Harris and Jackson sail to victory in the River Run 10K

As a distance runner for the Berry College track team, Kyle Harris gets to run all sorts of unusual events. The 10,000 meters isn't that unusual a race, but on the track it's a bit odd--25 times around a 400-meter track. Harris has done that merry-go-round of a race for Berry; his best time is 34:07.06. On Saturday, 3 January 2015, Harris ran 10,000 meters in a less dizzying setting--the 11th annual Bainbridge Kiwanis River Run 10K on a road course around Earle May Boat Basin Park in Bainbridge, Georgia. He successfully defended his 2014 title at the event, posting a winning 39:28. That's a bit slower than his track time for 10,000 meters, but Harris was so far ahead in the River Run 10K that if it had been run on a track, he would not only have lapped the field, he would have lapped the next runner three times.


Mark Tombrink finished second in the 6.2-mile race, beating Max Coady for the runner-up spot 45:56 to 46:23. Kaitlin Jackson of Monticello, Florida, took the women's title, finishing fourth overall in 52:00. Nancy Elam was the first master runner and women's runner-up, fifth overall in 53:08. Kevin Angell took top male master honors, placing sixth overall in 55:32.

In the River Run 5K the 2014 champion was also back to defend his title--Bainbridge High senior Chase Harris. Having also won in 2013, Harris was going for a third win in a row. Additionally, he was the course record holder with a 17:14 set in the 2013 race. However, Arnoldo DeJesus wasn't going to be influenced by any of those credentials. DeJesus had finished third behind Harris in 2014, but not this year. Finishing close to 80 meters ahead of Harris, DeJesus won the 2015 River Run 5K in 19:29. Chase Harris took second in 19:47 and Caleb Harris was third in 20:20. Mark McCarra was the top master in the 3.1-mile race, placing fourth overall in 21:24. Kristi Johnson won the women's title in the shorter race, coming in fifth overall in 24:22. Paula Grollman was the women's runner-up and top woman master, finishing ninth overall in 26:26.

Berry College viking Kyle Harris wins Tallahassee's Tannenbaum Trail 6K

Kyle Harris is no stranger to cross-country running. He just finished his third year of racing cross-country for Berry College, and before that he had been a standout harrier for Grace Christian Academy in Bainbridge, Georgia. Nevertheless, Harris hasn’t seen every cross-country course in the south. He saw a new one on Saturday morning, 20 December 2014, when he arrived at Leon County’s Apalachee Regional Park, east of Tallahassee, for Gulf Winds Track Club’s fourth annual Tannenbaum Trail Cross-Country Run.


“I want to warm up on the course. Which way do I go?” asked Harris. “I’ve never run here before.”


By the 9:00 AM start, the Bainbridge, Georgia, athlete was familiar enough with Apalachee Regional Park to run a winning 20:17. Jilllian Heddaeus of Tallahassee was the first woman in the race, finishing 24th overall in 25:21.


Six kilometers--just over 3.7 miles--is not an unheard of distance in cross country. The junior women’s World Championships is held at 6K, as is the NCAA women’s cross-country championship. In the NCAA-D1 Championships held at Apalachee Regional Park in November, the women ran 6K, a race that Florida State’s Colleen Quigley won in 19:17. The Tannenbaum Trail gave 149 athletes the chance to race 6K on the same course as Quigley and the rest of the Lady Seminoles.


Harris grabbed the lead almost immediately after the start of the Tannenbaum Trail. Tallahassee distance runner Vince Molosky stuck to him in the early going, but Harris managed to break away before the first half of the race was over. After the first of two loops around the course, Harris was twelve seconds ahead of Molosky. Nate Kaiser ran in third, another seven seconds behind Molosky.


Harris maintained his lead through the second loop. Molosky continued to fade, and Kaiser overtook him. In the last few hundred meters Harris appeared to have trouble with his breathing, and Kaiser began to close. Harris managed to hold the lead, though, beating Kaiser to the finish line 20:17 to 20:28. Vince Molosky hung on to finish third in 20:56. Maclay frosh James McClure was fourth in 21:30. The fastest master runner in the race was Michael Martinez, placing seventh overall in 22:39.


Jillian Heddaeus led the women’s competition from the outset. During the first half of the race she established a gap of more than half a minute on the next female runner, Swift Creek Middle School cross-country runner Alyson Churchill. Churchill narrowed that gap during the second half, but Heddaeus stayed ahead, winning the women’s title in 25:21. Churchill finished runner-up in the women’s standings, 26th overall in 25:41. Angela Dempsey of Tallahassee was the third woman and the first woman master, placing 39th overall in 27:50.


It was the final race of 2014 at Apalachee Regional Park. During the autumn cross-country season, ARP had also played host to The Leon County Middle School Championship, the FSU Invitational, the FHSAA 2A District 2 Championship, the Trash Dash 5K the NCAA South Regional, the FHSAA State Finals, and even a Wide Open Rush Obstacle Challenge. By the time the last athlete in the Tannenbaum Trail had crossed the finish line, thousands of feet had pounded the ground on the course during this season. Among the owners of those feet, ARP had made more than a few fans. Berry College’s Kyle Harris was among them.


“This is much nicer than the courses we run,” said Harris.


Keep in mind, though, that everyone is fond of the courses where they win.

Harris and Oslund were rollin' on the river

The tenth annual Kiwanis River Run 10K belonged to the collegians. When the 6.2-mile race through the Bainbridge, Georgia, Earl Maye Boat Basin Park was over, Berry College cross-country runner Kyle Harris had won in 35:43. On the women's side, Darton State College harrier Elena Oslund took the title with a 41:51, a new women's record for the event. Donalsonville, Georgia, master runner Myles Gibson, the 2013 Kiwanis River Run 10K champion, finished runner-up in 38:11. Mary Anne Grayson of Thomasville, Georgia, was the top women master in the race, placing 13th overall in 44:46. 50 athletes finished the race.


It was a chilly Saturday morning on 4 January 2014 when the race started at 9:00 AM. Kyle Harris went right to the front of the 10K field. After a mile of running, Myles Gibson was four seconds behind Harris. Tallahassee's Reikan Lin and Bainbridge master runner Greg Waddell trailed Gibson, fighting for third. A mile later, Harris had stretched his lead over Gibson to nearly twenty seconds, while Lin and Waddell continued to run almost side by side. Halfway through the race Harris had warmed up enough to discard his outer long-sleeved shirt, continuing onward with shorts, T-shirt, gloves, and a one-minute lead. In second, Gibson was over 40 seconds ahead of Lin and Waddell, who were still locked in a duel for third.


Kyle Harris built up a lead of over 600 meters during the second half of the race on his way to posting a winning time of 35:43. Defending champ Myles Gibson hung on to second place, finishing in 38:11 as the first master runner. While racing for third, Reikan Lin and Greg Waddell started to make up ground on Gibson. Late in the race, Lin broke away from Waddell to take third, 38:44 to 38:55.


Elena Oslund just finished her second year of running cross country for the Darton State College cavaliers of Albany, Georgia, but she also has four years of high school cross-country experience competing for North Henderson High in Hendersonville, North Carolina. In the flat Earl Maye Boat Basin, nothing like the western North Carolina hills challenged Oslund. She cruised through the first mile of the Bainbridge Kiwanis River Run 10K in 6:25, leading the women's field. Her nearest competitor, Thomasville's Mary Anne Grayson, was nearly 100 meters back. Grayson would end up running 44:46, which would have won the women's title at eight of the nine previous River Runs. It wasn't fast enough to beat Oslund in 2014. Oslund was the first woman across the finish line, placing seventh overall. Her time of 41:51 took more than a minute off the River Run 10K women's record of 43:11 set eight years ago by Allison Eagen. Grayson was runner-up and top master. Paula O'Neill of Tallahassee, Florida, was the third woman finisher, 16th overall in 47:41. Tallahassee's Michelle Perry was fourth for the women, 18th in 49:02. Dothan, Alabama, master runner Carolyn Houston placed fifth in the women's standings, finishing 19th overall in 49:15.

Bainbridge High senior Dre Banks was runner-up in 18:40.  Another Bainbridge High senior, Paige Braswell, finished at the top of the women's standings, placing sixth overall in 20:11. 35 athletes completed the 5K.
