Miller's 16:33 was more than half a minute better than the previous course record, Wright Calhoun's 17:05. Calhoun's mark had stood since 2014, a ten-year-old record. Most records don't last that long. Most races don't last that long.

James is an alum of the Southland Academy track team; Crenshaw is a sophomore on the cross-country squad at Schley County High. Crystal Kilheffer of Americus was the first woman master in the race and the fifth female finisher, sixteenth overall in 28:41.
