Leonardo Canete |
The start was delayed for a few minutes, but at 8:05 AM the race was on, with the athletes charging north on Suwannee Street. Leonardo Canete may not have been first off the line, but a few meters down the road he was clearly ahead. Another Tallahassee master runner, Charlie Johnson, was a few steps behind Canete. Two kilometers into the race, Canete and Johnson were racing one-two, just seconds apart. Then the race turned into Myers Park.
In the Myers Park hills, Canete built up a significant lead on Johnson, getting 80 meters ahead by the halfway point. Canete continued to move away during the second half. When he crossed the finish line back on Suwannee Street in a winning 35:49, Canete had a 200-meter lead. Johnson was second in 36:30. Matthew Lammens was the third male finisher, fourth overall in 37:09.
Ann Centner |
Almost half a minute earlier, women's champ Ann Centner had already crossed the finish line in 36:44. Centner had been the top woman at two previous Springtimes, 2019 and 2022. 2022 had been a hard-fought, close affair, with Centner prevailing late in the race over Katie Sherron, the Springtime women's winner in 2018. Centner kept 2025 drama-free, leading the women's field early then pulling away steadily, ultimately coming in 400 meters ahead of her closest rival.
Katie Sherron was the top woman master and the women's runner-up, placing eighth overall in 38:18. Tallahassee master runner Stephanie Liles-Weyant was the third female finisher, seventeenth overall in 40:48.
