San Angelo 5k rankings

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.

Fanciness, gardens, and you're a guey

 Day 4 was "supposed" to take place mainly outside. The forecast called for rain most of the day and, well, it looked like we would be running ourselves ragged to make the self-imposed time hacks. So, we made a little adjustment. We still decided to go to a couple different gardens. However, we needed breakfast first (let's be honest, it was second breakfast for this hobbit). We went to Confiteria La Ideal for a fantastic breakfast. I had thought it was a smaller place to grab a coffee and snack and then be on our way. However, we walked in and realized it's not that type of spot. The cafe originally opened in 1912 and was long considered the best example of porteno (coming from Buenos Aires) gastronomy for the best part of the 20th century. They closed their doors in 2016 but reopened in 2022 after a massive restoration project.  We also saw that we were way underdressed. Luckily, we could play the ignorant tourist card and, if need be, I could always speak horrendou...

Not Crying for Argentina (Buenos Aires part 1)

Good evening Jordan, it's Sunday and this series comes to you in at least 3 parts. We'll see how long these posts get with the preposterous amount of pictures we were taking. Now, I can say that I started my post on the day we bot back. I will have to take a day or two organizing and editing pictures, so I'll be right back. Promise you won't even know I've left. See? Bueno As has been the ongoing theme for a while now, our planned vacation spot was Peru. This would be attempt #3 to go eat lomo salteado and hang out with alpacas, but as we were starting our initial planning phases, Macchu Picchu was closed down due to protests. With that being such a center piece of a Peruvian plan, we decided to hold off. again. However, we decided to keep it to the same continent. Our highest rated spot was Argentina (yes, we have solo and combined updated top 15 vacation destinations lists) and Gabriel had gone there the year before, giving us some good ideas. I was in school thro...

Art and Futbol (Buenos Aires Part 2)

 I had decided that I would try and get all the pictures edited before getting started on writing this up. After over a week, I'm a bit sick of adjusting the "pop" and "tint" slider bars and need to write a bit. Our days weren't exactly themed as I mostly grouped things by distance and their schedules, but there was plenty of art and futbol on these two days. Sitting just next to our hotel was Teatro Colon. After a pretty solid hotel breakfast of pastries ( medialunas being the classic Argentine breakfast pastry) ham and cheese sandwiches, and coffee, we walked briskly through the rain, hiding under awnings as possible and made our way to what we thought was the front of the theater. As we were to find out the next day, the theater was built before the avenida 9 de julio and so the back of the theater is to the main road.  Walking in, we saw a large group of elementary school-aged children and a sign announcing that the main hall's lights were being tes...
