Yesterday I wrote about my race at the Pop Weaver 5K, here is a recap of the event and other races from the weekend:

The Weaver Popcorn Kernal Klassic was swept by the Gillette family of Niles, MI.  Justin Gillette, 24 won in 15:18 (4:56) and beat local favorite BJ Needler (sadly this bumped Needler back into the age group rankings, giving me a 2nd place). Ron Sharp won the Masters in 16:48 (5:25) and placed 3rd overall.  Melissa Gillette won the female division in an impressive 18:22 (5:55) over a minute ahead of her closest competitor and placed her 13th overall.  The female Masters winner was Katherine Mitchell of Marion in 22:05 (7:07).

The First Lady’s Walk was not a scored event.

The Club Kokomo Age Graded 4 Mile Run was won by Doug Balogh, 55, in 28:34 (his actual 4 mile split was 24:04 [6:01]).  The first place female was Carla Yerkes, 47, won ran 29:54 (her actual 4 mile split was 27:39 [6:55]).  The 5K walk was won by Rick Spencer, 53 in 32:07 (10:20) with the female winner Mary Miller, 47, walking 33:19 (10:43).  If I understand this correctly, they age-graded by making you start after the clock started.  If you were 75+ then you started with the gun, but if you were 17 or 35 then you started 8:15 behind the clock.

The Hagerstown Jubilee 5K results haven’t been posted yet.  But they can be found here.
