Fox finished more than 150 meters ahead of the next runner. Behind him, Alan Flores and Chris Robbins battled for second. Flores, a Northview High frosh cross-country runner, prevailed at the finish line, running 18:23 to Robbins' 18:25. Bob Walker of Baker, Florida was the fastest master runner in the race, coming in sixth overall in 19:58.
Four weeks before the Pilgrim Chase, Rory Claussen had raced Florida's Middle School Girls' Cross-Country State Championship in Lakeland, Florida. A sixth-grader, Claussen had finished second in the three-kilometer race, running 11:21.77. She took an early lead over the women's field at the Pilgrim Chase, going out hard. After a more conservative start, Hannah Samuels caught up with Claussen about two kilometers into the race. Samuels was a junior on the Covenant College cross-country team, but Claussen was having none of that. She surged away from Samuels during the second half of the race, going on to win the women's competition in 20:53. Samuels was second in 22:41, placing fifteenth overall. Ashley Robbins of Eagen, Minnesota was third in the women's standings and 21st overall in 24:32. LaGrange, Georgia's Tanya Woodham was the top woman master and fourth female finisher, 25th overall in 25:24.
The 2017 Pilgrim Chase 5K Trail Race was hosted by the Dothan Runners. 64 athletes finished the eighteenth annual event.
[ A big thank you to master runner Mark McCarra for details on the women's race. ]
