Biloxi Mayor's Cup 5K
11/11/06

The annual Biloxi Mayor's Cup 5K was held on November 11 on a very warm, humid day with a large group of runners and walkers. After a few instructions from race director, Leonard Vergunst, the mayor of Biloxi gave the signal to start the race.  Several fast runners were present for the race, but Cameron Vincent had little trouble winning with an impressive time of 16.00. The first female finisher was thirteen year old Hannah Nelson with a time of 21.32. Leonard Vergunst won the Masters with a good time of 17.24. Stephanie Weaver was the female Masters winner. Bill Gasparrini and Lu Jeffery won the Grand Masters.  The Pine Belt Pacers were well represented. In addition to the members who live on the Coast, Keli Garcia, Mike Boyd, and Phillip Wedgeworth made the journey to the coast to run and they represented the club well. Keli Garcia and Mike Boyd placed second and third in their age group, and Phillip Wedgeworth placed first in his. After the race we had bananas, oranges, cookies, water, Gator Aide, soft drinks and beer. One of the best features of this race was a long sleeve shirt with no advertisements on it. Leonard and the entire Gulf Coast Running Club did a great job with this race. Much thanks for all of the hard work. Complete results. © Phillip Wedgeworth
