The tenth annual Kappa Delta Shamrock run was held on Saturday, March 5, 2005 on the USM campus with the biggest crowd Hattiesburg has seen for a 5K race in a long time. A group of 173 registered runners started the race, which curved through the Southern Miss campus. This course was a little different from the most recent runs that have been on campus. Yousri Elmejdoubi ran at a very comfortable pace and easily won the race. Robin Ryder came in second and he was closely followed by Tony Sanford. Rickie Sumrall was the Masters winner, and Phillip Wedgeworth was able to take the Grand Masters award. I apologize for not giving much information about the female runners, but I simply don't know their names. However a couple that I do know ran well. Kim Ryder added to the family tradition and placed in the money with a third place finish. Veteran Vicki Copeland took Masters honors. The Pine Belt Pacers were also well represented with Jim Coll, Jerry Worley, Tony Mozingo, Keith Barrett and others running well. Rather than giving trophies, the awards consisted of gift certificates to various businesses in the Hattiesburg area. The after race refreshments consisted of soft drinks, bananas, water, and home made brownies. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to put this race on.
