Devereux takes gold at Million Dollar Challenge
Connor Devereux from Sunset Middle School was the only runner to win a gold medal at the 10th-annual Million Dollar Challenge, held last Saturday on the Coos Bay waterfront.
Each contestant competed against a set of age-graded standards established by the Road Runners Club of America and the South Coast Running Club.
Devereux completed the 5,000-meter race, held in a driving rainstorm, in a time of 19 minutes, 55 seconds, finishing fourth behind a trio of Bandon High School runners. The fastest time was turned in by Brandon Lemerande, who finished in 18:17 and earned a silver medal. Second and third went to Isaac Taylor (18:50, silver medal) and Jared Watkins (19:06, bronze medal).
In the 2,500-meter race, for students age 14 and under, Jacob McAvoy of Sunset earned a silver medal, finishing first in 11:21. He was followed by Shaylen Crook (11:47) and Lindsay Devereux (12:32), both of Sunset. Both girls also earned silver medals.
The challenge, sponsored by Wal-Mart and the South Coast Running Club, drew 43 entrants and netted over $425 for middle school cross country programs in Bandon and Coos Bay.
