St. Bernard's Leahrose Mami / Josh McBrayer
FAIRVIEW – Fairview's Randall Shedd Community Park was full of eager runners Thursday afternoon as the 2017 Fairview Hay of a Run was set to get underway at 4 p.m. It was the girls who lined up first, and when they were finished, runners from Cullman County had taken the top five spots.
Taking first place was St. Bernard’s Leahrose Mami with a time of 20:30.41. Mami also took first in the Jessie Owens Classic last week in Oakville.
"I just try to get out there and stay in front and gap," Mami said of her ability to run off and leave the rest of the pack. "I took out like normal and just tried to keep a steady pace."
Joining Mami in the top five were Alex McDonald of Fairview in second, Abigail Kusz of Holly Pond in third, Camilla Chambers of Holly Pond in fourth and Bijou Phillips of Good Hope in fifth.

BOYS
Andrew Sweeney of St. Bernard has been on a tear recently, winning several races this year including the Jessie Owens Classic last week. He ran a time of 17:04.54 Thursday to best the next runner by almost 24 seconds.
"Right now, I am running petty well," said Sweeney of his impressive list of victories this season. "I am probably in one of the best shapes I have ever been. Today was an off day."
Sweeney didn't look as if he was having an off day as he was able to cruise into the finish line to best the field of 113 runners.
Rounding out the top five were Hanceville's Aaron Brown, Quinton Chambers of Fairview, St. Bernard’s Caleb Guthery and Conner Lowery from Holly Pond.
