A Douglas, Georgia athlete, Watson is a sophomore on the Coffee High cross-country squad. Running for the Trojans, he won the class 6A Region 1 boys' race during the 2018 season. The cross-country connection was fitting; the Blazin' Love 5K is a benefit for the Valdosta State University cross-country program.
Justin Tracy of Lake Park, Georgia took the runner-up spot in the 5K, running 17:29. Tanner Reid, a first-year Valdosta State University student and recent alum of the Perry High cross-country team, nabbed third with a 17:43. Lake Park's Ryan Kelly, the cross-country coach at Valdosta High, was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fourth overall in 18:56.
Martha Mazurkiewicz was the top woman master in the 5K and the second female finisher, eighteenth overall in 24:30. A Valdosta runner, Mazurkiewicz is a cross-country coach at Lowndes High. The next two runners in the women's standings were just a few steps behind Mazurkiewicz--Maryann Rowe (19th, 24:33) and Natalie Chandler (20th, 24:38). Both Rowe and Chandler are junior-year athletes on the Berrien County High cross-country team.
82 athletes finished the 2019 Blazin' Love 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta timed the race and provided finish line services.
