Gov Land Award Winners

by Rick Platt

Lee-Davis High School affiliated runners swept the men's overall top three at the 11th annual Governor's Land 5K Run/Walk Saturday at the flat-and-fast course in Williamsburg, as students Paul Adam, 17 (1st, 16:08) and Grayson Morgan, 17 (3rd, 16:13) sandwiched coach Joey Wingo, 25 (2nd, 16:11), all from Mechanicsville.


For the women Karen Terry, 23, of Newport News broke her own women's 20-24 race age group record of 18:06 (from 2011) with a time of 17:44. Runner-up Jennifer Quarles, 40, of Williamsburg was almost two minutes back with her 19:40.

The most notable race of the day, though came from Joan Coven, 71, of West Point, who broke her own Virginia state record for women 70-74 with a time of 25:04. Coven had broken the state record for women 70-74 at the 2011 Governor's Land 5K Run with a time of 25:17, then tied that record at the 2011 Sentara Sleighbell 5K Run.

Two other Governor's Land 5K race age group records were broken--by Langston Shelton, 65, of Grafton (men 65-69, 21:10), and by Pat Eden, 81, of Williamsburg (women 80-and-over, 46:41).
