Bolles and Plant visit Tallahassee, leave with the Big Bend Cross-Country titles

On Saturday morning, 31 August 2019, west of Tallahassee, Florida, the third annual Big Bend Invitational Cross-Country Meet was under way in Apalacheee Regional Park. The first race, the high school girls' 5K, was finishing up. Bolles School coach Tony Ryan turned away from the home stretch. The last of his athletes had already gone by.


"I'm getting too old for this," cracked Ryan.

Caitlin Wilkey

You wouldn't guess it by the performance of his team. The Bolles girls logged 29 points, easily winning the race. Chiles High senior Caitlin Wilkey took first in the 5K, running 18:37. The Plant High boys, visiting from Tampa, Florida, were the top team in the boys' 5K, scoring 38. Maclay senior Junious Brown posted a 16:14, winning the boys' race for the second year in a row.


It was an iffy weekend for sports in the Sunshine State. A major hurricane, Dorian, was churning up the Atlantic east of the Bahamas and threatening to make landfall in Florida. The Florida State vs. Boise State football game had been moved out of Jacksonville to Tallahassee. Nor was cross-country immune to the state's storm preparations. In South Florida, the Florida Atlantic Invitational, slated for 30 August 2019, had been canceled. But in North Florida, the Big Bend Invitational went ahead as scheduled. The only inclement weather was heat and humidity, typical for the time of year.

Alyson Churchill

The girls' 5K started around 8:15 AM, after the runners in the Open 5K had cleared the course. Alyson Churchill, a Chiles senior, grabbed the lead. As a frosh, Churchill had won the 2016 class 3A state title on the Apalachee Regional Park course. Halfway through the Big Bend race, she was 70 meters ahead of the next runner, and looked likely to add another ARPXC win to her resume. It would also be Churchill's second win of the season. A week earlier, she had won the girls' 5K at Chiles' opening meet, the Dueling Summits. But Chiles senior Caitlin Wilkey hadn't raced at Dueling Summits.


"I was taking the SAT," explained Wilkey.

Ella Mickler and Elizabeth Csikai

During the second half of the Big Bend 5K, Wilkey closed the 70-meter gap that Churchill had opened. That margin was gone with half a kilometer left in the race, when the two runners had made their final trip over The Wall, the Apalachee Regional Park course's infamous hill.


"I passed Alyson at the top of The Wall," said Wilkey. "I saw an opportunity and I took advantage of it."


Wilkey drove towards the finish, leaving Churchill behind. At the line, it was Wilkey first in 18:37 with Churchill runner-up in 18:48. Bolles frosh Elizabeth Csikai placed third in 19:44. Another Bolles frosh, Ella Mickler, edged Leon junior Avery Calabro for fourth, 19:50 to 19:51.

Bolles girls

The Bolles girls put three more runners in the top ten, with junior Maxine Montoya sixth in 19:52, frosh Jillian Candelino seventh in 20:09, and junior Layne Rivera ninth in 20:38. Once Rivera was home, Bolles had 29 points and the win. The Chiles girls, the 2018 Big Bend champs, were second with 46 points. Leon was third in the fourteen-team field with 97 points.

Junious Brown is a fan of the Apalachee Regional Park Cross-Country Course.


"I love it! It's amazing," said Brown. "And so convenient as well, right here in town."

Junious Brown

Winning the Big Bend Invitational in both 2018 and 2019 could have something to do with Brown's love for ARPXC. After two kilometers of the 2019 race, there still half a dozen runners in the lead pack, a group paced by Brown. Half a kilometer later, after cresting The Wall for the first time, only two other runners were still with Brown--South Florida HEAT senior Joseph Anderton and Leon sophomore Jackson Yarbrough. After another half kilometer, Brown left Anderton and Yarbrough behind.


"I just figured they're probably still recovering from the hill," reasoned Brown. "So I glided on the next downhill and made a move on the uphill."

Jackson Yarbrough, Joseph Anderton, Junious Brown

By the four-kilometer mark, Brown had broken the race open. He finished the race in a winning 16:14, just ten seconds off his best time ever at ARPXC. Anderton was second in 16:30. Yarbrough held off Plant senior Keith Gibson for third, both runners clocked in 16:48.


Gibson was joined in the top ten by two of his Plant teammates, sophomore Ryan Maney (7th, 16:55) and junior Wynne Thomas (9th, 17:04). Sophomore Ashton Stringer (11th, 17:20) and senior William Carlson (12th, 17:23) completed Plant's score, giving their team 38 points and first place among fifteen teams. Chiles, led by senior Hawthorne Hay (5th, 16:49) and junior Nathan Reffitt (6th, 16:49), took second with 47 points. Leon was third with 63 points.

The first Big Bend Invitational was scheduled for 3 September 2016, but the meet had to be canceled when damage from Hurricane Hermine shut down ARPXC. When the Big Bend Invitational debuted a year later, Clifton Lewis was there, racing in the middle school girls' 3K. She ran that event again at the 2018 Invitational. Lewis competed in the 3K a third time in 2019, and this time the sixth-grader won the race, running 12:19. Emerald Coast seventh-graders took the next two places with Annabelle Melberg second in 12:29 and Madilynn Jersey third in 12:41.

Clifton Lewis

Emerald Coast put two more athletes in the top ten, with eighth-grader Wren Hall sixth in 13:30 and seventh-grader Claire Griner eighth in 14:00. Seventh-grader Vivian Peele wrapped up the scoring for Emerald Coast, placing thirteenth in 14:25 and giving the Stingrays a winning 24 points.


Led by sixth-grader Lillian Koeppel (5th, 13:18), the Maclay girls were second in the six-team field with 35 points. Wakulla took third, scoring 85 points behind the ninth-place finish of eighth-grader Liliana Lewis (14:02).

In the middle school boys' 3K, Noah Deem, a seventh-grader racing in the colors of Community Leadership Academy, grabbed his first win of the 2019 season, running 11:19. Behind Deem, two eighth-graders dueled for the runner-up spot--Will Springer of Holy Comforter and Carter Ward of Emerald Coast. Springer broke away during the final kilometer to take second in 11:29; Ward was third in 11:35.

Noah Deem

Ward's third-place showing led the Emerald Coast boys to the top spot in the team standings. Ward; seventh-graders Matthew Minton (5th, 12:08), Kobe White (11th, 12:38), and Jaiden Weede (16th, 13:21); and eighth-grader Hudson Railton (39th, 15:19), totaled a winning score of 53 points for the Stingrays. Marianna was second among the seven teams with 72 points, led by the fifteenth-place, 13:17 performance of eighth-grader Richie Barnes. Seventh-grader Rollins Miller of Maclay was fourth in 11:49, leading his team to third place with 81 points.

Skye Williams and Patrick Koon start the LCS middle school cross-country season on top

In Tallahassee, Florida, classes for Leon County middle schools opened on 12 August 2019. The most important part of the 2019-20 school year, though, started on Thursday, 29 August 2019--the first day of Leon County Schools' middle school cross-country season. Competition opened on the east side of town at the Apalachee Regional Park Cross-Country Invitational, where the Montford girls took first in a field of seven teams. Individual honors also went to the Mustangs, with Montford eighth-grader Skye Williams winning the three-kilometer girls' race in 12:44. In the boys' 3K, Fairview scored 41 to place first among eight teams, while Fairview eighth-grader Patrick Koon posted a winning 10:32.

Competition commenced at 6:00 PM on the Apalachee Regional Park Championship Cross-Country Course with the girl's 3K. With a kilometer to go in the three-kilometer race, Montford seventh-grader Sophia Youngberg was leading the race. Just a few steps behind, though, were Skye Williams of Montford, Deerlake sixth-grader Kyra Swart, and Swift Creek eighth-grader Elizabeth Kessler. Each of those athletes overtook Youngberg on the way to the finish line, with Williams getting the win in 12:44, Kessler taking second in 12:51, and Swart third in 12:56 Youngberg placed fourth in 13:04.


Montford had three athletes in the top ten, with seventh-grader Aditi Mukhirala (10th, 13:56) joining Williams and Youngberg. But Deerlake also had three in the top ten, with Swart and eighth-graders Ella Holman (5th, 13:17) and Leah Kiros (7th, 13:37). Likewise, the defending champs from Swift Creek also had their own trio in the top ten--Kessler, eight-grader Ava Jones (8th, 13:38), and seventh-grader Natalie Nelson (9th, 13:40). But Montford's next two scorers--seventh-graders Clara Thompson (11th, 13:58) and Mariona Heartsfield (14th, 14:30)--were across the finish line before the fourth athlete of either Deerlake or Swift Creek. The advantage was Montford's, and the Mustangs had 40 points and first place. Swift Creek was second with 50 points, and Deerlake a close third with 55.

In 2018 a story blew in during the girls' 3K at the APRXC Invitational. Although the girls were able to finish their race, the boys' run was canceled. Fairview's Patrick Koon, who had won the boys' race in 2017, remembered the day of the storm.

"Last year the meet was on my birthday," said Koon. "I was bummed out that I didn't get to race on my birthday. But then I saw how Wyatt Townsend dominated the season. And I thought it was good that I didn't get disappointed on my birthday."


The 2019 race was a day in advance of Koon's birthday, but there would be no disappointments. Wyatt Townsend had moved on to high school cross-country, and a cloudless sky promised that there would be no storms. 800 meters into the race, Koon had a twenty-meter lead, with Monford seventh-grader Jackson Rowe running in second. With a kilometer to go Koon had opened a 100-meter gap, and Fairview's Justin Greenwood had pulled even with Rowe. Koon was still leading more than comfortably at the finish line, crossing in a winning 10:32. Greenwood broke away from Rowe to take second in 10:55, while Rowe was third in 11:02. Deerlake eighth-grader Brooks Bowden ran 11:33 to take fourth by inches in a dogfight with Raa eight-grader Drayden Reams (5th, 11:33) and Deerlake eighth-grader Cade Stewart (6th, 11:34).

Fairview put two more runners in the top ten, eighth-graders Enijah Thomas (9th, 12:00) and Ranceeson Grace (10th, 12:04). Then the Falcons waited for their fifth scorer. While they waited, Deerlake's tenth runner finished. But right after that, But right behind him, in 22nd place, Fairview eighth-grader Joshua Osborne came in at 12:38, giving his team 41 points and the ARPXC title--Fairview's first league win since the 2014 championship meet. The Falcon's also ended Deerlake's ten-meet winning streak in LCS competition, a streak that included undefeated seasons in 2017 and 2018.


Deerlake didn't go quietly. Led by Bowden's fourth-place finish, the Bucks were a close second with 46 points. Rowe's Montford Mustangs took third with 89 points.


The middle school cross-country teams of Leon County Schools were scheduled to meet seven days later in the tenth annual Fort Braden Run at Fort Braden Community Park on Thursday, 5 September 2019. The next meet of the season was the Everhart Invitational at Gretchen Everhart School on Thursday, 12 September 2019; then the Mustang Stampede at Montford Middle School on 19 September 2019; the Falcon Invitational at Phipps Park on 26 September 2019, and the LCS Championship Meet at ARPXC on 3 October 2019.
