On October 2, 2009 this page view race came to an end. As stated previously, Tamara McRill took the Gold Medal. Jennifer Budd came from up from the 6^th spot to capture the Silver Medal.

Kayla Wardlow who led this portion of this race at one point ended up a close 4^th.

Commentary:

Today Tamara McRill took the Gold Medal in the race to 50,000 Page Views. Though she started the contest with a bit of a lead, she seized control of the race from the beginning and never gave an opportunity to surpass her lead. Currently, Jennifer Budd is poised to take the Silver Medal and Christopher Hundley looks like to have his sights on a Bronze Medal. Janet Hunt and M.G. loom in 4^th and 5^th place respectively and could lead a charge down the stretch.

Jennifer Budd continues to lead Tamara in the total page views for the contest period. Tamara is in 2^nd place and trails by 894 page views and Kayla Wardlow is in 3^rd place and she trails Jennifer by 3,309 page views.

There are still no changes at the top in the Race to 50,000 page views. Tamara McRill remains the leader. However, Jennifer Budd has been making a bit of a run and has now past Janet Hunt and moved into 3^rd place. Also Nancy Canfield has moved past Donna Thacker and is now in 6^th place.

Tamara McRill continues her assault on Kayla Wardlow's lead. Kayla now only leads Tamara by just 168 page views. Jennifer Budd is also making noise in the total page views for the contest period. Recently, she commented on the race, by asking if the 4^th place finisher earned an award. The answer to this question is no, but if Jennifer keeps up her fine work she won't feel left out. She has now moved into 3^rd place and trails Kayla by just 1,385 page views. So Jennifer is in 3^rd place in both parts of the contest.

Update Page Views at the end of August 31, 2009

Commentary:

It is beginning to look like Tamara McRill will never surrender her lead in the race to 50,000 page views. As she closes in on this mark, it is beginning to look difficult to forsee any other outcome. Christopher Hundley and Janet Hunt still could catch her, but they will need to have some big page view days and have them soon.

When this contest began, Tamara held the lead in total page views for the contest period for 10 straight updates. On August 5, 2009 she held her biggest lead over Kayla Wardlow by 1,386 page views. However, Kayla Wardlow went on a page view tear and took the lead away from Tamara in total page views for the contest period. She has held this lead for 19 straight updates. On August 21, 2009 she led Tamara by 4,133 page views. However, since that date, Tamara has trimmed that lead to just 1,416 page views. The question is can Kayla regain her hot streak or is Tamara's momentum going to carry the day?
