DeVeau and Churchill win the 2015 Trail Series opener

Zach DeVeau, Alyson ChurchillSeven days after a road trip to Eglin Air Force Base to win the 30th annual Gate-to-Gate 4.4-Mile, Zach DeVeau was back racing at home in Tallahassee, Florida. There, in Tom Brown Park, DeVeau turned a winning 39:15 for five-and-a-half rugged miles on the Cadillac Trail on Saturday morning, 30 May 2015. Gulf Winds Track Club's Summer Trail Series had returned to Tallahassee, Florida, for a third straight year. DeVeau had just won the first event of the four-race circuit.


It was DeVeau's first Summer Trail Series race, but that wasn't the case for Greg Bargo. Bargo had finished runner-up in the 2014 Cadillac Trail Run, and placed second again in 2015, this time improving his time to 40:46. The race was Doug Bell's sixth Summer Trail Series competition, making him a true veteran of the circuit, but he hadn't run the Cadillac Trail 5.5-Miler since 2013. He improved more than two minutes on that effort from two years ago to place third in 41:14, taking the first master runner spot.


Swift Creek Middle School's cross-country season was still three months away. But that didn't keep Alyson Churchill, a rising eighth-grader at Swift Creek, from doing a little cross-country running at the Cadillac Trail Race. Five-and-a-half miles is quite a bit farther than the two miles that Leon County's middle school athletes race in cross country, but the extra distance didn't seem to bother Churchill. Running 42:51 she was the first female finisher in the race, placing seventh overall. It was the first Summer Trail Series event for Churchill, and it was also the first time on the circuit for Carrie Seiberlich. Seiberlich was the top woman master in the race, placing second in the women's standings and 13th overall in 45:42. Shelley Yaun placed third on the women's side, 29th overall in 48:48. Coming in 32nd overall in 49:04, Swift Creek Middle School cross-country runner Megan Churchill was the fourth female finisher.


A record 158 athletes finished the Cadillac Trail race. That number isn't liable to ever get much larger--entries in Gulf Winds Track Club's Summer Trail Series races are capped in order to preserve the trail-running experience. Three events were scheduled to follow the Cadillac Trail Run in the 2015 cirucit--the Oak Hammock Trail five mile in Phipps Park on 13 June 2015, the Coon Bottom Trail four-and-a-half Mile in Phipps Park on 18 July 2015, and the Redbug Trail four-and-a-half mile at Forestmeadows Park on 1 August 2015. All races in the series are directed by Bobby York.

Schmidt and Sherron persevere in the T-PAL 5K

Roger SchmidtIn Jack McLean Park, Roger Schmidt crossed the finish line of the first Tallahassee Police Athletic League 5K wearing trunks featuring the tricolor design of Germany's Bundesflagge. It was an appropriate outfit for Schmidt's training goals.


"I'm at the start of an eighteen-week marathon progression," said Schmidt. "I'm getting ready for the Berlin Marathon."


From Schmidt's performance in the T-PAL 5K on Saturday morning, 30 May 2015, you might conclude that he has a strong starting point for his progression. The Capital City Runners athlete won the 3.1-mile race in 17:22, the first of 106 finishers. Schmidt took the lead soon after the start and then spent the rest of the race running away from everyone, reaching home half a kilometer ahead of the next runner.


Katie Sherron, Sheryl RosenCompetition was tighter on the women's side, though. Katie Sherron and Sheryl Rosen were running side by side through the second kilometer of the race. During the third kilometer, though, Showman started to pull away.


"She picked it up on the second mile and I stayed the same," said Rosen. "I ran really even."


Sherron didn't know that Rosen wasn't going to pick it up, though. "I was really afraid that Sheryl was going to run me down," said Sherron. "I just didn't want to get passed."


She didn't get passed. Sherron took the T-PAL 5K women's title in 19:21, finishing second overall. Rosen was second in the women's standings, finishing third overall in 19:51.


Duane EvansDuane Evans of Crawfordville, Florida, was the first master runner in the race, finishing fourth overall in 20:13. The first woman master was Tsige Tadesse, the fifth woman finisher and 22nd overall in 24:09.


The T-PAL 5K was chip timed by Gulf Winds Track Club on a USATF-certified course (FL15035EBM). As an added feature, each runner was also timed on the ascent of the hill on Pontiac Drive, the "Officer Mike Saunders Wall." The hill doesn't just have an intimidating nickname; it's a truly intimidating 7% slope that the athletes had to face near the two- kilometer mark of the race. Master runner Bryan Koon had the fastest time up the Wall, making the climb in a 56.58 seconds. Sheryl Rosen edged Katie Sherron 82.49 to 82.72 for the fastest ascent by a woman. There were many other slopes on the course, uphill and down, but those went untimed.

Droze and Autore have their day at Africa Day

In Tom Brown Park on Saturday morning, 23 May 2015, it was just minutes away from the start of the fourth annual Tallahassee, Florida, Africa Day 5K. Maclay coach Gary Droze jogged up to me.


“I need to pick your brain,” he said. “Is it really 5K if you run on the trail from Connor Boulevard to Weems Road and back?”


That was the ground that the Africa Day race was going to cover. I assured him that whether through design or coincidence, that stretch of the Goose Pond Trail really was almost exactly 2500 meters long.


“That's good!” said Droze. “I was worried that this race was going to be 2.9 or 3.2 miles long.”


So far as competition was concerned, a little bit of extra distance or a slight deficit from the regulation 3.1 miles wasn't going to make a difference to Droze. Soon after the race started the Maclay School track coach was out in front, leading the field of 46 athletes up the trail towards Weems Road. He was farther ahead at the turnaround and continued to widen the lead during the trek toward Connor Boulevard. When Droze crossed the finish line in a winning 17:04 the next runner was half a mile behind him.


Alese Autore, the top woman in the Africa Day 5K, was that second finisher. Autore led the women's competition from the start. Less than half a mile into the race she was running second overall, and for the latter four kilometers of the five kilometer race, her only running companion was her dog. Autore covered the 3.1-mile course in 20:30.


Lincoln High frosh Franz Roeder was the second male finisher, third overall in 21:03. Swift Creek Middle School eighth-grader Calvin McGinnis was fourth overall in 21:03. FAMU professor Mike LaBossiere was fifth in 21:14.


Jena Mickel was second on the women's side, finishing eighth overall in 23:11. Karen McGinnis was the top woman master and third female finisher, placing ninth overall in 25:02.
