Another feather in the cap for Kelly and Page at Soaring Eagle 5K

Bald EagleAt the 2015 Soaring Eagle 5K, defending champions and course record holders Ryan Kelly and Makenzee Page didn't run as fast as they had the previous year. They didn't have to. On Saturday morning, 17 January 2015, Kelly won the fourth annual race in the streets of Adel, Georgia, covering the 3.1 miles in 18:00. Makenzee Page finished on top of the women's standings for the second year in a row, finishing fifth overall in 20:55. 86 athletes finished the race hosted by the Adel Community Christian Academy.


Kelly especially did not have to run any faster than 18:00; he crossed the finish line more than 300 meters ahead of the next runner. Lowndes High sophomore cross-country runner Daniel Swilley took the runner-up spot, while another cross-country runner, Cook High junior Nick Rosatti, placed third, running 19:47. Valdosta's Rick Mazurkiewicz was the top master runner in the Soaring Eagle 5K, finishing fourth overall in 19:54.


The women's competition was closer up front, but Lowndes High frosh Makenzee Page still finished with a convincing 20:55 to 21:02 winner over women's runner-up Allison Thornhill. Page and Thornhill were fifth and sixth in the overall standings. The third woman finisher and first woman master was Martha Mazurkiewicz of Valdosta, 11th overall in 24:18.
