Brian Miller wrecks the record at Shamrock Jog & Jam

On Saturday afternoon, 2 March 2024, Brian Miller became the first athlete to break 17:00 at the Shamrock Jog & Jam 5K in the twelve-year history of that Americus, Georgia race. Miller didn't just sneak past the 17:00 barrier either--the Americus distance runner blew it up, posting a new course record of 16:33 and winning the race by almost 800 meters. Eleven-year-old S. Arnold took first in the women's division, placing sixth overall in 25:24.


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.


Americus' Aaron Pinckard, the 2022 Shamrock Jog & Jam champion, was runner-up in the 2024 race. Coleman Fort took third, running 22:08. Chad Bell was the first master runner in the 5K, coming in sixth overall in 25:35.


The second spot in the women's standings was decided by a showdown between Bailey James and Mallory Crenshaw, with James prevailing--her 25:51 was slightly faster than Crenshaw's 25:51. 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.


49 athletes finished the 2024 Shamrock Jog And Jam 5K. The race benefits the Scott Law Foundation, which provides direct financial assistance to Sumter and surrounding county residents suffering from cancer or other medical ailments.

Brian Miller and Isidora Catron burn the record books at the Home Run 5K

The Home Run 5K, hosted by the First United Methodist Church of Americus, Georgia, is a road running event, so there are no bats or balls involved. Nevertheless, at the eleventh annual Home Run 5K on Saturday morning, 3 June 2023, Brian Miller and Isidora Catron each figuratively hit it out of the park. Miller won the race by almost 400 meters, setting a Home Run 5K record of 16:20. Catron won the women's division by more than a kilometer, placing fourth overall in 20:04.


Miller, an Americus athlete and Southland Academy alum, crushed the previous record by more than half a minute. The prior mark, 16:55, was set by Wright Calhoun in the 2014 race. Miller and Calhoun are the only two athletes to run sub-17:00 in the Home Run 5K. The women's record was even older, a 21:48 run by Amber Hodor in 2013, the first year of the race. Catron, a frosh on the Wilcox County High cross-country team, ran 1:44 faster than that ten-year-old standard.


Jack Miller was runner-up for the second year in a row, this time with a 17:32. A sophomore distance runner at Trinity Dublin Christian School, Miller improved almost half a minute on the 17:57 he ran in the 2022 race. Jake Griffith of Americus placed third in the 5K with a 17:56. Americus' Terence Duncan was the first master runner in the race and ninth male finisher, placing tenth overall in 24:51.


Mallory Crenshaw, a frosh distance runner on the Schley County High track team, placed second to Isidora Catron in the women's standings, placing twelfth overall in 25:25. Cindy Godfrey of Butler, Georgia was the first woman master and third female finisher, thirteenth overall in 25:48.


48 athletes finished the 2023 Home Run 5K. Hardy Race Timing of Perry, Georgia chip-timed the race.
