Results of 32nd Annual Founders’ Day 5K Released

STAR's Founders' Day 5K competitorsThe 32nd running of the St. Thomas Association of Roadrunners’ (STAR) Founders Day 5K took place on Sunday. Oct. 5. Juan Robles, who had inspired St. Thomas runners with his victory in June’s Olympic Day Run, came over from St. Croix again, challenged a strong field, and took the men’s division with a time of 16:45. Last year’s winner, Shane deGannes, finished a strong second in 17:08, bettering his winning time of last year over the 3.1-mile course.
Ruth Ann David won the women’s competition in 19:18, just 12 seconds short of the course record. Hers and Robles’ times were the fastest for this course in over a decade. Stephanie Osborne was first in her age group and second woman overall in a time of 25:47. Teenagers Karan Gaikwad and Gregory Christian, less than a week after tough cross-country races, finished one and two in 26:18 and 29:59, respectively. Amazingly, every individual who had run this race in 2013 posted substantially better times this year.
Winners in other age groups were Melina Diaz, Candace Grant, Jack Hullins, Steve Laplace, Collette Monroe and Mike Sheesley. Complete results are listed below.

STAR’s next race is the Men’s Two Miler at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 12. Then on Oct. 19, the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 2 Mile Walk/Run will take place at the WICO Dock in Havensight.
