Ryan Bausback wins while Katie Sherron burns a 17:42 at the Sickle Cell 5K

Five runners shared the lead of the Sickle Cell 5K as they raced past the four-kilometer mark on Saturday morning, 11 September 2021. But during the final kilometer on the streets of Tallahassee, Florida, Ryan Bausback left his challengers behind, winning the race in 17:22. Dr. Katie Sherron was the first woman in the race, placing fourth overall in 17:42.

The race started on Tanner Drive in front of Tallahassee's Jake Gaither Community Center precisely at 8:30 AM. Tallahassee master runner Leonardo Canete bolted out into the lead, shadowed by Ryan Bausback. Christian Minor trailed a few steps back, trailed by Dr. Katie Sherron and Dr. Ryan Truchelut. Two kilometers later, on Springsax Road, those five had gathered into a tight lead pack, well ahead of the rest of the field. Canete was still setting the pace as they headed east to join the Saint Marks Rail Trail.


Canete faded to the back of the group on the Rail Trail. Bausback moved to the front, with Sherron just off his shoulder while Truchelut and Christian followed.

Making a hairpin turn, the athletes left the Rail Trail to head west on Bragg Drive, back toward the Community Center and the finish line. Bausback started to put a gap on the field. Truchelut and Minor overtook Sherron, but their race was for second. Bausback was leaving them behind.


Bausback crossed the line first in 17:22. Truchelut ouckicked Minor for the runner-up spot, 17:33 to 17:34. Sherron followed in 17:42, the first woman in the race. At 17:58, Canete was fifth overall and the first master runner.

It was Bausback's first win at the Sickle Cell 5K as well as his first time running the race. For Sherron, it was her third Sickle Cell, her second time winning the race's women's division, and 17:42 was her fastest time yet at the event.


"That’s my second fastest 5K ever," noted Sherron.

Thirteen-year-old Clifton Lewis placed second in the women's standings, finishing eleventh overall in 19:56--Lewis' first sub-20:00 road 5K. Florida State University undergrad Jane Eiselstein took third in the women's standings with a 20:38, placing sixteenth overall. Eiselstein is an alum of the cross-country team at Girls Preparatory School, the 2020 Tennessee state champions in their division. Tallahassee schoolteacher Vicky Droze was the first woman master and seventh female finisher, 24th overall in 22:19.


119 athletes finished the 2021 Sickle Cell 5K. Gulf Winds Track Club of Tallahassee chip-timed the race.

Ryan Bausback and Megan Noonan soar above the competition at the Bluebird 5K

The Alford Greenway is just one of Tallahassee's many great places to run cross-country. Nearly 200 athletes showed up at Alford to enjoy some cross-country running on Labor Day morning, 6 September 2021, at the fifth annual Bluebird 5K Run For Brookie B. Ryan Bausback led the harriers, winning the race in 18:34. Megan Noonan was the first woman in the field, placing fifteenth overall in 22:18.

After a weekend featuring temperatures not nearly as high and air not nearly as wet as usual, the Tallahassee humidity was back on the morning of the race. The grass on the Greenway was so high and so wet that traversing the course felt more like wading than like running. But the conditions were as much part of cross-country as the hills, and the race got under way at 8:30 AM.

A group of six runners was setting the pace for the field at the 400-meter mark, including three high school runners--Brookwood frosh Kent Grayson, Community Christian senior Keelan Tidwell, and Community Christian sophomore Carson Freeland. Accompanying them were Tallahassee master runner Leonardo Canete, Ryan Bausback, and Hunter Potts.

The high school athletes fell back. With 1200 to go, Bausback was in front with Canete a few steps back and Potts trailing in third. Bausback opened a gap during the final kilometer, going on to win in 18:34. Canete was second in 18:50 and Potts third in 19:01. Behind them, Freeland took fourth in 19:09, Tidwell fourth in 19:48, and Grayson fifth in 19:58.


Megan Noonan was the first woman to reach the 400-meter mark at the Bluebird 5K. She held that position for the rest of the race, taking the women's title in 22:18. Behind Noonan, Community Christian junior Teresa Meli moved up a couple of spots during the race to finish second in the women's standings, placing nineteenth overall in 23:49. Juliana Krueger was the third woman and 22nd overall in 24:50. Lincoln High frosh Sophia Youngberg placed fourth in the women's division and 2th overall in 25:05. Ten-year-old Charlotte Sikes of the Red Hills Running Club was fifth on the women's side and 26th overall in 25:45.

Ryan Bausback goes 17:07, Ann Centner 17:57 for wins at the Medical Response Unit 5K

Courtesy of the Florida State University Medical Response Unit, on Sunday morning, 10 March 2019, you could go to Langford Green and see a variety of emergency vehicles and equipment. The Tallahassee Police Hazardous Devices Team truck was there, with a bomb-handling robot. So was a Leon County Sheriff's S.W.A.T. truck, and an Urban Search and Rescue vehicle, among others.

Ryan Bausback

You could also run the FSU Medical Response Unit's tenth annual 5K. Florida State junior Ryan Bausback did just that, and outkicked Tristan Cravello for the win, 17:07 to 17:09. Ann Centner was the first woman in the race, crushing the women's field with a 17:54, fast enough for fourth overall.


A tour of Florida State University's Tallahassee campus, the race started from Langford Green just after 9:30 AM. Tristan Cravello, a second-year FSU student and the winner of the 2018 Medical Response Unit 5K, set the early pace. Nicholas Samuel, a sophomore on the Lincoln High cross-country team, ran in second, with Ryan Bausback a few steps behind. While Cravello continued to lead, Bausback overtook Samuel during the second kilometer of the race. By the fourth kilometer, Bausback had broken contact with Samuel and was chasing Cravello.

Tristan Cravello

"Me and Tristan were in the same running club, the Seminole Striders," said Bausback. "We run together all the time. We have a kind of friendly rivalry."


With the race almost over, Bausback caught Cravello and sprinted home to win in 17:07. Cravello was second in 17:09 and Samuel third in 17:37. Gary Droze, the Tallahassee Community College cross-country coach, was the first master runner in the race, placing fifth overall in 18:09. Droze had won the Medical Response Unit 5K in 2015 and 2017.

Nicholas Samuel and Ryan Bausback

There are many 5K races on the FSU campus each year, most of which are run on the same course as the Medical Response Unit 5K. After nearly three years at Florida State, you'd think Bausback would have raced the course at least once, right?


"I've never run this loop before," said Bausback. "This is my first on-campus race."


Ann Centner had never seen the course before either, but Centner was only in her second month as a Florida State grad student.

Ann Centner

"I like it!" said Centner. "It was hilly, but I liked going by the places I see every day."


While Bausback took the men's title by two seconds, Centner finished the race more than two minutes ahead of the next woman.


"I just raced the guys ahead of me and close behind," said Centner.

Sheryl Rosen

There weren't many ahead of her. Centner's winning 17:54 put her fourth in the overall standings. Sheryl Rosen, a three-time women's champ of the Medical Response Unit 5K, finished runner-up to Centner and seventh overall in 20:09. Taylor Mogavero was third in the women's standings and eleventh overall in 22:07. Paula O'Neill was the first woman master and fifth female finisher, 26th overall in 25:11.


The Medical Response Unit run was the fourth 5K in a busy weekend of road racing in Tallahassee. The competitive calendar in the weeks ahead is full of events, and Bausback and Centner won't be on the sidelines.


"My next race is the Springtime 10K," said Bausback. "This was kind of a build-up race for that."


"I'm going to do the Springtime 10K, then the Palace Saloon 5K and the Rose City 10K," said Centner.


And that's just March and April.
