Stephen and Jacob ran in the National Mayhaw Festival 5K Run on Saturday. There were around 60-70 other runners. Stephen finished as the 1st Overall Runner and Jacob finished as the 5th Overall Runner and 2nd in the 14 and under age group. The adults were in complete disbelief as they watched a 10 year old severly outpace them to the finish line. Stephen finished about 2 1/2 minutes ahead of the next place finisher. A group of 3 or 4 adults were bearing down on Jacob with about 1/4 mile to go. When he heard them coming he kicked it into overdrive and pulled away from them.
Stephen got a nice plaque and a $100.00 bill for winning the whole thing. Jacob got a medal for finishing 2nd in his age group.
The Rose City Run is this Saturday. It is a very hilly 10K race. I predict Stephen will finish with a time between 42:00-48:00. The kid who won Stephen's age group last year did so with a time of 54:00.
