Thursday morning wins for Droze and Cox at FSECC 5K

Thursday isn't a typical day for a road race, but that didn't discourage about 400 athletes from turning out in the Southwood district of Tallahassee, Florida, on Thursday morning, 31 October 2013, for the 13th annual Florida State Employees Charitable Campaign 5K. Gary Droze and Renee Cox certainly weren't deterred. Droze, the cross-country coach at Maclay School, won the race in 16:56, while Cox was the first female finisher, placing tenth overall in 20:09.


The race started in the middle of the state office complex on Esplanade Way just after 8:30 AM. By half a mile into the 3.1-mile run, during a long climb up the hill on Merchants Row Boulevard, three runners were out in front of the rest of the field. Tallahassee master runner Michael Martinez was one of the three, and 2011 FSECC 5K champion Gary Droze was another. The third was an unfamiliar kinky-haired runner in Dolfin shorts that looked more than anything like an apparition from the pages of a 1977 copy of Runner's World. Closer inspection revealed that he wasn't a member of the Boogie Nights Track Club. It was the FSECC 5K defending champion, Bryan Koon, wearing a wig and a somewhat dated running outfit. The race was being run on Halloween, after all.


After topping the hill, Droze and Koon dropped Martinez while running through the Southwood Town Center. Droze was able to lose the bewigged Koon on the way down from the Town Center to the Central Park Lake.


"The wig did add some air resistance," admitted Koon after the race.


By the halfway point Droze was in control of the race, and stayed that way through the second half, reaching the finish line first in 16:56. Martinez closed on Koon during the second half of the race, but Koon held on to second place with a 17:22. Martinez was third in 17:26.


The first three men had all been master runners, but youth ruled on the women's side, starting with the 26-year-old women's champion, Renee Cox. Running with a touch of the flu, Cox led the women's field for nearly the entire race to finish as first female in 20:09. Juanita Chalmers overtook two-time FSECC 5K women's champion, Brook Pace, during the second half of the race to take the women's runner-up spot, finishing 14th overall in 21:34. Pace was close behind in 15th at 21:39.

Ancient mounds and young runners at Kolomoki

The home cross-country course of Early County High School in Blakely, Georgia is probably the oldest in the state. The Bobcats race at Kolomoki Mounds State Park, which archaeologists have concluded was first inhabited 3,000 years ago. The temple mound complex in the park is only about half that age, but that's still pretty old. Obviously, the Bobcats haven't been running there all that time, but the mounds still make an impressive background for athletics--it's like running by Stonehenge, or the Pyramids, or the Athenian Parthenon. And it also doesn't take much imagination to picture native American races around the plaza in some bygone century.


On Tuesday morning, 29 October 2013, though, it was a more contemporary group of athletes competing in the shadows of the mounds when Early County hosted the GHSA Region 1-AA cross-country championships.


Racing opened at 10:30 AM with the girls' 5K race. Thomasville High senior Rachel Smith led the 41 athletes from six school away from park headquarters and out onto the plaza. The defending Region 1 champion, Smith's lead went unchallenged throughout the 3.1-mile run, and she won her second straight regional title in 21:05. Berrien County junior Emily Boyd was second in 21:46, and Pelham freshman Monica Webb took third in 22:33. After that it was all Thomasville, with Rebekah Smith (4th, 22:45), Jacara Hayes (5th, 22:57), Mareike Haaren (6th, 23:08), and Rebecca-Jane White (7th, 23:30) giving the Bulldogs a team total of 23 points and their sixth Region 1 win in the past six years. Pelham was second with 54 points, Berrien County third with 74, and Cook County fourth with 101. The top four teams advanced to the GHSA state championships in Carrollton on 9 November 2013. For everyone else, the season was over.

10. 24:26.59 ~ Harley Paulk (Cook County) 10

The boys' 5K followed at 11:00 AM. Once again it was a defending champion taking the lead, as Pelham senior Guthrie Edwards charged to the front. Thomasville's Will White led the pursuit, and by the halfway mark Travet Witherspoon of Thomasville had moved into third. Those three athletes held their positions through the second half of the race, and Edwards won his second straight region title, running 17:12. White was runner-up in 17:30, and Witherspoon placed third in 18:20. Edwards and Witherspoon were soon joined by Thomasville runners Andrew Jackson (4th, 18:37), Ian Ward (7th, 18:44), and Neil White (9th, 19:18), giving the Bulldogs the Region 1 team title with a mathematically unbeatable score of 25 points. The win qualified Thomasville for the state championships. The other qualifiers were Berrien County (second with 72 points), Cook County (third with 88 points), and Fitzgerald (fourth with 103 points). Pelham's Edwards qualified as an individual. The rest of the field would have to wait till next year.

Tallahassee's top 5K road performances for 2013 (through October)

Not infrequently, someone wonders aloud--what was the fastest 5K time ever run on the Tallahassee roads? You won't find any shortage of folks willing to venture an opinion, but it isn't an easy question to answer. Even today, many races fail to publish their results, and the farther back in time you go the harder it is to come by records. I know that my research has failed to turn up all the winning times for the Palace Saloon 5K going back to the first race in 1975. Some races known for fast performances don't exist anymore, and even the older runners have begun to forget them. The Reservation Run 5K, the Braun's Octoberfest 5K, and the Budweiser 5,000 come to mind.


There's also the question of course accuracy. Was that fast time from 1983 really a 5K, or something short of a 5K? The best way to deal with the accuracy issue is to only consider times run on course with USATF certification. It's easy enough to look up whether or not a current course is USATF certified, but good luck on figuring out the certification status of that 1983 race.


It would be nice to just shrug it off. Who cares? After all, Tallahassee's fastest road 5K wouldn't make the list of the top 20 performances at the Mike Long Track. Road courses are also quite different from each other. Is it fair to compare the net downhill Springtime 5K with the Run For The Cookies 5K, where there is no net change in elevation? Would the answer to the question really be meaningful?


People do care, though. If they didn't, the question wouldn't come up so often.


We may never have an answer because of the variable quality of record keeping over the years. It would be easy to figure out if some fan of running statistics had kept up with the top annual performances, year by year.


I can't change the fact that we can't look up Tallahassee's top 5K performances for 1983, but I can see that the top 5K performances for 2013 are available. And here they are, through the most recent local 5K race on a certified course, the Tallahassee Women's Distance Festival 5K on 14 September 2013. Times are limited to sub-17:00 for men and sub-20:00 for women, which more than captured the top ten performers for each. This isn't complete. The FSECC 5K is coming up on 31 October 2013 and Gulf Winds Track Club's Tallahassee Turkey Trot 5K on 28 November 2013. But now you'll know what time to shoot for at those races.
