Khari Creque and Katrina Crumpler, foiled Tarique “Tweety” and his sister Tarika “Tinker Bell” Moses’ quest to become the first brother and sister overall Highland Spring College Classic 5K Series champions in history at the conclusion of the 2014 edition on Saturday morning.
Tarique had beaten Creque who won the series opener in the last two races and a victory would have given him sole possession of the overall title and derailed Creque’s bid for a fourth successive crown.
Creque ran a controlled race, overhauled Tarique to win by 14 seconds in 11 minutes and 36.14 seconds, to grab a share of the title with his main rival.
“I just wanted to run faster than in my other races as my conditioning wasn’t all that good and for the past three weeks, I’ve been focusing on that so it felt pretty good running today,” Creque explained. “I tried to create some separation and keep the separation because I didn’t want to take the chance of a sprinting race coming home with him, so I had to keep the distance between us.”
With Crumpler winning the last race, Tarika the second and Samantha John the first, the title was up for grabs by any of the three females.
Crumpler — fresh off placing fourth in the Diva Half Marathon in Puerto Rico last weekend ahead of facing St. Thomas’ Ruth Ann David in the BVI Sunrise Half Marathon this weekend— held off Tarika’s late charge to win in 13:01.64 to Tarika’s 13:02.75.
“I was the third lady all the time up the incline to the turnaround and I didn’t think I was going to catch them,” Crumpler admitted. “It was only at the top of the hill I passed them. I was pretty convinced they were going to catch me on the way back because they have done in the past. I went down as hard as I could, didn’t look backwards and managed to stay ahead of them somehow.”
It was Crumpler’s first time competing in the series and says her focus is more on the longer races. “I’m quite surprised to win as I’ve never done these races before and it was nice to improve my time over the series,” she stated.
The Rotary Club of Tortola won the service clubs Cross Country division for the 10th successive year and eleven overall. Cedar Secondary pulled off a 3-peat while their parents returned to win the Community Partners division. Joyce Samuel Primary who made their debut this year, finished behind Althea Scatliffe Team I and ahead of Francis Lettsome.
Race Director Stephanie Russ Penn described the final race as excellent with great finishes.
“It started out being exciting not knowing who would be top male, top female and it was just great to see the usual excitement of the participants and persons going out there, pushing themselves and doing their best,” regardless, she pointed out. “It was a really great end to the 19th year of races at the college. Congratulations to all the winners and all who came out and supported the series on Tortola and Virgin Gorda.”
