Highlights from the 6th annual Jameson 5K
by Donnie O'Neal, 11/4/2006

The weather was perfect at Southwestern University's Campus in Georgetown for the 6th annual Jameson 5K.  The 5K Run and Walk course traveled along Georgetown city streets and part of the San Gabriel Hike and Bike Trail.

Over 300 participants came out to enjoy the mildly challenging course. Among the participants, Southwestern University's Cross Country Team came out in full force placing 4 men in the top 5 male positions and 2 of their women in the top 5 female positions overall. 

The men's overall finish came down to a sprint between two Southwestern athletes, Jameson Otto and Aaron Contreras with Otto narrowly edging out Contreras at the line with a time of 16:16.  29 year old Meredith Johnson-Fluck (Southwestern alumni '99) from Cedar Park easily won the women's race in 19:48. 

Long time Austin area racers Jesse Devlyn and Lynn Doelger took the Men’s and Woman’s Masters race.  Devlyn ran a time of 18:27 for a 6th place overall finish while Doelger ran at a 6:37 mile pace for a 20:40 time and a 4th overall place for women.

This is one of those fun small town running/walking events to put on your calendar for next year.

All proceeds from the 5K benefit the Jaysn Jameson Memorial Scholarship Fund at Southwestern University.
