Manuel Cavazos and Kailand Cosgrove had the most to smile about at the Smile Mile 5K

The Children's Volunteer Health Network's annual running event in Watercolor, Florida is called the Smile Mile. There is indeed a one-mile race at the Smile Mile, but the headliner is a longer race, a 5K. And on Saturday morning, 11 May 2019, Manuel Cavazos won the third annual Smile Mile 5K by close to 200 meters, running 17:58. Kailand Cosgrove, formerly of the Florida State University Lady Seminoles cross-country team, was the first woman in the race, placing third overall in 19:22.


Cavazos had just barely made it into the top ten of the Smile Mile 5K in 2018, finishing ninth in 19:12. But in 2019 he improved that performance by over a minute to get the win. Griffin Jones of Marietta, Georgia finished runner-up to Cavazos in 18:40. Pensacola, Florida's Yancey Ream was the top master runner in the race and the third male finisher, fourth overall in 19:28.


Amanda Skinner was second in the women's standings, placing 21st overall in 23:24. Hillary Fosdyck was the third woman in the 5K and 24th overall in 24:20. Simona Faroni was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, 28th overall in 24:39.


186 athlete finished the 5K at the 2019 Smile Mile, and another 66 completed the one-mile fun run. Both races were run on USATF-certified courses and chip timed by AltaVista Sports.
