Piggott and Castillo-D’Amico Win at Sweatin’ for Scholarships 5K Run

by Rick Platt

Lafayette High assistant coach John Piggott, 48, of Williamsburg won another Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix race Friday evening at Clara Byrd Baker Elementary School with a time of 17:09 (the exact same time he ran in 2012) for the second annual Sweatin’ for Scholarships 5K Run in Williamsburg. Piggott fell 11 seconds short of the course record set last year by Lafayette High distance star Kurtis Steck (16:58).


Through nine CRR Grand Prix races for 2013, Piggott has 60 points, followed by Greg Dawson (46), Todd Kessler (45) and Ryan Doupe (39). Dawson, 47, of Williamsburg finished third overall with a time of 18:20, being outkicked by Warhill High 800-meter standout Christopher Short, 16, of Toano (18:14).

For the women Mercedes Castillo-D’Amico, 55, of Newport News (20:30) and Emily Honeycutt, 22, of West Point (20:51) went 1-2 for the second consecutive CRR race, although the margin expanded from one second to 21 seconds. Debbie McLaughlin, 47, of Williamsburg (21:47) was third overall.

That trio also leads the 2013 CRR Grand Prix, although the order is McLaughlin (59 points), Castillo-D’Amico (53) and Honeycutt (43), followed by six-time champion Jennifer Quarles (33), who holds the Sweatin’ for Scholarships course record at 19:33.

Piggott, Castillo-D’Amico and Honeycutt were among the seven age-group record breakers.
