Male and Female Overall Winners by Year: 2-mile Cable Swim

The following table lists the top male and top female swimmer in the 2-mile cable swim for every year from 1981 until now. Full results are also available: go to the Results page and type “Chris Greene” in the Search box.

On the men’s side, James Kegley and Chris Stevenson have each won six times, while for the women Katrina Poplawski has triumphed seven times (once as Katrina Sukduang). The 2016 race was clearly one for the ages (or the aged): the two winners that year — Rob Jones at 51 and Shirley Loftus-Charley at 64 — remain the oldest overall winners in any year. The woman’s winner has beat her male counterpart on five occasions: Deborah Cain in 1983 and 1984, Debbie Reed in 2002, and Abby Nunn in 2009 and 2011.
