As I mentioned in my last post (Trek 4 Trykes) I've been working on some San Angelo runner rankings over the last few weeks. I guess I have to do something while not in class. I'm going to start with the 5k runners today. These are the folks I'm recruiting if I ever go back down to San Antonio for the Carrabba's 20K relay or American Hero 25K relay.
Some notes on how I got these rankings together -
The premise behind the rankings is answering the following question; if all of Tom Green County lined up for a race tomorrow, what would the finishing order be?
I dug through as many San Angelo area race results as I could from 2015 - today.
I'm taking into consideration runners' best times, head to head and recency/consistency along with just knowing from who I run with.
5K is a particularly hard race to rank. There are many people in town that I know would be on the list, but I don't have any times for them. Katherine Ward, Shannon Corona, and Jacob Klockenga all fall in that category. Guys like Brian Tillman and Kent Fish would probably be on this list if they ran 5ks, but they seem to prefer the longer distances. Also, I know that there are plenty of high school and college runners that should be considered but they don't seem to race at the local level. I also had to take into consideration military runners that are only here for a few months. Jacob Bull would be my #1 5k runner after running some sub 20 5.5k races in the trail series earlier this year. However, he's since moved on to his next base. Finally, I had to take into account races that might be shorter or longer than 5k (such as the trail series) AND factor in road vs. trail performance. What I'm trying to say is that these aren't perfect. But, I'm just doing this for fun, right?
Before breaking runners into their age group, I'll put up the top #25 5K runners. I'll finish with the listing of the top 50 PRs for the last 3 years. I hope you enjoy this. In the future look for more middle distance (8K-15K) and long distance rankings (20K+) as well as a probable overall list I'll come out with. I've got no idea on a timeline as of yet.
