Thomas County harriers Wilhelm and James win the Red Nose Run

Thomasville, Georgia, Junior Service League Red Nose RunIn Thomasville, Georgia on Saturday morning, 10 December 2016, it was clear that cross-country season was over the local schools. The big clue was that so many fast young distance runners were free to race on the roads that morning in the Thomasville Junior Service League's sixth annual Red Nose Run 5K. Thomas County Central senior Conley Wilhelm won the 3.1-mile race, going the distance in 18:46. On the women's side, Thomas County Middle School eighth-grader Anna James took the title in 21:21, placing fourth overall.


Wilhelm and James weren't the only school-age athletes on the starting line at Thomas University that morning. Sixteen-year-old Hank Wirick was the overall runner-up in the 5K with a 20:56. Matthew Lewis, a seventh-grader on the MacIntyre Park Middle School cross-country team, was third in 21:14. Austin Willis, another MacIntyre Park Harrier, was the fourth male finisher in 21:53. Moultrie, Georgia's Jared Toman, sixth overall in 21:54, was the first runner in the race old enough to run for U.S. Congress. Bill Hooks of Thomasville, though, was old enough to be President. Hooks was the fastest master runner in the race, placing seventh overall in 22:30.


Rosalie White, a 22-year-old alumna of the Thomasville High cross-country team, was second in the women's standings, coming in ninth overall in 23:10. Moultrie athlete Rebecca Toman was the third woman and tenth overall in 23:46. Emma Szwarc, an eighth-grader on the Brookwood School cross-country team, was the fourth female and fourteenth overall in 24:10. Angela Duck of Quitman, Georgia was the first woman master and fifth female finisher, fifteenth overall in 24:21.


107 athletes finished the 2016 Red Nose Run, with another 44 completing a one-mile fun run. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race and provided finish line services.
