New Year, same old story; DeJesus wins Resolution Run

Arnoldo DeJesusIf you were hoping that 2017 would be different from 2016 then you might be disheartened at the running news out of Albany, Georgia. On 1 January 2017, just like on 1 January 2016, Arnoldo DeJesus won Albany's Resolution Run 5K. This time around, DeJesus won the race in 20:38. Hope for change came in the women's competition, where master runner Sara Ostrander won for the first time in 22:35, placing fourth overall. 23 athletes braved wet streets to finish the Sunday morning race.


400 meters behind DeJesus a battle brewed for second place. David Evans, Edward Ostrander, and Sara Ostrander were all clocked in 22:34.6. Evans got the nod for second, while Edward Ostrander, a seventh-grader on the Lee County Middle School cross-country team, was third.


Fourth went to the top woman, Sara Ostrander. Alisa Siminova was second in the women's standings and fifth overall in 22:50. The 2016 Resolution Run women's champ, Karen McNally, was the third female finisher and ninth overall in 26:26.
