Runners "Think Pink" at Valdosta State

Lowndes High School distance runners Trevor Simmons, Caleb Coil, and Noah Coil took a Saturday morning off from cross country season to run the Think Pink 5K on the Valdosta State University campus. Their performance was the stuff that high school coaches' dreams are made of, with the trio taking three of the first six places. David Holland of rival Valdosta High School was twelfth in 22:28. But this was no cross-country race, and the win went to the Masked Avenger in 18:24, while Sirmans finished runner-up in 19:09. David Turner of Knoxville, Tennessee was the top master finisher, placing 15th overall in 22:59. Valdosta's Gretchen Bielmyer led the women's division with a 23:21, good for 17th overall. Less than a hundred meters back, Angel Godwin of Valdosta was the women's runner-up, 20th overall in 23:35. The fastest woman master in the race was Valdosta's Stephanie Moss (35th, 26:32).


255 athletes finished the Think Pink 5K making it one of the largest races in Valdosta. The race is an annual affair of the Eta Iota chapter of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority at Valdosta State University. ZTAs across the nation are active in the fight against breast cancer, and ZTA of VSU hosts the Think Pink 5K during Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a breast cancer fundraiser.
