Tallahassee's top 5K road times in 2018 (through April 21)

Tallahassee has a new top road 5K performance for the year after Saturday morning, 21 April 2018, and Gulf Winds Track Club's 44th annual Palace Saloon Road Race. Justin Garrard won that race in 15:15, exactly a minute faster than the previous best for 2018. On the women's side, there's a new number two performance; the 18:05 that Ani Veltcheva ran at the Palace Saloon.

The Palace Saloon 5K has always been a rankings-wrecker of a race, and this year's event was no exception. If you look at the men's top 25, all of the top three times were run at the Palace and four of the top five. Garrard's 15:15 is number one, Chris Haynes is second on the list with his 15:21 from the Palace, Andrew Smith's Palace time of 15:52 puts him third on the list, and Caleb Carmichael went 16:33 at the Palace to rank fifth in the men's top 25. In all, fifteen of the top 25 men are ranked because of their performance at the Palace Saloon 5K.

In the women's rankings, Adriana Piekarewicz still leads with the 17:59 she posted at the Run For The Cookies 5K. But Ani Veltcheva moves into second with her 18:05 at the Palace, her first race on the Tallahassee roads this year. Veltcheva has Tallahassee's top road 5K on the women's list in 2017, a 17:35 at the Run For The Cookies. Ann Centner also made her first appearance on Tallahassee's 2018 road 5K rankings, debuting at fourth with her Palace time of 18:28. Sheryl Rosen took two ticks off her best time of the year, running 18:45 at the Palace. Rosen is fifth on the women's list. Lauren Poulos (7th, 19:30), Jamila Allen (12th, 20:32), Amanda Sava (15th, 21:02), Corinne Porcher (20th, 21:29), and Elisha Boggs (23rd, 21:41) also hold spots in the women's rankings on the basis of their Palace Saloon 5K times.

In spite of master runner Tony Guillen's 18:03 at the Palace, Carter Hay continues to hold the top master runner spot on the men's list with the 18:00 he posted at the Run For The Cookies 5K on 10 February 2018. Going into the Palace Saloon 5K, Corinne Porcher was the top master runner on the women's list, ranked 24th on the basis of the 22:30 she ran at the Shamrock Scurry 5K on 3 March 2018. Master runner Elisha Boggs ran 21:41 at the Palace, challenging Porcher's position as top master. However, Porcher had already finished the Palace, running 21:29. 20th on the list, she's still Tallahassee's leading woman master in the road 5K for 2018.

The Palace Saloon 5K traditionally showcases quality athletes running quality performances, and 2018 upheld that tradition. That's not to say, though, that someone couldn't put up a ranking-wrecker of a time at another Tallahassee 5K on a USATF-certified course. It could happen at any race meeting these criteria:
  • 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 next such race is the fifth annual Nene Fest 5K in Indianhead Acres on Saturday morning, 28 April 2018. While we're waiting to see how that event impacts the rankings, here are the current lists:
