A trio of competitors, two recent graduates and one coach from Williamsburg high schools, were in the men’s lead pack for most of the 3.1 miles at the 10th annual Warhill 5K Run, held Saturday morning at the Warhill District Sports Complex in Williamsburg. They sorted themselves out shortly before the finish line at WISC, with Jamestown High School ’s Andrew Richards, 18, winning in 17:08, followed by Lafayette High School ’s Kurtis Steck, 18, in 17:12, and Lafayette High coach John Piggott, 48, of Williamsburg in 17:14.
For the women in the Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix race, Mercedes Castillo-D’Amico, 55, of Newport News held off a fast-closing Emily Honeycutt, 22, of West Point , for a one-second win, 21:01 to 21:02. Third went to Susan Hagel, 40, of Norfolk in 23:07.
Both Piggott (men 45-49) and Castillo-D’Amico (women 55-59) broke race age-group records. The event was organized by and benefited the Virginia Legacy soccer team.
