Liz McClurg

In her rookie year as an MLE eater, Ms McClurg won the Ladies division of the 2015 Cleveland, OH, Nathan's Famous Qualifier with 8.5 Hot Dogs & Buns in 10 minutes on debut. At the 2015 Nathan's Famous finals in Coney Island, Ms McClurg ate 8.5 Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs & Buns in 10 minutes. To date, she has eaten in sanctioned competition twice, both times eating 8.5 HDBs. Let's do the math to calculate her average HDB performance. Event 1, 8.5; Plus Event 2, 8.5 equals Total Consumption of 17 HDBs. Now, stick with us here: Take that total of 17 HDBs, Divide that by 2 Events, and, yep, it Equals 8.5. QED. She works in the field of higher education, which is noble, though not as noble as caring for the infirm or fighting an injustice through an effective and relentless letter-writing campaign. But it's still noble.
