Alec Munger and Tracey Cole lead at Lake Park

Three months after Saturday morning, 27 April 2019, it's likely that Alec Munger will be starting his junior year cross-country season at Lowndes High in Valdosta, Georgia. But on 27 April 2019 itself, Munger was a few miles south of Valdosta in Lake Park, Georgia winning the inaugural Calvary 5K. Racing on roads rather than trails, Munger went the 3.1 miles in 17:15. Tracey Cole, a master runner from Pinetta, Florida, was the first woman in the race, placing fourth overall in 23:21.

Lake Park's own Justin Tracy finished runner-up in the Calvary 5K, coming in just over a hundred meters behind the winner in 17:40. Fourteen-year-old Aaron Munger of Valdosta, Georgia took third in 21:35. Billy Taylor, a 70-year-old Valdosta athlete, was the first male master in the 5K, placing fifth overall and fourth in the men's standings at 24:20.


Valdosta master runner Galen Mirate was the second woman in the race, eighth overall in 32:04. Ashley Thompson of Valdosta was the third female finisher and fourteenth overall in 34:22.
