of stairs wearing all their gear. Mike Byrne, 28, of the St. Louis Fire Department, clocked the fastest time: 6 minutes, 30 seconds.” Click here to see video of the event.
Overall and agegroup winners in both the 42 and 40 floor events will be mailed award plaques in the next few weeks. Please email Jake Goldsborough with any questions about the results.
Pace is per floor.
