The first race of the day was the youth/elementary girls 1 mile.  It was a very close one with Michelle Smith Eulalie Rivera School/St. Croix Track Club going back and forth with Tyanna Stanley Lake of Free Will Baptist/Hounds & Foxes Track Club.  They were stride for stride with less than 50 meters to the finish as Smith sprint to the finish to win the race in 6:39; Lake was a very close second in 6:44; Mya Pimentel of Pearl B. Larsen was third in 7:31.  Both Smith and Lake were Virgin Islands National Track and Field Team Members at this summer’s CAC Age-Group Championships in Trinidad. Michelle is the sister of Malique Smith former ECHS star.

The youth/elementary boys had the largest number of runners at 105. Bryce Richards of Good Hope Country Day School led the way over the fast 1 mile course with a time of 6:03;  James Beck and his brother of Freewill Baptist School would go back and forth for the lead with Richards to make a competitive and exciting race for dozens of parents and fans to watch. James was right on the heels of Richards with a time of 6:07 followed by his brother Linton, his time was 6:17.

Good Hope Country Day School dominated the junior/Junior Varsity boys 2 mile with Jack Ramsdell leading the field of 25 boys to the finish in 11:30; Nayan Bansal GHCD was second on 12:05 and Hasani Lynch GHCD was third in 12:48

CAC Age-Group National Team and the V.I. Special Olympics Team was third in 15:10. Smith is also the sister of Malique.

 

The varsity boys competition over the past several years has been dominated by St.Croix Educational Complex High School; with the graduation of Malique Smith, now running at the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff that may be no longer as the runners from St. Croix Central High School took two out of the three top positions including Kevin Mathurin who finished first over the 3.1 mile course in 20:25; Tyler Flavia of GHCD took second in 20:44 and Phillip Francis of St. Croix Central High School took third in 20:52.

There were only a few runners in the open category of the 5k event and Juan Robles took a break from his duties as coach at St. Croix Central High School to basically make the race a training run as no one was near him except for the start.  Benefiting from his high altitude training camp in Colombia with former teammates at Turabo University in Puerto Rico, he clocked a time of 16:18; UVI student Dustin Gallegos was second in 21:31 and Randall Neilsen was third in 21:34.  The open runners and the female and male varsity runners ran in the same race.
