Monds and Rourk first in the Four Seasons Spring Four Mile

The inaugural year of Quitman, Georgia's Four Season Running Series continued on Saturday morning, 14 May 2016, with the Spring Four-Miler. It was the second race of the circuit, and the second series win for Quitman master runner David Monds, who followed up his Winter Four-Miler victory with a 26:40 title run in the Spring event. Bridget Rourk of Valdosta, Georgia was the first woman in the Spring Four Mile, placing eighth overall in 35:32--more than six minutes faster than she had run in the Winter race.


Corey Monds of Quitman finished runner-up in 27:15, and Thomasville, Georgia's Gareth Pyle was third in 30:14. Yet another Monds--master runner Calvin Monds of Jacksonville, Florida--took fourth in 31:22.


Valdosta's Amy Reese was the top woman master in the race, placing second in the women's standings and ninth overall in 36:50. Valdosta master runner Lisa Graves was the third female finisher and tenth overall in 37:24. Graves had won the women's title in the Winter Four Mile, the opening event in the Four Seasons series.
