Buffalo Boogie has record crowd for 20th anniversary
Close race for the money at Forest Hills Lions Club
Besides the two races above, there were, as always, several other road races in the D-FW are on May 12. And there were some interesting results. At the Dash & Dine 5K in Dallas, Kendall Howen, 18, of Dallas was the first finisher with an 18:09 gun time, beating male winner Anthony Harris, 34, of Arlington, who had a gun time of 18:46.3. At the Five & Dime, the 5-mile overall female was masters runner Leana Sloan, 49, of Grapevine with a 36:37. In the 10-mile race, another masters female was first across the line as 60-year-old Linda Kelly of Dallas with a 17:17:19. And another masters runner, 46-year-old Laura Nelson of Grapevine carted off an overall female award with a 19:53 at the Fort Worth Runners Club's Mother's Day Run. The Forest Hills Lions Club race, which lured some fast runners with $100 as the top prize, came down to just four seconds for the male title. Agustin Hernandez, still one of the top runners in the area at 41 years old, nipped another top area runner, Clint Bell, with a 14:53 over the 3-mile course. Bell finished in 14:57. The female race was close, too, as Olivia Olguin, 16, nipped masters runner Cora Turner, 43, by 15 seconds by posting a 19:07. At the Head For the Cure in Plano, former Dallas White Rock Marathon winner and a previous Olympic Trials qualifier 50-year-old William Moore won the male title with a 16:41.9, beating Grant Buley, 16, of Wylie by about 9 seconds. The results have again been corrected. The first correction replaced the female overall winner with another runner, but Run Far Racing Services said the correction should have been the female masters winner and has resent the results.
