Harriers Cleveland and Phillips lead the Love Run

On the streets of Albany, Georgia Trevor Cleveland won the fourth annual Love Run 5K on Saturday morning, 11 February 2017, running 18:53. Emily Phillips won the women's title, placing twelfth overall in 23:23. 121 athletes finished the 3.1-mile race.


Cleveland, the winner of the race, is a junior on the Lee County High cross-country team.

Whitehead and Sheppard win the first 10K at the 21st Crowdis Run

A lot changed about the Dr. James H. Crowdis Run in 2017. After being contested twenty times over 37 years as a five-kilometer race, the main event changed to a 10K. After four years of running in July, the date of the Crowdis moved to the other end of the calendar, changing to 21 January 2017. The course changed. The starting line and the finish line changed.


It was still a Blakely, Georgia race, though. The run still started and finished at the First United Methodist Church. And the winner was still Patrick Whitehead. The Darton State College professor shrugged off the change from 5K to 10K and claimed his second straight Crowdis title, covering the 6.2-mile course in a winning 36:24. Katie Sheppard, a frosh on the Southwest Georgia Academy cross-country team, claimed the women's title, placing ninth overall in 54:43.


Enterprise (Alabama) High cross-country runner Michael Warner finished runner-up in 41:23. Bainbridge High junior Haydn Griffin took third in 44:03, and Baconton County sophmore Gregory Manning was fourth in 45:07. Dylan Hrncik was the fastest master runner in the 10K, placing sixth overall in 48:30.


Stephanie Odom of Colquitt, Georgia was the fastest woman master and second female finisher, eleventh overall in 55:29. Bainbridge, Georgia master runner Suzanne Angell was third in the women's standings and sixteenth overall in 57:56.

The 5K wasn't dropped from the program of the Dr. James H. Crowdis Run, though; it only lost top billing. Trevor Cleveland won the shorter event by nearly 400 meters. A junior on the Lee County High cross-country team, Cleveland completed the 3.1-mile course in 19:23. Alli Hay, a senior-year cross-country runner at Pataula Academy, was the top women and overall runner-up in 20:23. Dale Thomas was the fastest master runner in the 5K and fourth overall in 21:01. Debra Hunter-McCoy was the first woman master and sixth female finisher, 21st overall in 24:51. Hunter-McCoy had been the women's champ at the 2012 Crowdis 5K.


33 athletes finished the 2017 Dr. James H. Crowdis 10K, with another 58 completing the 5K.
