Jacksonville Track Club's Last Gasp Cross-Country Race was held in Jacksonville, Florida in 1977. The race was held again in 1978. And in 1979. JTC Running hosted the 41st Last Gasp on Saturday afternoon, 30 December 2017.That's a lot of last gasps. Maybe they should reconsider the name?

As a Fletcher High runner, DeLay had been the women's champ at each of the previous four Gasps, 2013 to 2016.
Jeffrey Wilke, a sophomore on the Sandalwood High cross-country team, was the second male and third overall in 19:01.
