Kiros and Terry make triumphant returns to the Deer Run

On Saturday morning, 4 November 2017, Geb Kiros was at Deerlake Middle School north of Tallahassee. He was there for the second year in a row to race the annual Deer Run 5K. And for the second year in a row, the Florida A & M University biostatistics professor won the 3.1-mile race. This time the master runner covered the course in 18:33. Alyssa Terry had also run the race in 2016, finishing eighth in the women's standings. In 2017, Terry took the Deer Run women's title, placing seventh overall in 20:42.

Behind Kiros, master runner Jonathan LaBarre was second in 19:01. Brad Busboom was the third male finisher in 19:19, and eleven-year-old Jackson Rowe, a sixth-grader on the Montford Middle School cross-country team, was fourth in 20:25.


Chiles High sophomore Emily Molen was the women's runner-up and ninth overall in 21:06. Maya Tang, a seventh-grader on the Deerlake Middle School cross-country team, was the third female and 21st overall in 22:45. Nicole Kelly, another seventh-grade cross-country runner from Deerlake, was the fourth woman and 25th overall in 23:21. Tsige Tadesse was the first woman master and fifth female finisher, 30th overall in 24:04.
