Mary Alice Smoot's 19:48 is a new mark in the Valdosta Labor Day 5K

Labor DayMatthew Baun has started his freshman season of cross-country at Valdosta High School, and Mary Alice Smoot has started her senior season of cross-country at Valwood School. Nevertheless, both harriers took some time away from the trails to score wins at Valdosta's fifth annual Labor Day 5K on Monday, 2 September 2013.


Baun was the overall winner, finding a way to beat Ryan Kelly after losing to the Valdosta Middle School cross-country coach 16 days earlier at the "Cross-Country Is Fun!" 5K in Valdosta. Shrugging off the results of that earlier race, Baun won the Labor Day 5K in 18:15, while Kelly finished second-best in 18:24. Mary Alice Smoot was third across the finish line, taking the women's title and establishing a new women's record of 19:48 for the Labor Day race.


Valdosta runner Tom Phillips was the fastest master runner in the race, coming in fourth overall in 20:45. Alice Smoot of Valdosta was the top master woman, running 21:53 to finish third in the female standings behind Mary Alice Smoot and ten-year-old Kelsey Morse (7th, 21:33).


89 athletes finished the race. Finish line and timing services were provided by A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia.
