5th Annual SMI Spartan 5K and Kids 2K Results

In the very chilly early morning on Saturday, May 14, almost 200 runners and walkers gathered outside SMI to participate in the 5th Annual St.Mary Immaculate 5K and Kids 2K Run/Walk. Just prior to the start of each race, prayer was said and the national anthem sung by an SMI school family. School parents volunteered on the course directing the runners, in the booth cheering the runners as they finished, and in the Gym serving pancakes at the award ceremony for both races. We were truly blessed with the efforts and dedication of all the volunteers even though the weather didn’t always cooperate, which led to a wonderfully enjoyable event for all. The 5K overall male First Place winner was Scott Nichols of Plainfield with a time of 19:31. The 5K overall female First Place winner was Kelly Testin with a time of 25:51. Overall Second and Third Place males in the 5K were Barry Clark and Ben Ebersole. Overall Second and Third Place females in the 5K were Tammy Barbie Daniels and Megan Tanner. In the Kids 2K, 10-year-old Matthew Naughton was the overall male First Place winner with a time of 8:33. The overall female First Place winner was 9-year-old Ella Dwyer with a time of 9:04. Overall Second and Third Place males in the 2K were Spencer McFarlane and Kiefer Salva. Overall Second and Third Place females in the 2K were Jordan Reeves and Emma Neushwander.
