Jamie Chandler, Milton High School girl’s junior track team captain, ate her burrito (1.2 lbs) in 2:03 and then ran a 6:09.9 mile to set a new women’s WR for the Burrito Mile in 8:12.9. The time broke the old record by 9.1 seconds!
It was a clear and dry day, low 70’s and no wind. Jamie began eating a full 36 seconds ahead of male challenger, junior Mitchell Foley as the inter-squad relay of 400m legs (19 legs) finished as the anchor runners on each of the 2 teams ran with the burrito on their final leg and then delivered the burritos to the consumption zone and the waiting burrathletes. Mitchell, already starting behind, ate his burrito in 2:18 knowing his superior mile time might be enough to catch Jamie. As the mile progressed Jamie began to slow and Mitchell was gaining ground with every step! Jamie entered the final stretch with about a 10 second lead and Mitchell bore down but came up just short of catching Jamie and Jamie’s relay team, Team Licious was victorious by a scant 3.2 seconds after 9200 meters (5.75 miles) of racing! Mitchell’s mile of 5:22.4 was his second fastest mile of his track season but was not enough for his team, Team Squirtel, to be victorious.

"This is for the US!" Palmer exclaimed after breaking the record.
The Frenchman Alex Prevost was trying to claim the record for France. It marked the first time in burrito mile history that international implications came in to play. Competing were representatives from the United States, Chile, France, Mexico, and Austria.
Prevost struggled to scarf down his burrito, but Nick Latourette came up big for the French. A non-runner, Latourette devoured his regulation-size Chipotle burrito in 52 seconds before running a 6:50 mile. His time of 7:42 was good for 3rd place.
Dylan Straughan of Chile also had a respectable showing, eating in about 2:32 and running a 4:45 mile for a 2nd place performance in 7:17.83.
Hundreds of people showed up to compete and cheer on the burrathletes, who came from several states. And mainsteam media even got into it. The event was featured in a report on Fox 5.

With several hundred people interested in competing, and hundreds of people expected as spectators, Qdoba will be providing at least 300 burritos to the meet organizers free of charge. This means that 100% of the profit will go to charity.

So here it is! More features will be coming.
WOW! Cedric Dana shatters World Record by over 20 seconds in the Burrito Mile in a time of 6:37.49.
Ian Chow of Team Facial, a team made up entirely of non-runners, chomped down his burrito in an amazing 35 seconds. Ian struggled with the running aspect, however, and Cedric Dana easily caught him after eating his burrito in 55 seconds.
Dana was on the winning 4 x 8urrito, which obliterated the old world record set on June 3 of last year. That record was 21:46 by WJ4×8StateChamps . Today’s winning 4×8urrito BROKE THAT RECORD BY OVER 5:30 in a time of 16:12.
Cedric Dana now owns a Triple Crown, with world records in the 1-burrito mile, the elite 2-burrito mile, and the 4×8urrito.
Veronica Salcido smashed the female world record which was formerly held by Brielle Dana, Cedric Dana’s sister. Salcido’s mark of 8:22 bested the previous record by 1:24.
Maryland showed that they are pros when it comes to pulling this event off. Thanks to event organizer Rafi Moersen, this group from Maryland continues to pioneer the burritolympic games.

Walter Johnson High School raised $1,750 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with Saturday’s Burrito Mile. Several T-shirts were sold and the Qdoba restaurant, who catered the event, sold out of all 300 burritos that they brought. Roughly one hundred people participated in 4 different races and at least one hundred more showed up to watch the festivities.
The highlight of the day was the brother-sister combination of Cedric and Brielle Dana each winning their respective races. Cedric, a senior at Wootton High School, won the elite 2-burrito mile in a time of 10:03. This race required participants to devour not one, but two 1.5 lb burritos before racing a mile. Cedric split right around five minutes for the eating and five minutes for the running to beat the next closest competitor by over a minute and a half.
Cedric convinced his older sister Brielle to participate in the open burrito mile. Brielle, a student at the University of Maryland, finished off her burrito in 3:00. She followed this up with a 6:46 mile to set the women’s burrito mile world record in a time of 9:46.
The fastest burrito mile time of the day came from Andrew Palmer, a freshman from Whitman High School. He ate his burrito in 2:38 and ran a 4:53 mile to set the men’s world record in 7:31.
The most impressive eater of the day was Ian Chow, who finished his burrito in 1:24. Unfortunately, Chow is not as gifted with the running aspect and fell several minutes behind Brielle Dana in the open race.
