No one could catch Leonardo Canete or Stephanie Liles-Weyant at the Catfish Crawl

2024 Catfish Crawl 5KExperience must count for something.


It certainly did at the twelfth annual Catfish Crawl 5K in Blountstown, Florida on Saturday morning, 9 November 2024. The first five finishers were all master runners, as were six of the top eight men, eight of the top nine women, and both the overall male and overall female winners. Leading this charge was Leonardo Canete. That Tallahassee, Florida master runner won the annual race for the third year in a row, this time with a winning mark of 17:42. Another Tallahassee master runner, Stephanie Liles-Weyant, won her second straight Catfish Crawl women's title, placing seventh overall in 19:40.


Ryan Kunz, a master runner from Tallahassee, came in runner-up to Canete in 18:43. And Tallahassee master runner Hong-Guo Yu took third in 18:59.


Canete finished with a lead of nearly 300 meters, but the women's race was closer. Just 30 meters behind the winner, Stephanie Liles-Weyant, was Blountstown's Chelsee Carley. Formerly a cross-country runner at Blountstown High and Chipola College, Carley was eighth overall in 19:47. It wasn't Carley's first Catfish Crawl, but it was her fastest. As Chelsee Cook, she had won the 2016 Catfish Crawl women's title in 21:37, and in 2017 she had finished runner-up in 20:01.


Behind Carley, Tallahassee master runner Melanie Leitman was the third woman and seventeenth overall in 21:33.


144 athletes finished the 2024 Catfish Crawl. International Running Company, LLC, chip-timed the race. Look for the thirteenth annual Catfish Crawl in Blountstown on 8 November 2025.
