Big South 5k Team Award – TrySports Team

There were 13 teams entered in the Big South 5k Team competition and fortunes were smiling down on the TrySports team. They were able to take the top honors with a combined team time of 49 minutes and 54 seconds for their top 3 runners which averaged out to a 16:38 pace. This was 4 plus minutes ahead of the second place team.

Below is a breakdown of the team's performance is displayed below.

The team was led in by Chris Lamperski who is returning to Charlotte after winning the Wine Glass ½ marathon last weekend. Pacing close behind Chris was Mike Kahn. Mike showed unbelievable speed early on pushing Chris through the opening miles before closing out the race with a 16:23 time and a personal 5k record. Glen Carroll is fast rounding into shape with an 18:08 time and was followed by newly wedded and setter of a personal 5k record Jeremy Walton in 19:36. This was the first time that Jeremy has dropped his 5k times under 20 minutes. The ladies made a solid showing as well. Julie Kelada, who had run the course earlier in the week in 23 minutes, was worried if she could do it. Julie showed she can do it. Kaitlyn, Jeremy's new bride, showed that being married has not slowed her down.

All team members either work for TrySports or are on the TrySports Ambassador team.

Congrads on an awesome Team effort guys.
