Meredith and Hough run away with Anchors Away

Anchors Aweigh 6KOn Saturday morning, 27 June 2015, a light summer rain was falling on the Panama City Beach, Florida, Conservation Park. But it wasn't enough of a shower to discourage 89 athletes from showing up for the 4th annual Anchors Away 6K on Gayle's Trails. Nor was it enough to dampen the performance of Bellarmine University Knight distance runner Samuel Meredith. Meredith won the race by 700 meters, setting a new event record of 20:55. The old record was 22:15, run in 2012 at the inaugural Anchors Away 6K by Ryan Lutes.


Sam Meredith was the top master in the 3.73-mile race, finishing runner-up in 23:41. Corey Gardner came in third at 26:12.


Tracie Hough took the women's title in the Anchors Away 6K, placing seventh overall in 29:00. Right behind Hough, Jennifer Suewho was the top woman master and second female finisher, eighth overall in 29:16. Another master runner, Rebecca McConell, was third in the women's standings, coming in ninth overall in 29:41.


The Anchors Away 6K and associated one-mile family fun run were a fundraiser benefiting Anchorage Children's Home.
