In 2018, De La Cruz ran 40:38 in the fifth annual Coach Post 10K, finishing second to David Shearon. On Saturday morning, 13 April 2019, De La Cruz cracked 40:00 in the sixth annual Coach Post 10K, lowering his time to 39:51.

Mohamed Abdeldaim took second in the 10K, running 43:11. Felix Chen placed third in the men's standings and fourth overall in 45:32. Jason Dence was the first master runner in the race, just edged for fifth overall by Chad Prescott, 46:48 to 46:49.

A repeat win for Shearon and a record run for Nelson at the Coach Post 10K

Coach Post 10K & 5KEach April, the Coach Post Run takes places near Panama City Beach, Florida in Saint Andrews State Park. Obviously, the race isn't named after David Shearon. Nevertheless, the master runner from Panama City Beach manages to frequently put his name on it. Most recently, on Saturday morning, 14 April 2018, Shearon ran 40:13 in the fifth annual Coach Post 10K, winning the race for the third time in five years. Panama City, Florida master runner Jennifer Nelson won the women's title, setting a new course record for women of 43:02 and placing fourth overall.


Ivan De La Cruz, a sophomore on the Mosley High cross-country team, placed second in the 10K, running 40:38. It was a better than two-minute improvement on the 42:44 that he had run in the 2017 race, where De La Cruz also placed second. Just two days before this latest effort, De La Cruz had ended his high school track season with a 5:07.31/11:33.46 double in the 1600/3200 at the District 2 meet. Nicolas Waddell, a Mowat Middle School sixth-grader who has been spotted racing cross-country in a Rutherford High uniform, placed third in 42:43.


Port Saint Joe, Florida master runner Dana Black was second in the women's standings and fifth overall in 45:59. Another master runner, Amy Helms of Panama City Beach, was the third woman and tenth overall in 50:18.


69 athletes finished the 2018 Coach Post 10K.
