It was Tracy's second straight win at the "Scissors" race, and his 17:36 was very nearly a new event record. Only Scott Gardner has posted a faster 5K at the "Scissors," a 17:33 winning time at the inaugural race in 2010. Runner-up Ryan Kelly, the Valdosta High cross-country coach, has four "Scissors" wins to his credit, but this was his first time winning top master runner honors at the race. Behind Tracy and Kelly, Chase Meade outkicked Josh Davis for third place, 19:46 to 19:47.
Katelyn Lancaster, a junior on the cross-country team at Valdosta High, had placed third in the women's standings of two previous "Scissors" races, once in 2016 and again in 2018. 22:47 in 2019 was fast enough to put Lancaster on top of the "Scissors" women's division for the first time. In the 2018 race, Morgan Long had been over a minute behind Lancaster. She trimmed that margin to a few seconds in 2019, finishing as the women's runner-up and tenth overall in 22:52. Tracy Cole was the third woman and eleventh overall in 23:07. Angie Davis was the top woman master and fifth female finisher, sixteenth overall in 24:35.
183 athletes finished the 2019 "Don't Run With Scissors!" 5K. The race is an annual fundraiser for the art department of Sallas Malone Elementary School.
