It was an especially speedy start.

Although Preston Brashers finished the jogger’s mile far ahead of anybody else, and was a mere 3 seconds over his predicted time (5:48/5:45), he still didn’t technically “win” because two other runners were only 2 seconds off their own predictions: Tina Chang (9:03/9:05) and young Emmerson Gillanders (9:22/9:20).

Still, it set an appropriately impressive tone for things to come at the fourth weekly Kiwanis All-Comers Track Meet at Bainbridge High School Monday, July 29.

A tone that was maintained like a well-paced runner settling into a marathon stride.

The Review’s Luciano Marano was there, camera in hand, to capture the action. His favorite shots are collected here.
