Thomas Parker and Sheryl Rosen nab spring cross-country wins at the Buck Lake 5K

Anyone who declares that spring is not cross-country season is ignoring the fact that the World Cross-Country Championships are always contested in late March. So, too, was the fifth annual Buck Lake 5K Trail Race, run at Tallahassee's Alford Greenway on Saturday morning, 26 March 2022. Thomas Parker won the race, running 19:15 on a hilly course carpeted with wet grass. Sheryl Rosen was the first female finisher, placing fourth overall in 20:31, the second-fastest time ever run by a woman in the Buck Lake 5K.

Thomas Parker

The race got started shortly after 9:00 AM. Asa Swope, an eighth-grader on the cross-country team at nearby Swift Creek Middle School, set the early pace. Half a kilometer into the run, Thomas Parker moved into second, overtaking Levi Harwell, a junior-year cross-country runner at North Florida Christian School. Parker eventually caught Swope as well, then proceeded to build up a lead of more than 200 meters as he galloped home in a winning 19:15.


Swope finished runner-up in 20:11, nearly a one-minute improvement over the 21:09 he posted at his previous Buck Lake 5K appearance in 2020. Mike Martinez was the top master runner in the 5K, coming in third overall in 20:27. Master runner Duane Evans, winner of the 2018 Buck Lake 5K, was fourth in 20:50.

Sheryl Rosen

After the first 500 meters of the race, Sheryl Rosen was running third in the women's field, trailing two middle school cross-country runners--seventh-grader Annabelle Wiktorski and sixth-grader Charlotte Sikes. Rosen may have been new to racing on Alford Greenway, but she was no stranger to cross-country running. She soon took command of the women's competition and went on to win by some 300 meters, running 20:31. The only woman who has run faster in the Buck Lake 5K was Jennifer McGranahan, a Pensacola master runner who posted a 20:17 at the 2020 race.


Annabelle Wiktorski, the 2021 Leon County Schools' middle school cross-country champion, finished the race second in the women's standings, placing seventh overall in 22:06. Savannah Stanley, a seventh-grader on the Montford Middle School cross-country team, took third in the women's division and fourteenth overall in 24:23. Another Montford harrier, seventh-grader Haley Heitmeyer, was the fourth woman and fifteenth overall in 24:31. Sara Collins was the first woman master and fifth female finisher in the 5K, placing 24th overall in 27:11.

123 athletes finished the 2022 Bobcat 5K cross-country race. Another 149 completed an earlier one-mile fun run. Gulf Winds Track Club chip-timed the races.

Leonardo Canete and Shanya Washington blaze winning debuts in the Swamp Run

45th annual Okefenokee Swamp Run, 19 March 2022On the northern outskirts of the great Okefenokee Swamp, Tallahassee master runner Leonardo Canete won Waycross, Georgia's 45th annual Swamp Run 10K, covering the trails in 38:38 and finishing 600 meters ahead of the next runner. Columbus State Cougar cross-country runner Shanya Washington was the first woman in the 19 March 2022 event, placing third overall in 41:09.


The race started from the Georgia Lions Club's Camp For The Blind, near Laura Walker State Park. Rain in the region had threatend to turn the course into an extension of the Okefenokee Swamp, but on the Saturday morning of the race, the trails were passable--at least for cross-country runners. Setting the early pace for the field were Leonardo Canete and Dylan Dixon, a junior on the Bacon County High cross-country team. Eventually, Canete left Dixon behind, going on to win the race in 38:38. Dixon was runner-up in 41:09. Brunswick, Georgia's Nate March was the third male finisher, placing fourth overall in 44:01. Jon Robertson, a Ware County High cross-country runner, was fourth in the men's standings and fifth overall in 44:33.

Since 2016, Shanya Washington has raced cross-country for Ware County High, South Georgia State, Albany State, Point University, and Columbus State, but on the first day of spring, 2022, she was back in Ware County for the Swamp Run. By the end of the ten-kilometer race, Washington had moved up to third place overall and was close to the runner-up spot, going 41:15. It was the fastest women's time at the event in twenty years; not since 2002 when Jessica Collins ran 39:00 had a womam posted a better mark in the Swamp Run.

Tiffany Warren of Waycross was the top woman master and second female finisher in the 10K, placing sixth overall in 45:07. The defending women's champ of the Swamp Run, Warren has won the race in 2008, 2009, 2014, 2016, and 2021. Thirteen-year-old Abby Dell, an eighth-grader on the cross-country team at Southside Christian School, was third in the women's standings and tenth overall with a 50:05--eight-and-a-half minutes faster than she had run in the 2021 Swamp Run.


82 athletes finished the 2022 Swamp Run 10K, with another twelve completing a one-mile fun run. Second Wind Race Timing timed and scored the race. Okefenokee Track and Cycling Club hosted the event.
