Seventeen-year-old Williams is a rising junior at Schley County High in Ellaville, Georgia where he runs cross-country and track for the Wildcats. Jaren Hill was second to Williams in the men's standings, placing third overall in 22:09. Jerry Brown was the first master runner in the 5K and the third male finisher, fourth overall in 22:44.
An Albany, Georgia athlete, Jennifer Perkins came very close to winning the 5K outright, finishing just a few steps behind David Williams. It wouldn't have been the first race where Perkins was first overall as well as the first woman; just over six months earlier she had taken the top spot in the half marathon at Barney's Run For Warriors in Albany. In Americus, Perkins' 19:54 was a new Home Run 5K record for women.
Rebecca Bowers finished runner-up to Perkins in the women's division of the Home Run 5K. A rising senior on the Lee County High cross-country team, Bowers placed thirteenth overall in 27:31. Alicia Turner was the third woman and fifteenth overall in 29:52.
51 athletes finished the 2019 Home Run 5K. Flatlander Sports of Leesburg, Georgia timed the race.
