Rush Hatcher and Emily Golden win Tifton's Run For Love 5K

You'd have to think that Rush Hatcher and Russ Benton would be seeing a lot of each other during Georgia's 2024 high school cross-country season. After all, Hatcher was a junior on the Worth County High cross-country team, and Benton a junior on Tift County High's squad of harriers. But on Saturday morning, 3 August 2024, days before the season opened, Hatcher and Benton met on the roads of the Tifton, Georgia campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at the 35th annual Run For Love 5K. Hatcher edged out Benton for first place, both athletes clocking 17:07. On the women's side, Emily Golden won for the ninth time, placing thirteenth overall in 19:30.


Not far behind Hatcher and Benton's duel, Brookwood School sophomore Wesley Warren took third in 17:18. The top master runner in the race was Russell Coleman, ninth overall in 18:45.


Emily Golden's Run For Love women's title was her ninth in eleven years and her third in a row. Golden had first won in 2014 as a Tift Middle Schools cross-country runner, then added more wins as a Tift County High Blue Devil, and even more as an Anderson University Trojan. This was her first Run For Love as an Anderson alum.


Melissa Luke was the first woman master in the 5K, finishing runner-up to Golden in the women's standings and twentieth overall in 21:23. Kali Nicholson, a senior year cross-country runner at Lee County High, took third in the women's division and 25th overall in 22:29.


160 athletes finished the 2024 Run For Love 5K. The races are a fundraiser for the Tift County High and Tift Middle Schools cross-country program.

Emily Golden wraps up her sixth straight Tift Invitational victory

724 high school and middle school athletes came to the Tifton, Georgia campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Saturday morning, 28 September 2019, to compete in one of the four races of the 18th annual Tift Invitational Cross-Country Meet. The Coffee High Trojans put three runners in the top ten of the high school girls' 5K to take the team title in that event, but it was Tift County senior Emily Golden who took individual honors, winning the race in 19:52. Lowndes High was the top team in the high school boys' 5K for the third time in five years, led by their ace, junior Alec Munger, who won the race in 17:09.


Competition opened at ABAC with the high school girls' 5K. You could argue that Emily Golden only visits Abraham Balwin to win races. Each August starting in 2014, Golden has won the women's title of the Run For Love 5K, held at ABAC. Golden also won her first Tift Invitational race that year, the middle school girls' 3200-meter run. She won that race again as an eighth-grader in 2015, then in 2016 she graduated to winning the high school girls' 5K. At the 2019 Invitational, Golden ran the Tift Invitational for the final time in her high school career, collecting a fourth-straight win in the 5K. Maybe she also drops by to take the SAT or something, but for the past six years her main business at ABAC has been winning.


Coffee High senior Abby Arnett was second in the high school girls' 5K with a 21:15. At 21:24, Brianna Zupko, a Worth County senior, was third in 21:24.


Arnett was just the first of three Coffee High runners in the top ten. The other two were sophomore Brayden Bailey (6th, 22:11) and frosh Kate Merritt (10th, 22:46). They were joined by Coffee scorers Zulmia Tapia (36th, 25:22) and Ellie Perkins (57th, 26:47), giving the Trojans 94 points and first place in a field of fifteen teams.


Lowndes High was a close second with 99 points, led by the seniors Tanija Turner (15th, 23:29) and Alexandra Sayre (16th, 23:33). Lee County placed third in the team standings with 109 points; their top runner was sophomore Emily Phillips, who finished fourth in 21:46.

Cameron Kaltschnee wins, Emily Golden gets a sixth-straight women's title at Run For Love

Cameron Kaltschnee was in Tifton, Georgia on Saturday evening, 10 August 2019--the eve of cross-country seasons. For the two years prior, Kaltschnee had spent cross-country season racing for the Beavers of Buena Vista University, a Division III school in Storm Lake, Iowa. Before that, he had worn the colors of Algona High School. In Tifton, though, Kaltschnee was racing on the roads in the 30th annual Run For Love 5K. He won the race by over 400 meters, covering the course around the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in 18:39. Emily Golden, a senior on the Tift County High cross-country team, won the women's title, placing second overall in 20:11.


Bonaire, Georgia's Jared Hammond was runner-up to Kaltschnee in the men's division, placing third overall in 20:13. Blair Golden, an eighth-grader on the Tift Middle Schools cross-country squad, was third in the men's standings and fourth overall in 20:55. Bret Wagenhorst of Tifton was the fastest master runner in the 5K, the fourth male finisher and fifth overall in 21:21.


On the women's side, Emily Golden's win was her sixth in a row at the Run For Love. Tifton's Penny Peters had her own streak at the Run For Love--she has been the top woman master in the race each year since 2016. In the 2019 Run For Love, Peters took top woman master honors by finishing second in the women's standings and 21st overall in 25:56. Tifton master runner Guna Chee was the third female finisher, 23rd overall in 26:26.


77 athletes finished the 2019 Run For Love 5K, with another 24 completing a one-mile fun run. The races are a fundraiser for the Tift County High and Tift Middle Schools cross-country program.

Golden and Golden were golden at the Run For Evers 5K

The rule is that road races are Saturday morning affairs.


The rules get thrown out in the summer, though. People schedule races in the evening to try to avoid the heat. Independence Day race are whichever day of the week July 4 falls on. Summer track meets likewise don't respect any particular day of the week. So it's no surprise that in Tifton, Georgia the Northside Baptist Church chose a Friday evening, 12 July 2019, 7:00 PM start for their Run For Evers 5K. Blair Golden, a rising eighth-grader on the Tift Middle Schools cross-country team, won the 3.1-mile race in 21:15. Ashlee Golden, a cross-country runner at Berry College, was the first woman in the race, placing seventh overall in 23:19.


Aiden Evans was runner-up to Blair Golden in the men's standings, finishing second overall in 21:38. Evans and Golden had been teammates running for Tift Middle Schools during the 2018 cross-country season. Tim Bell was the fastest master runner in the race, placing third overall in 22:40.


Cindy Evers was the first woman master and second female finisher, eleventh overall in 25:12. Emily Golden, a rising senior on the Tift High cross-country team, took third in the women's standings and fifteenth overall in 25:42. Another Golden, master runner Kelly Golden, was the fourth woman and 21st overall in 26:32.


91 athletes finished the 2019 Run For Evers 5K. Bailey Race Management of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race.

Dan Hobby wins and Emily Golden makes it five in a row at the Run For Love

In the Southeast United States, you know that when the muscadines ripen its nearly time for cross-country season. You also know that it's time for the Run For Love 5K in Tifton, Georgia. Dan Hobby won the 29th annual Run For Love on Saturday evening, 4 August 2018, outrunning the field with a 20:00 effort. A top ten finisher in 2017, Hobby had never won the race before, but that wasn't the case for the women's champ. Emily Golden took the women's title for the fifth year in a row, placing second overall in 20:10.


Tifton's Bret Wagenhorst repeated as the top master runner in the race, placing third overall and second in the men's standings with a 20:55. Blair Golden, a seventh-grader on the Tift Middle Schools cross-country team, was the third male finisher and fourth overall in 21:48.


Emily Golden was also a Tift Middle Schools athlete back in 2014 when she won her first Run For Love 5K. Just a few weeks after collecting her fifth Run For Love title, Golden will start her junior year cross-country season at Tift County High. She'll be joined on the team by incoming frosh Ainsley Toews. Toews was the women's runner-up at Run For Love, coming in thirteenth overall in 22:48. Tift County High alum Ashlee Golden took third on the women's side and fourteenth overall in 23:17. Ashlee Golden was the first woman at the 2013 Run For Love, the year before Emily Golden started her five-year winning streak.


Penny Peters of Tifton was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, twentieth overall in 25:26.


Because of construction around the Tifton campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, the Run For Love 5K had to be held on a new course in 2018. 77 athletes found their way around the new route to finish the race. The event is a fundraiser for the Tift County High cross-country team. Tift County High's harriers are scheduled to open their season three weeks after the Run For Love, on Saturday morning, 25 August 2018, at the Cougar Cross-Country Challenge in Tallahassee, Florida's Phipps Park.

A win for Watson and a fourth title for Golden at Tifton's Run For Love

Tift County cross-country hosted the 28th annual Run For Love 5K at the Tifton, Georgia campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Saturday evening, 5 August 2017. The event isn't quite 30 years old yet, and the top runners in the race are even younger. Nineteen-year-old Caleb Watson of Douglas, Georgia, an Armstrong State University cross-country runner, won the 5K in 18:31. Tift County High cross-country runner Emily Golden took the women's title for the fourth year in a row, placing tenth overall in 21:37. 110 athletes finished the 3.1-mile race.


The Run For Love 5K course starts and finishes on the ABAC campus, with the middle portion of the race taking the runners past the cattle farms next to the college. The cows got to see quite a race in 2017, as Caleb Watson, J. D. Bengston, and Cameron Watson battled up front for the win. It was still close at the finish line, but Caleb Watson, a runner on the Armstrong State University cross-country team, grabbed the win in 18:31. A few steps back, Bengston edged Cameron Watson for second, 18:33 to 18:34. Bengston and Cameron Watson are both frosh cross-country runners, Bengston at Tift County High and Watson at Coffee High. Tifton's Bret Wagenhorst was the fastest master runner in the race, placing seventh overall in 20:56.


Including the women's winner, sophomore Emily Golden, most of the top ten women were Tift County cross-country runners. Second in the women's standings, however, went to a Coffee High harrier, sophomore Abbey Arnett. Arnett was sixteenth overall in 23:21. Tift County senior Ashlee Golden, women's champ of the 2013 Run For Love 5K, was the third woman and eighteenth overall in 23:38. Tift Middle Schools eighth-grader Ainsley Toews was the fourth woman and twentieth overall in 23:52. Penny Peters of Tifton was the top woman master and fifth female finisher, 27th overall in 25:32.


Proceeds of the Run For Love benefit Tift County cross-country. Tift County's harriers open their 2017 season with the Winnersville Cross-Country Meet in Valdosta, Georiga on Saturday morning, 19 August 2017.

Hammond and Cauthen weren't just crawling at the Watermelon Crawl

In Tifton, Georgia the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has been home to several road races. The Run For Love 5K has been their annually since 1990 and the Run For The Nurses each year since 2012. The 14th annual Tift County Invitational Cross Country Meet visited the campus last fall. The ABAC Fitness 5K was used to be run at at the college. And since 2014 the Watermelon Crawl 5K has been a July fixture at ABAC.


Bonaire, Georgia athlete Jared Hammond won the third annual Watermelon Crawl on Saturday morning, 9 July 2016, running the 3.1 miles in an event record 19:35. Matthew Fisher, a recent alumnus of the Tift County High cross country team, was runner-up for the second year in a row, running 19:58. Tim Bell and Bret Wagenhorst were in a close race for the top master runner spot, but Bell narrowly prevailed, taking third overall while Wagenhorst was fourth. Both runners were clocked in 21:10.


Allison Cauthen, another Bonaire runner, took the women's title, placing eighth overall in 24:26. Kaycee Goodman was second in the women's standings and ninth overall in 24:45.

Whitehead and Oxenford outrun them all in the Run For The Nurses Half Marathon

Professor Patrick Whitehead of Darton State College was on the Tifton, Georgia campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Saturday morning, 2 April 2016. It wasn't an academic visit, though. Whitehead was there to race the half marathon at the fifth annual Run For The Nurses. The professor won handily in 1:20:44, finishing 2600 meters ahead of the next runner. Thomaston, Georgia athlete Aprille Oxenford was the women's champion, placing eleventh overall in 1:50:41. 67 athletes finished the 13.1-mile race.


Whitehead's time established a new event record, breaking the old mark of 1:21:06 set by Mark McLeod in 2013. Lorenzo Gomez, Jr., of Omega, Georgia took second in the half marathon, running 1:32:29. Johathan Wegner of Rincon, Georgia was the top master runner in the race, placing third overall in 1:40:32.


Cherie McDonald of Sylvester, Georgia was the top woman master and second female finisher, nineteenth overall in 1:55:17. Hahira, Georgia distance runner Melissa Morris was third in the women's standings and 25th overall in 2:02:25.

The half marathon wasn't contested at the first Run For The Nurses in 2012. The event was introduced in 2013, replacing the 10K. Ever since the inaugural Run For The Nurses, though, the 5K has been on the program. Omega master runner Lorenzo Gomez won the 3.1-mile race in 2014 and 2015, but in 2016 he was unseated by Ian Hawkins. Hawkins, a Tifton runner, won the 2016 5K in 19:22, while Gomez took second in 21:05. Tifton master runner Bret Wagenhorst was third in 21:24.


Fourteen-year-old Kenzie Walls of Bonaire, Georgia took the women's title finishing fifth overall in 22:32. Albany, Georgia's Cathy Jones was the top woman master and the women's runner-up, eighth overall in 26:13. Tifton master runner Gina Purvis was third in the women's standings and tenth overall in 27:17.


62 athletes finished the 5K at the 2016 Run For The Nurses.


The ABAC School of Nursing and Health Sciences hosted the fifth annual Run For The Nurses. Proceeds of the event support the Lisa Purvis Allison “Spirit of Nursing” scholarship.

More wins for Funderburk and Wolfenden at the Tift County Invitational

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia, fields teams in baseball, golf, soccer, softball, and tennis, but not cross country. ABAC would have the makings of a fine cross country team, though, if the school enrolled just a few of the distance runners that visited its campus on Saturday morning, 10 October 2015, for the 14th annual Tift County Blue Devil Cross Country Invitational. Competing in four races, there were close to 500 athletes at the meet, some of the fastest in South Georgia, representing high schools and middle schools.


Among those hundreds of athletes was Colquitt County sophomore Elizabeth Funderburk, the defending champion in the high school girls' 5K. That race was scheduled to open the meet at 8:30 AM. Just like at the Pelham Hornet Invitational in August and the Quail Trail Invitational in September, Funderburk won by a ton. Finishing more than 300 meters ahead of the second runner, Funderburk posted a winning 20:15 in the 3.1-mile race. Lowndes sophomore Makenzee Page was second in 21:44, and Bainbridge sophomore Uriyah Davis placed third in 21:54.


Funderburk was Colquitt County's only finisher in the top ten, though, while the Lee County Trojans had three--sophomore Ramsay Miller (8th, 22:46), junior Ansley Cain (9th, 22:48), and frosh Caroline Taylor (10th, 22:51). Add Lee County's next two scorers, junior Ashley Bennett (15th, 23:34) and frosh Rachel Kiesau (17th, 23:46), and the Trojans had a total of 59 points, earning first place in a field of eleven girls' teams. Colquitt County was second with 87, just ahead of the host from Tift County, third with 91.

Kaleb Wolfenden and Poncherella Leonard have got to be tired of seeing each other, but cross country fans in South Georgia aren't tired of watching them race. The two juniors had met five times this season before the Tift Invitational--at the Cougar Challenge, the Lee County Invitational, the Quail Trail Invitational, the Bearcat Invitational, and the Westover Invitational. Lowndes High's Wolfenden had won three of those meetings, but in the other two races Bainbridge's Leonard had finished ahead of Wolfenden. Both athletes were on the starting line at 9:30 AM at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.


This meeting belonged to Wolfenden, who won the race in 16:17. Leonard was second in 16:26, just ahead of Lowndes senior Chance Roe. Roe was third in 16:27. Lowndes' remaining scorers were junior Daniel Swilley (7th, 17:36), frosh Hayden Bills (10th, 18:17), and senior Dylan Rogers (14th, 18:37), totaling 35 points for the Vikings and giving Lowndes the team title. Bainbridge was second with 83 points. Lee County's top runner Robert Grooms (4th, 16:41) outran Coffee's leader, senior Cody Reid (5th, 17:23), but in the team standings Coffee edged Lee County for third, 104 to 108.

Before the Tift Invitational, Emily Golden had wins at the Hornet Invitational, the Lee County Invitational, the Quail Trail Invitational, the Bearcat Invitational, and the Westover Invitational. After the morning at ABAC, the Tift Middle Schools eighth-grader had added the Tift Invitational middle school girls' title to her collection. Her sixth win this season, Golden ran the 3200-meter race in 12:42. Viking Runners Club seventh-grader Eryn Wilkey was second in 13:07.42, while Worth County eighth-grader Brianna Zupko outkicked Lee County sixth-grader Emily Phillips for third, 13:33.30 to 13:34.00.


Tift put all five of its scorers in the top ten--Golden, eighth-grader Caroline Vickers (5th, 13:44), eighth-grader Rebekah Larger (7th, 13:58), sixth-grader Ainsley Toews (8th, 13:59), and seventh-grader Noelia Sandoval (10th, 14:11). Now, a team can still lose with five runners in the top ten, but it's mathematically impossible to beat a team that has less than 28 points, and Tift had 27, putting them on top of the ten-team field. Lee County was second with 73 points, and Berrien edged the Viking Runners Club for third, 100 to 104.

A week after turning a 19:14 5K on the streets of Hahira, eighth-grader Carson Locke won the boys' 3200 at the Tift Invitational, running 11:32. Lee County runners took the next two places, with eighth-grader Ben Phillips second in 11:48 and sixth-grader Josh Macklin third in 11:50. Berrien County eighth-grader Mitchell Kallam was fourth in 11:51 and Tift seventh-grader Bryce Stephens was fifth in 12:01. Tift had four runners in the top ten, but while the Tift boys waited for a fifth scorer, Lee County put seventh-grader Seth Tomlinson (14th, 12:53), eighth-grader Noah Bain (15th, 12:58), and seventh-grader Will Tomlinson (18th, 13:14) across the finish line. After that, Lee County had 52 points and the team title. Tift was second in the field of ten teams with 60 points. Both Berrien County and Coffee had 80 points, but Berrien was awarded third-place in the team standings on the tiebreaker when their sixth runner, sixth-grader Beau Nix (28th, 13:31) finished ahead of Coffee's sixth runner.
