Carmichael finishes frighteningly far ahead at Trick-or-Trot 5K

Caleb CarmichealMore than a few people wore costumes in the Tallahassee YMCA's sixth annual Trick Or Trot 5K in Southwood on Friday evening, 28 October 2011. Some people came as Batman, or as a Dr. Seuss character, or a Disney character, or a pirate, or a monster, or an animal. Caleb Carmichael didn't wear a costume, but he came as his competitors worst nightmare. Carmichael, a University of West Florida assistant cross-country coach, jumped out into the lead and then got farther and farther ahead, ultimately winning by nearly 400 meters in 16:27. Grady Smith was a distant second in 17:49, followed by Peter Kaus in 18:13. Jay Silvanima was the top male master in the field, placing 8th overall in 21:16.


Nancy StedmanThe top master and the top finisher were one and the same in the women's division, with Tallahassee's Nancy Stedman placing 13th overall in 22:18 to finish as the first female. Florida State University School cross-country runners Savana Osterbye and Sydney Earp ran 23:39 and 23:57 to finish as the second and third females respectively. Less than two hours earlier, Osterbye and Earp had each run a 5K cross-country race with the FSUS team on the north side of town. Some people just don't know when to stop.


The sixth annual Trick-or-Trot 5K was run on a USATF certified course (FL10091EBM) through Tallahassee's Southwood community. In previous years the race had been held on a Saturday morning; this time around it was run on a Friday evening with a 6:00PM starting time. The change didn't seem to hurt race attendance at all.
