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.
