Here are results from July 4th and July 7. 

Chesterfield Optimist 5K & 10K had about 125 participants in both events (evenly split between 5 & 10K).  Muncie runner Tyler Proctor, 17, won the 5K in 17:09 (5:31), Highland runner, Chris Jones was right behind him at 17:55 (5:46).  Each year this race draws a lot of local high school runners looking for a mid-summer time trial.  Gwen Kemple of Anderson, won the female division in 19:10 (6:10).  The result sheets don’t differentiate walkers and runners in the 5K divisions.  In the 10K Muncie runner Matt Kimbrell won in 35:22 (5:41) and Ann Morris won the female division in 50:34 (8:08).
