Lowndes harriers Rogers and Morse get wins at Quail Trail Invite

Quail Trail InvitationalCall it the Thomasville High Invitational, or call it the Quail Trail Invitational, or cover all bases and call it the Thomasville High Quail Trail Invitational. The name keeps changing, but since 2009 it has been consistent that on the final Saturday of September, Thomasville High hosts a large cross-country meet at Pebble Hill Plantation, just south of Thomasville, Georgia. The course is also consistent, a mix of meadow and forest and magnolia-lined avenues and red clay hills. But isn't that a recipe for cross country?


After a community race, the sixth annual Invitational got started at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning, 27 September 2014, with the high school girls 5K. Lowndes High sophmore Mackenzie Morse won that race, running 20:39 to pick up her fourth win of the season. Lowndes also picked up second place, with frosh Makenzee Page running 21:27. Rebekah Smith, a junior from host school Thomasville, placed third in 21:56.


Having the first two runners wasn't enough to get Lowndes to the top of the team standings, though. Tift County answered with three runners in the top ten--sophomore Sloan Fletcher (4th, 22:48), junior Madison Honeycutt (8th, 23:12), and frosh Ashlee Golden (9th, 23:12). The next two Tift girls, seniors Blakeley Bergeron (11th, 23:37) and Sarah Willis (16th, 23:50), finished before Lowndes' fourth scorer, giving Tift 47 points and the team title. Lowndes was second with 69 points and Valdosta edged Thomasville for third in the 14-team field, 104 to 106.

In the next race, the Lowndes boys did the Lowndes girls one better by taking the first three places. Dylan Rogers won the race in 17:22, followed by runner-up Chance Roe in 17:30, with third-place occupied by Andrew Elam in 17:38. All three runners were Lowndes juniors. The first non-Lowndes runner in the race was Rickards junior Solomon Stevens. Up from Tallahassee, Florida, Stevens was fourth in 17:48. Rickards had three runners in the top ten, but once freshman Elijah Boyd (12th, 18:26) and junior Will Smith (13th, 18:27) came home for Lowndes, the team competition was over. Lowndes had 31 points, winning their first boys' team title ever at Quail Trail. Rickards went home to Tallahassee with second place, and Thomas County Central was third with 129.


A few of these teams will be back at Pebble Hill Plantation on Wednesday morning, 29 October 2014, when Thomasville High hosts the GHSA Region 1-2A championship meet.

2014 was the third year in the Quail Trail middle school boys' race for Bainbridge's Caleb Harris, It was the eighth-graders first Quail Trail win, though, as Harris blew away the field with a 10:35. It was his fifth win in five races this season, with earlier wins coming at the Pelham Hornet Invitational, the Cougar Challenge, the Lee County Invitational, and the Bearcat Invitational.


Behind Harris, Carson Locke of the Viking Runners Club was runner-up at 11:22, and Holy Comforter's Bryce Valveri edged Bryce Stephens of Tift for third, 11:29 to 11:30.

Rogers and Page rule the roads in Valdosta on Memorial Day

FlagsYouth led the way at Valdosta's sixth annual Memorial Day 5K on Monday morning, 26 May 2014. One specific youth, Lowndes High rising sophomore Dylan Rogers, led everyone, winning the 3.1-mile race in 17:26. Not far behind him, two other Lowndes High cross-country runners battled for second--graduating senior Jadon Long and rising junior Andrew Elam. Long slid in ahead of Elam, 17:35 to 17:37. Valdosta High rising sophomore Matthew Baun followed them across the finish line, placing fourth in 17:44. Ryan Kelly was the first finisher to have voted in a presidential election, coming in fifth in 17:58. The race's fastest master runner was Rick Mazurkiewicz of Valdosta, ninth in 20:24.


Incoming freshman Makenzee Page kept the youth theme going on the women's side. Running 22:01, more than four minutes faster than she clocked in the 2013 Memorial Day 5K, Page was the first female in the race, placing 16th overall. Ali Thornhill was runner-up in the women's standings, placing 17th overall in 22:14. Melanie Ellis of Valdosta was the third woman finisher and top woman master, 21st overall in 23:13.


92 athletes finished the 2014 Valdosta Memorial Day 5K. The runners also donated 113 pounds of food to Second Harvest of South Georgia.

Rogers and Morse finish in front of some colorful competition

I can imagine a series of careful calculations going into Valdosta, Georgia's Pine Grove Middle School's plans for the Color-Me-Viking 5K.


Let's put on a run. What's the most popular distance? 5K? Okay, we'll do one of those.


Trail runs are big right now. We'll run cross-country behind the school on Pine Grove Farm.


Color runs are hot. Let's make it a color run.


That conference only exists in my imagination. But when Pine Grove Middle had about 200 people finish their first-year race on 22 February 2014, it was the size of crowd that made you suspect there had been some market research. The fastest of the crowd was Dylan Rogers, a freshman member of the cross-country team at Lowndes High School. Rogers ran 18:25 over the 3.1-mile course. Nathan Crews, another runner on the Lowndes High cross-country squad, finished runner-up in 18:57. Elijah Boyd was third in 19:46.


Kelsey Morse was the first female finisher, coming in eighth overall in 21:18. A seventh grader, Kelsey Morse competes for the Viking Runners Club. Another Morse, Mackenzie, was second in the women's standings, placing tenth overall in 21:28. Mackenzie Morse just finished her freshman cross-country season running for Lowndes High School. Viking Runner Katelyn Stecz (25th, 24:20) placed third on the women's side, just edging out her teammate Destiny Roe (26th, 24:20)


Despite of all the youth up front, there were also some older runners in the race. Valdosta's Jeremy Storey was the top male master, placing 13th overall in 21:48. Angel Godwin was the fastest master woman, 55th overall in 27:27.


Proceeds from the race went to benefit the athletic department of Pine Grove Middle School.
