Lots of great competition showed up for the large purses being offered at the ISO Circle the City 10K & 5K. In the 10K Thomas Chorny (30 from Bloomington, IN) won with a time of 30:55 (4:59) with the top 5 rounding out at 31:40 (5:06). Second place was from Texas and third came from Illinois. In the female division Erin Nehus (26 from Gallipolis, OH) won in 35:32 (5:44) with second place running 35:54. FYI: Bob Bragg won the male masters in 35:06 (5:40). The 5K had fierce competition with John Parson (25 of Indy) winning in 16:06 and second place finishing in 16:07 Kyle Murray (19 of Morgantown). That’s a 5:12 pace. First place female Lucie Mays-Sulewski (36 of Westfield) won in 18:15 (5:53). Over 500 participated in this year’s event.
One-hundred and fifteen participants showed up for the Norris Insurance Converse 5K race. BJ Needler of Wabash won in 15:54 (5:07) an impressive 13 second in front of Scott Colford in second place. Annina Gruber ran 21:06 (6:47) to be the first female in this event. Thirty-eight walkers were led by Richard Haynes with a finish of 28:48 (9:16) and first place female Mary Miller who finished 5th overall in 33:04 (10:38). The mile fun run was scored with Jacob Gillem running a 4:02 and Lindsay Holt running a 4:40. Watch out for the recruiters!
I had trouble finding results again this week so these were all I could find. If you know of other results let me know!
The Norris Insurance fun run was not a mile. I am sure you know. I set the turn around some shorter because I just had little people and I wanted to get the 5K started at 8:00 because of the heat. But Sat was the best day for the humidity compared to Friday and Sunday.
