Cross-country season never really ends. Georgia's State Cross-Country Championship for high schools wrapped up on Saturday, 4 November 2017, but even though the high school teams were standing down till 2018, there's always another cross-country race somewhere. For instance, on Saturday morning, 11 November 2017, the Lowndes High School cross-country team held their annual fundraiser race, the Turkey Trail Trot 5K, on a cross-country course in Freedom Park, north of Valdosta, Georgia. David Shrier, a senior harrier on the Lowndes High team, won the race in 18:33. Emma Campbell took the women's title in 26:32, placing 25th overall.Seven days before the Turkey Trail Trot, Shrier had run 19:05 in the boys' 7A race at the Georgia State Meet. He wasn't the only State qualifier in Freedom Park. Lowndes High's Samuel Trimble and Ethan Carter, a sophomore and a frosh, had also raced in the State Final. At the Turkey Trail Trot, Trimble edged Carter for second, 18:51 to 18:54. Another Lowndes senior, Nathan Storey, took fourth in 19:37. Morgan Bolmer, a sophomore who had raced for Berrien County in the 2A race at the State Meet, was fifth in 19:48. John Bolmer of Nashville, Georgia was the fastest master runner in the race, placing ninth overall in 21:58.
Lowndes High frosh Madison Wagenaar, another State qualifier, was second in the women's standings of the Turkey Trail Trot 5K, placing 26th overall in 26:42. Eleven-year-old Cali Ingra of Hahira, Georgia was the third female finisher and 28th overall in 27:28. Valdosta's Kim Munger edged Pollyanna Bass of Pavo, Georgia for top woman master honors, 27:45 to 27:49. Munger was the fourth woman and 30th overall, Bass the fifth woman and 31st overall.
