For Ryan Truchelut and Katie Sherron, the best part of waking up was the Mile

Mens sana in corpore sano. A healthy mind in a healthy body. Ryan Truchelut and Katie Sherron have both those boxes checked. Dr. Truchelut, the co-Founder, President, and Chief Meteorologist of WeatherTiger, has a Ph.D. in meteorology. Dr. Sherron, a professor at Florida State University, has a Ph.D. in economics. If you want evidence for healthy bodies, examine the results of the 23rd annual Gulf Winds Track Club Mile at the Breakfast on the Track. Dr. Truchelut won that Tallahassee, Florida race on Saturday morning, 7 August 2021, circling the Maclay School track in 4:46.27. Dr. Sherron was the first woman in the field, placing sixth overall in 5:17.28.

The Breakfast on the Track is an athletics meet with only one event--the one-mile run. There were seven sections of the mile in the 2021 meeting; both Truchelut and Sherron were in the first section. Jonathan Stern led for most of the first three laps of the four-lap race, but he was overtaken by Truchelut on the bell lap. It was still close on the home stretch, but Truchelut made it across the line first, winning 4:46.27 to 44:46.60. Tristan Lanasa took third in 5:02.85. Brookwood School frosh Kent Grayson, a Thomasville, Georgia athlete, took fourth in 5:11.35, well off his 5:01.71 PR for the slightly shorter 1600-meter run. Former Florida State University cross-country runner Christian Minor placed fifth in 5:13.35.


Dr. Katie Sherron, the first woman in the mile, finished a few steps behind Minor in 5:17.28--and just ahead of her husband, Zach DeVeau, seventh in 5:17.73. The battle for second place in the women's standings was between two middle school runners, eighth-grader Clifton Lewis and seventh-grader Annabelle Wiktorski. Lewis prevailed with a 5:53.50, good for nineteenth overall. Wiktorski, a Montford Middle School cross-country runner, was 21st overall in 6:03.31.
