Leonardo Canete and Caroline Willis collect wins at the return of the Bowlegs 5K

"I though he was going to catch me," said Leonardo Canete.


He didn't. No one caught Canete, as the Tallahassee master runner won Gulf Winds Track Club's 37th annual Bowlegs 5K on Saturday morning, 8 January 2022. Racing through Innovation Park on the south side of Tallahassee, Florida, Canete edged Mickey Moore for the win, 18:09 to 18:15. Davidson College alum Caroline Willis was the first woman in the 3.1-mile race, placing fourth overall in 19:25.

Leonardo Canete was soon in the lead, arriving at the 800 meter mark six seconds before Mickey Moore. Two kilometers into the race, Canete was still six seconds ahead of Moore. Six seconds, six seconds. After Canete crossed the finish line in a winning 18:09, Moore was there six seconds later, taking second in 18:15. Tristan LaNasa was third in 19:21. Matthew Hauser, an eighth-grader on the Montford Middle School cross-country team, was fourth in the men's standings and fifth overall in .


Caroline Willis hadn't raced a 5K in Tallahassee since 2019, when she she went 20:20 at the Firecracker 5K. Of course Willis had been busy during 2017-2021 racing cross-country and track for Davidson College, a sequel to her prep career at Maclay School. At Bowlegs, she led the women's field from start to finish, logging a winning 19:25. Half an hour after finishing, Willis was still running around Innovation Park.
