Yorktown Victory Run 2013

By Rick Platt


Williamsburg's John Piggott, 47, won for the second straight year at the 9th annual Yorktown Victory Run 8 Miler, on a scenic point-to-point course from Newport News Park, through the Yorktown Battlefield Tour Roads, and ending at the Yorktown Victory Monument. Piggott was timed in 46:50 (12 seconds slower than last year) to best 2011 Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix champion Todd Kessler, 30, of Newport News (47:25) and Ocean Lakes High School runner Daniel Read, 17, of Virginia Beach (47:43).

Nicole Park, one of the leading AAA high school runners in Virginia, set a women's 15-19 race record with her winning time of 54:49, besting six-time CRR Grand Prix champion Jennifer Quarles (55:10). Park, a junior at Ocean Lakes High, was second in the Virginia AAA state cross country championships in 2011, then seventh in 2012 at states. She also won the district and AAA regional cross country titles last fall. A multiple district and regional champion in indoor and outdoor track at the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, Park has track bests of 10:41 for 3,200 meters and 5:05 for 1,600 meters.

If you won an award at Saturday's Yorktown Victory Run 8 Miler, and could not stay around for the awards ceremony, all unclaimed race awards will be brought to the next Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix race, the Queens Lake 5K Run at New Quarter Park on Saturday, April 6th. Information for the Queens Lake 5K Run is on the CRR website, and entry forms can also be picked up at Colonial Sports, 513 Prince George Street, in Williamsburg.
