1976 Florida State vs Valdosta State men's cross country dual meet

It seems like time for some more Results From The Attic.


On Saturday, 25 September 1976, the Florida State University cross country team hosted Valdosta State College in a dual meet on the Seminoles' home course at the Seminole Golf Course and the old FSU Dairy Farm in Tallahassee. The distance was five miles, measured by Florida State head cross country coach Dick Roberts.

Valdosta State won, 26 to 31.


This had to be a humbling experience for a NCAA Division I team like the Seminoles--a Division II school comes into town and beats your team on your home course. The Blazers, though, were a very good Division II cross country team. The previous year, 1975, they had placed seventeenth in the NCAA-D2 national championship cross country meet. After outrunning the Seminoles in Tallahassee, the Blazers would go on to place eighth in the 1976 NCAA-D2 national championship meet. The Blazers were eighth in NCAA-D2 again in 1977.


And in 1978, my first year of running for Florida State, Valdosta State returned to Tallahassee and beat us again.

James and Davis race well at Run For Joy

On Saturday morning, 26 March 2016, the rains came to Niceville, Florida, but so did 178 athletes, all of whom finished the second annual Run For Joy 5K. Jack James was the fastest of those who came out in a Panhandle rainstorm, winning the 3.1-mile race in 18:34. Julia Davis was the women's champ, placing tenth overall in 22:45.


The top master runner in the race was Baker, Florida's Bob Walker, who finished runner-up in 19:41. The next three places went to the three Brainerds of the Liza Jackson Prep cross country team--Dillan Brainerd (21:07), Zachary Brainerd (21:08), and Alexander Brainerd (21:39).


Jack James won the race by over a minute, but Julia Davis didn't have that kind of a lead in the women's competition. Just four seconds behind Davis at 22:49 was Kelsey Luckett, the women's runner-up and eleventh overall. Catherine Davis, third in the women's standings, wasn't much further back, thirteenth overall in 22:58. Jeannette Destafaney was the top woman master runner and sixth female finisher, 24th overall in 26:19.


Stacey and Trae Wiggins hosted the first Run For Joy in 2015 to honor their late daughter, Rebecca Joy. The 2016 race raised $13,500 for Ronald McDonald House.
