ORANGE PARK - One a senior, the other a freshman as two high schoolers exacted a bit of cold weather speed to win their races at the Florida Striders Resolution Run 5K on a bitter, windy cold morning Saturday at the Bestbet Orange Park Kennel Club.
Jacob Campbell, a senior at Fleming Island High School that just finished his final season as a top runner for the school's cross country team, won by nearly a minute and a half in the men's race with a 16 minute, 39-second effort ahead of Fleming Island High teammate Jacob Sanders who was second at 17:06. Third went to masters runner and multiple athlete dad Gary Myers, who has swimmers and runners in his family tree, who took third at age 52 in 17:41.
In the female race, 14-year-old Episcopal High freshman Stella Krueger won by just three seconds over veteran runner Michelle McCreary, 41, with an 18:54 by Krueger and an 18:57 by McCreary. Uniquely, Krueger's mom, Michelle, 49, also a masters ace herself and a statue in downtown Jacksonville, was third in 17:41.
Master's awards went to Orange Park CrossFit diva Sarah Hernandez, 43, in 21:52 in 50th overall with Jeff Wight, 47, winning the men's masters title in 17:54 in fifth overall.
In the male 80 and overs, 95-year-old August Leone was the oldest finisher with a 47:13 clip to finish fifth in the age group. Diane Payne, 80, was the oldest female competitor winning her age group in 38:23.
A couple of sister pairs highlighted the female races with sisters Eve and Emma Schlottauer, 14 and 18, going 1-2 in the 14-19 age group while two former Fleming Island High swim state champions; Emma and Sarah Grimm, were third and fourth in the 20-24 age division in 23:54 and 24:21.
