Teenagers Knox and Wadsworth win Rusty Rudder 5K
The low rumbles of distant thunder and nearby trash trucks greeted 151 runners for the Rusty Rudder 5K July 13 in Dewey Beach.
Carter Knox, 19, of Manchester, Md., was the overall winner in 17:36. Knox didn't get to break the banner at the finish, as that honor went to an anonymous runner who cut the course short. He was disqualified and scrubbed from the results.
Kyle Brightbill, 49, was second overall and first masters finisher in 18:12.
Ella Wadsworth, 16, of Phoenix, Ariz., was first overall woman in 21:39. The female masters winner was Brittany Edelmann, 42, of Vienna, Va., in 21:48.
The first 30 runners broke 25 minutes, which is a pace of roughly eight minutes per mile.
