The Old Jo’s Firecracker 5K had a little more than 130 participants on Sunday morning in Saint Jo.
With runners/walkers as young as five and as old at 82, it was a fun time for all people to get their steps in before brunch and not feel guilty for pigging out later in the day for the July Fourth holiday.
All proceeds for the race went to the Easy Street Animal Shelter in Saint Jo.
The overall top runners were teens Caden Blitz for men and Allie Brown for women. Blitz time of 17:52 was more than a minute and half faster than second place.
Brown’s time of 21:34 allowed her to finish ninth overall.
Besides the overall winners, there were first place finishes in each of the 18 age group categories.
Winners included Catherine Bartu Elliott, Caleb Hodgkinson, Tatum Morman, Nathan Hesse, Rachel Hesse, Alex Shelton, Abby Childress, John Paul Hesse, Erika Bryan, Richard Molinaro, Lauren Miller, Brandy Beard, Rose Ganzan, Neil Hesse, Tami Crowley, Bert Hesse, Mary Kaplan and Daniel Brown.

The chip times for all winners are in the mid-week edition of the Bowie News.

In its’ second consecutive playoff trip, Bowie’s volleyball team gave it a valiant effort against San Angelo Texas Leadership Charter Academy. The Eagles proved to be too much with an athletic frontcourt proving too much in a 3-0 win (25-20,25-21,25-18) Oct. 29 at Breckenridge High.

Bowie led midway though all three sets but the Eagles were able to come from behind and pull out the win.

The Eagles got out quickly with a 5-0 lead in the opener. The Lady Rabbits showed some gumption and stormed right back with a Taelyn Webb dink breaking serve. Junior Molly Enlow rolled off four points to knot the game at five. KP Rutherford’s kil kept the drive alive.

Olivia Stewart’s kill set the stage for Serenity Klump’s three-point string. Frontcourt work by Ellie Mowery and Stewart allowed Bowie to take a 10-9 lead. Bowie maintained the lead thanks to dinks by Abby Reneau and Stewart, which forced the Eagles into a timeout.
