Texas 10 Series - Huntsville

Finish Strong was well represented at the inaugural Texas 10 Series 10-miler in Huntsville.  The event was part of a new group of races developed and directed by Woodlands Marathon race director, Willie Fowlkes.  Five Finish Strong athletes participated -- Nora Wilson, Josh Scott, Kevin Baker, Amy Antley, and Althea Caldwell.  Three of our athletes had podium finishes -- Nora Wilson and  Josh Scott won their AG.  Kevin Baker finished 2nd in his AG.  

Here are the results:

Josh Scott and Kevin Baker came in 5th and 6th overall and clenched the 1st and 2nd place positions for their 35-39 AG.  Josh finished in 1:13:05 and had a negative split.  Kevin finished in 1:13:26.

Nora Wilson won the W55-59 AG in the 2-loop hilly course in 1:23:44.  She was also 6th overall female in a field of 90 women. Amy Antley finished in 1:33:44 was 5th in her 35-39 AG and 16th overall female.  Althea Caldwell finished in 2:18:36.

 Josh Scott and Kevin Baker are all smiles as they stand 1st and 2nd on the 35-39 AG podium (and 5th and 6th overall)!

Nora Wilson captures her AG win and comes in 6th among all females!

Several partcipants mentioned the hilly course.  Nora noted, "The race went well but OH WHAT HILLS THERE ARE IN HUNTSVILLE!!  It's a double 5-mile loop with one hill after another and nothing like Flintridge."  

Congratulations!
