Tyler Goatley beats Ethan Mines 16:10 to 16:11 in a hot race at the Hot Trot

Washington-Holmes Technical CenterThe Hot Trot 5K is often a fast race. Less frequently, it's a close race. That's not to say you won't ever see close competition in the annual Chipley, Florida event. In 2012, Jordan Green and Shayne Fawcett went down to the wire, with Green taking the title 17:21 ro 17:23. On Saturday morning, 29 June 2019, the 41st annual Hot Trot 5K was even closer. Tyler Goatley crossed the finish line only just ahead of Ethan Mines for a 16:10 to 16:11 victory. The women's competition was even tighter, with Jessica Ludwig edging Carmen Hernandez for the win, both runners clocked in 23:27.


Goatley is a distance runner on the cross-country and track teams at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. Mines was a past champ of the Hot Trot, having won the race in 2016 when he was a cross-country runner at nearby Mosley High School. Mines wasn't the only past champion of the Hot Trot on the course that morning. Jay, Florida master runner Matt Dobson was also racing, a fourteen-time winner of the Hot Trot. Another master runner in the field, Myles Gibson, had won the race in 1997.


Goatley prevailed over them all, outkicking Mines 16:10 to 16:11. Dothan, Alabama's Jason Teitloff took third in 17:33. Dobson was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fourth overall in 18:49. Gibson was not far behind, fifth in 18:59.


After Jessica Ludwig and Carmen Hernandez had concluded their battle for the women's title, placing ninth and tenth overall, Patti Zamyslowski was the third woman across the finish line, twelfth overall in 25:18. Eve Phillips was the first woman master and sixth female finisher, 21st overall in 26:43.


92 athletes finished the 2019 Hot Trot 5K. The race is the opening event of the Saturday festivities of the North Florida Watermelon Festival.

it was a 5K.

A huge thank you to Larry Dykes for delving into the archives of the
Dothan Runners to find the names and times of the Hot Trot champions
from 1980 to 2010.
