Amanda An wins it all in the Jingle Bell Jog 10K

In Albany, Georgia the Phoebe Foundation hosted the 31st annual Jingle Bell Jog on Saturday morning, 14 December 2019. So it's not surprising that quite a few employees of Phoebe Health were out on the streets that morning running one of the two races, 10K or 5K. One Phoebe physician, Amanda An, won the 10K, finishing first overall in 41:47. Julio Perez was the top male finisher, placing second overall in 42:03.


A resident in family medicine, An had won the women's title in the 2018 Jingle Bell Jog 5K, coming in second overall. Stepping up to the longer race in 2019, she was second to no one this time around.


The first master runner in the 10K was Sean McConnell, second in the men's standings and third overall in 43:13. Albany master runner Herbert Fritz was the third male finisher and fourth overall in 43:35. Behind Fritz, Jaren Hill edged John Kilpatrick for the fourth men's spot, 43:39 to 43:41. Hill and Kilpatrick were fifth and sixth overall.


Phoebe Judge of Newton, Georgia was the women's runner-up, coming in thirteenth overall in 45:53. Caroline Taylor, a senior on the Lee County High cross-country team, was third in the women's division and 22nd overall in 47:44. Americus, Georgia athlete Amber DeBaise was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, 25th overall in 49:48.

The battle at Barnes goes to Buntin and Spry

Barnes Healthcare ServicesBarnes Healthcare is an old business, having started out as a Valdosta, Georgia drugstore back in 1909. Barnes Healthcare's annual race, the Barnes 100 Years 5K, is not nearly as old, having first been run in 2009. Somewhere between the two in age is Albany, Georgia's Courtland Buntin, a senior on the Deerfield-Windsor School cross-country team who was born in 1999. The three came together on Saturday morning, 15 July 2017, when Buntin won the ninth annual Barnes 100 Years 5K, running 19:44 on the Valdosta streets. Vanessa Spry of Valdosta was the women's champion, placing fourth overall in 21:44.
