In the Bainbridge YMCA's Veteran's Day Classic 10K on 12 November 2011, three women from Florida State University took three of the four top spots in the race including first. Jackie Drouin put the hammer down to record a 35:46 for the win, Astrid Leutert was second in 36:10, and Jennifer Dunn grabbed fourth with a 37:18. Mark McLeod of South Georgia College was the only runner to crack the female monopoly on the top four spots, placing third in 37:07. Tallahassee's David Yon was the fastest master finisher, fifteenth overall in 41:32. 20th overall in 46:14, Paula O'Neill of Tallahassee was the first female master.
Sunlight glistened on frosty roofs the morning of the race. The runners started by circling the Bainbridge College perimeter road. About one kilometer into the 10K, the leaders missed a turn, and Keith Gates and Michael Kennett found themselves briefly out front as the fastest runners who actually knew the course. The field sorted itself out again, and at the halfway point Florida State University runners Jackie Drouin and Astrid Leutert were leading, a replay of their duel two months earlier at the Tallahassee Women's Distance Festival 5K. Mark McLeod of South Georgia College followed them in third, with Chase Harris of Bainbridge's Grace Christian Academy in fourth.
Drouin broke away from Leutert on the sixth kilometer, then ran home for a 35:46 win. Leutert held on to the runner-up spot in 36:10. Mark McLeod was third in 37:07. Behind him but closing in was Florida State's Jennifer Dunn. Dunn passed Harris on the return trip to Bainbridge College, but never quite caught McLeod. She placed fourth in 37:18. Harris was fifth in 37:46.Results, 2011 Bainbridge YMCA Veteran's Day Classic 10K
