It was chilly morning, overcast with a steady drizzle occasionally punctuated with a downpour. In short, it was cross-country weather, a perfect fit for the Bearcat Soccer Jingle Jog 5K cross-country race at
Springhill Christmas Tree Farm outside of Bainbridge, Georgia on 18 December 2010. Bainbridge schoolboy Chase Harris splashed to a win in 21:05, trailed by Cairo's Stephen Robbins (2nd, 22:18) and Caleb Harris (3rd, 22:29) of Bainbridge. Dwayne Evans of Crawfordville, Florida was the top master finisher, placing fourth overall in 24:06. Bainbridge's Erika Pemberton was the first woman in the race, fifth overall in 25:14. The runner-up for the women was Paige Braswell (6th, 26:38), a freshman cross-country runner at Bainbridge High. Bainbridge's Julie Harris was the third woman in and the top woman master, 7th overall in 27:18.
Stephen Robbins went to the front of the field at the start of the race, leading the runners on a short loop around the Christmas tree plantings. But after that first loop Chase Harris had caught Robbins and was the new pacesetter. The runners headed off for two miles in the woods, during which Harris only lengthened his lead. Returning from the woods for the finish Harris had command of the raced and headed home for the win. The women's race developed similarly, with Paige Braswell leading initially, but Erika Pemberton had pulled even by the time the runners were headed for the woods. Pemberton ran away from Braswell in the woods and came back with the win in hand.
The Jingle Bell Jog 5K was a fundraiser for the Bainbridge High School Bearcat soccer team. The race venue, Springhill Christmas Tree Farm, was also the site of the Bearcat Invitational Cross-Country Meet in September, the Fit For Life 5K in March, and the Epic 5K Challenge in October. It's a rural setting, ideal for cross-country, with rolling terrain, grass and dirt surfaces, and views of forests, fields, and ponds. Twelve athletes finished the race. Complete results are below.
