Both Victor Flemming, 34, of Carrollton and Jennifer Quarles, 41, of Williamsburg broke course records Saturday morning at the Toano ICY 8K Run, on a course starting and finishing at the Toano Middle School, and on a mostly flat course down nearby residential, wooded and scenic Church Lane.
Flemming ran a time of 26:54, almost two minutes faster than the previous course record of 28:42 by John Piggott, 47, of Williamsburg, the 2013 race winner. An eighth-grade phenom, Jack Ikenberry, age 14, from Mechanicsville, was second overall in a remarkable time of 28:42. Third overall was professional triathlete Adam Otstot, 31, of Willamsburg, the physical education teacher at Rawls Byrd Elementary School in Williamsburg, who still ran a 28:50 despite pushing Ryan Wilson, age 7, of Williamsburg, in a stroller, as part of the United Athletics program for Special Needs Children.
For the women six-time Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix champion Quarles ran a time of 32:11 and broke by over two minutes the previous race record of 34:16 by Debbie McLaughlin of Williamsburg, the 2013 race winner. McLaughlin, 48, improved her time by 13 seconds to 34:03 to finish second overall. William and Mary grad student Emily Honeycutt, 22, of West Point was third overall for the women in 35:06.
The level of competition was much higher this year as, in addition to the two course records, seven men’s age group records were broken and seven women’s age group records were broken, along with the women’s race walk record. The race walk winners were Scott Stakes, 51, of Portsmouth (50:42) and Sylvia Garcia, 61, of Williamsburg (1:01:40).
The Toano ICY 8K Run was the first race in the 2014 Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix series, this year expanded to 22 races from February to December. Check out the club website at www.colonialroadrunners for the full schedule info and upcoming entry forms.
Despite predictions of possible wintry weather Saturday morning (which fortunately did not happen), there were 121 finishers in the 8K run/walk in 2014, similar to the 129 finisher for the inaugural 2013 race. However, the participants in the 1 mile fun run made a huge increase from the 9 finishers in 2013 to 59 entrants this year, mainly due to the change to a “Color Run” where participants had colored flour thrown or air blown on them during the two loops around the Toano Middle School athletic fields. All the kids, and a few adults, had a great time with this unusual event. Two participants, Bob Curtin Jr., 61, of Hampton, and Abigail Sabo, 11, of Williamsburg, did both the Color Run and the 8K run.
