Run for the Hills 10K

by Rick Platt

Steve Chantry, 57, of Williamsburg won his second consecutive Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix race, extending his all-time record as the oldest male runner to win a Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix race. Chantry was timed in 37:37 to best Craig Connors, 39, of Williamsburg by six seconds (37:43) with Greg Dawson, 47, of Williamsburg third overall (38:01).


The same thing happened for the women as Mercedes Castillo-D'Amico, 55, of Newport News was the oldest female runner ever to win a CRR Grand Prix race. It was also her first CRR victory. Castillo-D'Amico ran a 43:13 to best precocious 14-year-old Grace Carlson, 14, of Signal Mountain, TN by 40 seconds (43:53), with Debbie McLaughlin, 46, of Williamsburg third overall (44:31).

The twin brother of Grace Carlson, John Carlson, age 14, of Signal Mountain, TN was fifth overall in the race with a remarkable time of 39:30. They both run varsity cross country for Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. John (4th on his high school varsity cross country team) has a 5K best of 17:58, while Grace (1st on the girls' varsity team) has a 5K best of 19:41.

There were 310 finishers in the 10K run/walk, organized by and benefiting Beyond Boobs, Inc. of Williamsburg, the women's breast cancer awareness organization.
