Whitehead and Cauthen reap victory at the Harvest Run

The Thanksgiving holiday in the United States is at least in part a harvest festival, so it was entirely appropriate to hold Leesburg, Georgia's second annual Harvest Run on Thanksgiving morning--Thursday, 26 November 2015. Darton State professor Patrick Whitehead won the Harvest Run 10K in 36:11, finishing the 6.2-mile race more than 600 meters ahead of the next runner. Allison Cauthen was the women's champ, placing tenth overall in 47:58. Westover Middle School eighth-grade cross country runner Henry Plowden won the 5K in 18:46. Another eighth grader, Southland Academy's Ryleigh Bell, took the women's title, finishing seventh overall in 22:09.


Behind Whitehead in the 10K, Dan Moffitt took second in 38:37. Dennis Moore was the fastest master runner, placing third overall in 41:12. On the women's side, Jennifer Romano was the top master runner and second female finisher, coming in twelfth overall in 48:14. Jody Hays was third in the women's standings, fifteenth overall in 50:41.


In the 5K, Southland Academy alum Alex Arnold was second to Plowden, running 19:32. Jordan Jones was third in the shorter race at 20:41. Ken Parker was the top master, coming in sixth overall in 21:26. The women's runner-up in the 5K was Ansley Cain, a junior on the Lee County High cross country team. Cain was fourteenth overall in 24:04. Westover High junior Janie Plowden was third in the women's standings, sixteenth overall in 24:25. The top woman master and fourth female finisher was Guna Gunawan, 22nd overall in 25:04.
