- The race has to be in Tallahassee (anywhere in Leon County is fine)
- The race has to be run on a USATF certified course
- The race has to have published results
- I have to see the results
The 2-1-1 Big Bend 5K meets those standards, so Justin Martin's 16:55 gets him a #7 ranking, and Emily Ness is at #4 on the women's list with her 18:44.
The big action, though, was on the Tallahassee Community College campus at the Run For The Cookies. There was a new course for the race this year, and Stanley Linton sped around it to record a career-best 15:24. Linton is still the only runner under 16:00 in Tallahassee this year, and his 15:24 is faster than Kevin Sullivan's 15:28 that led the final 2013 list. 15:24 is probably the fastest 5K on the Tallahassee roads since Kevin Sullivan went 15:00 at the Women's Distance Festival in 2011. It's going to be a fast year in Tallahassee. It already is.
Carly Thomas' 17:54 at the Run For The Cookie makes her the first woman under 18:00 in Tallahassee this year. Emily Ness' 18:44 led the women's list for a week, but Thomas, Teresa Riston (18:30), and Kaitlyn Kelly (18:43) each eclipsed that mark at the Cookie Run. It was an especially fast race on the women's side, eight of the top ten women performers on the list were there. Only Ness and Lisa Johnson remain in the top ten without times from Run For The Cookies.The Run For The Cookies was also tough on the master runners in the standings. On the men's list Michael Martinez is the only master runner left clinging (just barely) to the top ten. There are no master runners left in the women's top ten. The top-ranked woman master on the list is Mary Anne Grayson; her 21:14 at Run For The Cookies puts her at #22.
I expect another big shake up at the Palace Saloon 5K on 12 April 2014. That's not to say we couldn't see fast times earlier at the Thomasville Road Baptist Church 5K on 1 March 2014 or the Shamrock Scurry 5K on 8 March 2014. I rather hope we do.
