Roe and Morse take titles in Titletown 5K

Titletown Track ClubTwo athletes ran neck and neck down the final stretch of the 3.1-mile road race, leading a field of 89. At the finish line, Lowndes High freshman Chance Roe eked out a 17:42 to 17:43 win over Valdosta State University freshman Nathinael Wondimu. It was Valdosta's inaugural Titletown 5K on Saturday morning, 27 April 2013. A good 200 meters behind Roe and Wondimu, Ryan Winkel, a teammate of Wondimu on the VSU cross-country team, finished third in 18:27. Another VSU Blazer, Carlos Ponce, was fourth in 18:33. Matthew Baun of St. John Catholic School was fifth in 19:08, and Valdosta High School's Milo Mirate was sixth at 21:19. Eighth place went to the fastest master in the race, Michael Baun of Valdosta, who ran 21:19.


Preceding the elder Baun across the finish line was ten-year-old Kelsey Morse, the top female in the 2013 Titletown 5K. Placing seventh overall in 21:27, Morse led a sweep of the first three female spots in the race by members of Valdosta's Viking Runners Club. Eryn Wilkely (9th, 22:24) of the Vikings was the second female finisher, and the Vikings' Mackenzie Morse (11th, 22:36) was the third. After the Viking assault on the finish line, Valdosta's Alice Smoot came in 15th overall in 22:55, the fourth female finisher and first master woman.


Proceeds of the Titletown Track Club 5K went to benefit the cross-country programs of Valdosta Middle School. Valdosta MS cross-country coach Ryan Kelly directed the race.
