Oglethorpe Hosts Annual Stormy Petrel Classic

The busy Oglethorpe campus served up its annual cross country classic today. Ten women’s teams and nine men’s teams traversed the surprisingly challenging race course. A favorite of many runners, the course features narrow, winding woods trail with unexpected hills and long gradual climbs from the back of the campus to the academic quadrangle where the races start and finish.

The University of West Georgia won both the men’s 8k and the women’s 5k. Oglethorpe’s men were 6th of nine teams entered while the women finished 6th of 10 teams entered.
For the men, Enrique Sanchez led the way finishing 6th place overall in a time of 28:41. He was followed by Luis Zimbron, Ellis Jones, Sean Lovett, Alex Van Zandt, Tony Golden, Tim Tanko and Brandon Morse. For the women, Beth Cleary led finishing 12th overall in a time of 21:28. She was followed by Bekky Strom, Avery Livingston, Sarah Foster, Michelle Chelemer, Sherry Blystone, Bianca Hernould, April Tolley, Chelsea Couch and Bethany Booth.
