Myles Gibson and Ann Centner take the Tiger

Hungry TigerIn 2014, Myles Gibson placed third at the second annual Tasty Tiger Trot 5K. In 2015, the Donalsonville, Georgia master runner came in second at the third annual Tasty Tiger Trot. Inductive reasoning is never a sure thing, but was a case where it worked--on Saturday morning, 30 July 2016, Myles Gibson won the fourth annual Tasty Tiger Trot. Gibson covered the 3.1-mile course on the streets near Dothan, Alabama's Westgate Park in 19:09, finishing close to 90 meters ahead of the next runner. Former University of Georgia distance runner Ann Centner won the women's title, placing fifth overall in 20:23.


Evan Crawford and Jack Brockman took the next two places behind Gibson, Crawford second in 19:30 and Brockman third in 19:40. Crawford and Brockman are both headed into their sophomore year cross-country season at Enterprise High. Bob Walker was the top master runner in the race, placing ninth overall in 21:28.


April Hill was second in the women's standings and thirteenth overall in 22:33. Jackie Birge took third in the women's standings, placing nineteenth overall in 23:24. Missy Sexton was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, coming in 26th overall in 25:11. Sexton was the 2014 Tasty Tiger women's champ, and was also the top woman master in the 2013 race.


114 athletes finished the 2016 Tasty Tiger Trot 5K. The race is an annual fund raiser for the Dothan High cross-country team. After three years as a cross-country race on the Westgate Park Trail, the event moved to the roads in 2016.

Alyson Churchill motors to victory on the Cadillac Trail

During 2015 Alyson Churchill won the women's title at each of the four races of Gulf Winds Track Club's Summer Trail Series. A stress fracture kept her out of the first three races of the 2016 series, but two days before the finale on the Cadillac Trail, Churchill got medical clearance to run again. Run she did. On Saturday evening, 30 July 2016, fourteen-year-old Alyson Churchill won the Cadillac Trail Race, covering the rugged course through Tallahassee, Florida's Lafayette Heritage Park in 42:29. Paul Guyas was the first male finisher, coming in second overall in 43:06.


"The course is 5.6 miles," race director Jim Halley announced at the starting line. "Give or take."


Trails being what they are, he probably wasn't entitled to two significant figures.

Five-and-a-half miles or six, the race started just after 6:00 PM. After a short dash along the Goose Pond Trail, the runners left the pavement to turn onto the Cadillac Trail. Paul Guyas led the field through the woods with Eric Godin close behind. Godin had won the second of the first three Summer Trail Series events, the Oak Hammock Trail Race. Godin had trailed Guyas in the other two races, though, with Dan Baur taking the top spot. After about a mile on the Cadillac Trail, Godin made his move.


"I tried to push the pace early on because I'm comfortable on these trails," said Godin. "I run out here more than any of the other trail series courses."


Godin wasn't out front long, though. "Eric jumped past me after the first mile," said Guyas. "Then I passed him back."


"He passed me," said Godin. "And shortly after that Alyson did too."

Alyson Churchill had been stalking the two leaders nearly since the start of the race. Overtaking Godin, she set her sights on Guyas. She caught him close to halfway through the race.


"It was about 2.8 miles," said Churchill. "I looked on my watch. He actually asked if it was me."


"I didn't know who it was," said Guyas. "But it had to be Alyson."


The second half of the race and the win belonged to Churchill as she finished the course in 42:29. Guyas took second in 43:06, while Greg Bargo overtook Eric Godin to finish third in 44:45. Godin was fourth in 45:25. Katie Gorman, the top woman in the first three Summer Trail Series races, was runner-up in the women's standings at Cadillac Trail. Gorman placed fifth overall in 46:30.

It wasn't just Churchill's first race in the Summer Trail Series, it was her first race of any kind since April. Churchill hadn't been able to compete since the Leon County Middle School Track and Field Championships on 20 April 2016.


"I had a stress fracture," explained Churchill. "I didn't get to go to the State Meet which was disappointing."


Churchill put that disappointment behind her on the Cadillac Trail. What's next?


"Cross country season," said Churchill. "I'm excited to be running high school cross country."


Which high school would that be?


"Lincoln!" said Churchill

Tallahassee area cross country meets in 2016



2016 Tallahassee Area Cross Country Schedule

2015 ACC Championship at ARPXC
2015 ACC Women's Cross Country Championship

Here's a list of cross country meets in the Tallahassee area during the upcoming 2016 season. I've limited this to middle school, high school, and college events, so you won't see open events here like the Miller Landing Madness, Run For Lawson, Pine Run, or Tannenbaum Trail 6K. I've also limited the list to Leon County and its immediate neighbors, so you'll find events here in Wakulla, Decatur, Thomas, and Jefferson counties, but nothing farther afield. As many events as I have listed here, I still might have missed one or two. If you notice that a meet is missing, let me know and I'll add it tout de suite.
