On Saturday morning, 19 May 2018, Chance Logan was back in competition. Three weeks earlier he had posted a win at the Tate's Hell & Back 5K in Carrabelle, Florida. This time, he was racing closer to home at the seventh annual Catfish Crawl in Blountstown, Florida, a race where he had placed eighth in 2017. But in 2018, there was no one ahead of Logan when he crossed the finish line in 19:07, the new Catfish Crawl champ. Tallahassee, Florida athlete Kat Sack was the first woman in the 5K, successfully defending her 2017 Catfish Crawl women's title and placing fourth overall in 20:59.Enrique Nandho, a rising senior on the Blountstown High cross-country team, finished runner-up to Logan in 19:31. Laryn Flikkema of Tallahassee was the fastest master runner in the Catfish Crawl and third overall in 20:41.
Tallahassee schoolteacher Laura McDermott placed second in the women's standings, coming in sixth overall in 21:35. Paula O'Neill of Tallahassee was the first woman master and third female finisher, fourteenth overall in 23:53.
133 athletes finished the 2018 Catfish Crawl 5K. The Blountstown Fire Department hosts the race each year on the third Saturday in May, so look for the eighth annual Catfish Crawl on the Blountstown Rail Trail on 18 May 2019.
