MC2: City of Conroe Turkey Trot 5K

Seventy-four (74) runners finished the 3rd annual City of Conroe Turkey Trot 5K on a cool, cloudy Friday morning at Carl Barton, Jr. Park.

Conroe's Jason Garcia, 16, outleaned Spring's Jacob Mazone, 45, to the finish line for the win as the pair covered the 5-kilometer mixed terrain course in 17 minutes and 30 seconds.

With the second place overall finish, Mazone was still the leading masters finisher. Mazone led 55-year-old Stephen Smith and 44-year-old Paul Brundage, both who reside in The Woodlands, in the masters division. Smith stopped the clock in 22:01 while Brundage punched in with a time of 23:13.4.

Mazone's 15-year-old son, Joseph, who was third the day before in the boys' teen race at the 18th annual Run Thru The Woods, was third overall just 31 seconds behind his father with a new personal record (PR) of 18:01.2.

Conroe Triathletes' Meredith Bryarly, 28, of Conroe, was the first female finisher across the line in 24:34.

She was followed across the finish line by 38-year-old Jennifer Johns and 19-year-old Shelby Fives in 24:50.6 and 25:11.1, respectively.

Winning the women's masters race was Montgomery's Ruth Fields, 48, who easily defeated fellow Montgomery native Kim Driver, 41, and The Woodlands' Cathy Steele, 43, with a time of 27:23.8.
