Wiedeman and Langston, the actors in that 18:49 to 18:50 finish, are both cross-country runners on the team at nearby Wakulla High. Just twenty meters behind them, Mike Martinez of Tallahassee outkicked another Wakulla harrier, Isaac Peck, for third place, 18:55 to 18:56. Martinez was the top master runner in the race, but he was surrounded by Wakulla High athletes. After Peck, Wakulla High's Andrew Nix was fifth in 19:59, and Henry Lewis of Wakulla Middle School was sixth in 19:02.
Wakulla High was also well-represented in the women's standings. Sheryl Rosen of Tallahassee was first among the women with her 19:05, but the next five female finishers were all Wakulla High cross-country runners--frosh Isabella Laughton (8th, 19:19), sophomore Liliana Lewis (13th, 20:25), senior Marina Whitsell (18th, 21:54), sophomore Taylor Pfeifer (19th, 21:56), and sophomore Analecia Ferrell (24th, 22:54). Deborah Rayburn of Crawfordville, Florida was the first woman master and eighth female finisher, 30th overall in 24:12.
The Worm Gruntin' Festival is traditionally held on the second Saturday in April, but the 2020 and 2021 Festivals (and 5K races) were canceled due to COVID-19. The 2022 race was therefore the first Worm Gruntin' 5K since 2019. In spite of the hiatus, the 2022 event was also the largest Worm Gruntin' 5K in over a decade, with 271 athletes finishing the race. Five Star NTP of Dawsonville, Georgia timed and scored the event.
