"I went out pretty hard," Clift recalled after the race.
He did indeed, charging to the front of the field almost immediately after the start. Crossing Landis Green, as the runners came up on 800 meters, Clift was the clear leader, with Jeff Hoh a few steps back in second. Clift was still leading when the runners hit the 1600-meter mark, near the crest of Gallows Hill, but Hoh had fallen back and Roger Schmidt had taken over the second position. Brian Manry had moved up to third, so Capital City Runners athletes held the top three places.
As in the previous year's Fishnet 5K, Renee Cox was just the fastest woman in the race, finishing nearly half a kilometer ahead of the next female racer. 20:55 wasn't quite as fast as she had run in the 2013 Fishnet 5K, but Cox still led the women's field from the start and never had to look back. Behind Cox, Tallahassee master runner Paula O'Neill got an early grip on the second woman's spot. The third position, however, was in constant contention. Late in the race, though, Sara Niehaus darted ahead to take third in the women's standings, placing 23rd overall in 24:00.
