MT. VERNON, Mo. -- Jake Adams of Mt. Vernon and Alicia Zapata of Monett were the top overall male and female in the second annual Lawrence County 4-H 5K Run for Health, held Saturday, Nov. 16, in Aurora. Adams finished in a time of 21:08 and Zapata finished in 22:09. Both received medals, and gift certificates from RoadID.
According to Karla Deaver, a University of Missouri Extension 4-H youth development specialist, the run was a success on several levels.
“We had participation from nearly all of our existing 4-H clubs in Lawrence County. We had an increase in non-4-H participation, and we had 4-H members and volunteers from other counties who joined us for the race. We raised money for the local 4-H program, and enjoyed a healthy and fun activity together,” said Deaver.
The 50 participants ranged from age 6 to age 55, and award medals were given in several age divisions.
In the 10 and under division, first place went to Aubrey Boatright with a time of 24:22, second place went to Elizabeth Martin with a time of 24:23, and third place went to Seth Callison with a time of 33:29.
