The Courthouse Celebration 5K was
held in Northeast Jackson on Saturday, June 23 with a
group of very fast runners. Only four seconds separated
the first three finishers, and the first and third
finishers are in their 40s. After a few instructions
from race director, Jack Ward, the race started, and the
top four runners were in contention until the very end.
Mark Thorne was the eventual winner with a time of
17.07. He was followed closely by Dale Griffin at 17.10
and Mike Thrailkill at 17.11. Thrailkill was the Masters
winner. Yolanda Brown continued her dominance in the
female division by winning with a 20.01. Teresa Crothers
was the female Maters with a 22.00. Cal Peters took the
Grand Masters with a 19.19. Donna Lee Andrews was the
female Grand Masters winner. The Pine Belt Pacers were
represented by Phillip Wedgeworth and Dutch Van Fleet,
who came in first and third in their age group. This was
a fairly fast, mostly flat course, but the heat was
tough. After the race we enjoyed plenty of water, Power
Aide, soft drinks, cookies and fruit. To me the best
item was being able to use the showers at the
Courthouse. I always enjoy going to MTC races, and it
was especially good to see Nancy Dykes back after
recovering from a serious illness. © Phillip Wedgeworth
