Smooth sailing for Bennett and Jimison at the Anchors Away 6K

Mason Bennett has run quite a few five-kilometer races for the Arnold High cross country team. He'll be running quite a few more as a sophomore on the team during fall 2016. Six kilometers is a bit farther, but Bennett had no problem with the additional distance on Saturday morning, 4 June 2016, at the fifth annual Anchors Away 6K. The Arnold High harrier won that race by over half a kilometer, running 23:54 on the trails of Panama City Beach, Florida's Conservation Park. Harrogate, Tennessee master runner Deanna Jimison captured the women's crown, coming in seventh overall in 29:41. 105 athletes finished the race.


Michael Shaw finished runner-up in 26:23 and Ken Rose took third in 27:35. Ross Clemons was the top master runner in the 6K, placing fourth overall in 27:37.


Norma McPherson was the second woman and tenth overall in 31:14. Master runner Lori Bakhouse was third in the women's standings, placing fifteenth overall in 32:26.


The Anchors Away 6K and associated one-mile family fun run were a fundraiser benefiting Anchorage Children's Home. Gulf Coast Race Timing timed the race.
