The 2007 Loose Caboose was held
in Newton, Mississippi on Saturday, March 3, with about 50
people participating in the run/walk. After a few
instructions from the race director, Ed Snodgrass, we were
off on a very challenging course with lots of hills and
turns, but the item that bothered me the most was a very
large dog at about the 2.5 mile mark. Jason Murray took the
early lead and held it for about a mile before he was caught
by the eventual winner Randy Barrett. Barrett finished first
with a time of 20.06. He was followed by Scott Crenshaw at
20.27 and Jason Murray at 20.45. The first female finisher
was Vicki Alexander at 24.40. She was followed by Jill
Miller at 26.16. The race had ten year age groups with only
one award per group. Kyle Laird was the under 20 winner at
24.09. Jason Murray was the 20-29 winner with a 20.45. Ray
Henderson, running in his first race, took the 30-39 age
with a 23.00. Randy Barrett was the 40-49 winner at 20.06.
Phillip Wedgeworth was the 50-59 winner at 21.17. Bob Glen
traveled over from Meridian to win the 60+ with a 28.01. We
were a little short on female runners. Jill Miller was the
under 20 winner at 26.16. Robin Lester was the 20-29 winner
at 32.48, and Vicki Alexander was the 40-49 age winner.
Larry Sykes, Curtis Fancer, and Jan Crenshaw were the top
three race walkers. Winners received rather unusual awards.
Each winner got a hand painted railroad spike. After the
race we enjoyed good refreshments while visiting with old
and new friends. Thanks to the workers who made this race a
success. © Phillip Wedgeworth
