Breast Cancer Awareness wins @ 2nd leg of College Classic Series!
Prior to the start of the run, participants were addressed by President of H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) Dr karl Dawson who extended appreciation to the many who came out in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness initiative.
Hundreds of pink balloons were then released into the sky in memory of those who have succumbed to breast cancer.
It was then time for the one and two mile-runs which were brightened with the colours of pink and purple.
Reuben J. A. Stoby then made it two wins out of two in the 2-mile race with Julius Farley taking second and newcomer Jermaine Ricketts third.
Stoby ran most of the race unchallenged again but had to stave off some friendly dogs long the way, and even had to jump over one of them at one stage so as not to break his momentum along the incline for the first mile.
“I was feeling a bit of a back strain earlier in the week so I wanted to take it easy today by just keeping a comfortable amount of distance between the competition to ensure the win,” Stoby said of his run.
Stoby also said it was encouraging to see so many come out dressed in pink for the run which was held in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
On the distaff side, Rosmond Johnson followed up her win in the first leg with victory to come within one win of claiming the series title.
“My plan was not to spend too much of energy on the incline so that I could push it hard on the return. That did it for me,” Johnson stated.
We will publish the full results of the one and two miles races when they become available.
