Cape Woods Extravaganza XC 5K

Cape Girardeau, MO -- June 9, 2012  (Results @ Cape Road Runners: (http://www.caperoadrunners.org/results.htm)

The former Spring Classic to benefit the Cape Girardeau Police Department's K-9 Unit gets a new venue and a new look for 2012.  The third race of the Grand Prix Series moves off-road to the grassy grounds of The Osage Center for the inaugural Cape Woods Extravaganza Cross Country 5K.

There was an audible buzz in the local running community the days and weeks leading up to the event as several road racers openly expresssed some apprehensions for the unfamilar.  Fortunately, the race day field of 68 would include a few prominent harriers from the college and high school ranks to show the way.  Southeast Missouri State and OVC standout Chris Loseman would lead the pack from the gun as he coasted to a 16:12 overall win.  Maryville University's Ashley Schmittzehe returns home to take the female overall.  The first year Saint finishes in 22:02.  Norte Dame Regional HS stars Adam Raines (19:14) and Jacob Cieslewicz (20:00) finish third and fourth overall.

50-59 age groupers Ron Rosati and Lisa Dohogne remain perfect with another 100 points each as they plow through the Grand Prix competition.  The series heats up with the weather in July as two events (The Capaha Classic and Hoops for Life 3) are sure to shake out and shape up the standings.
