The threat of rain didn’t stop the 187 runners from completing the 10th Annual Get Smart for Wilton 5K on May 27 to benefit the Wilton Education Foundation (WEF).
Ridgefield runner James Osborn handily won the event with a time of 17:27, shaving off more than a minute from last year’s winning time. He was followed by David Guzick of Fairfield in second place (18:11) and Wilton’s own Davis Cote in third (19:43).
Caroline Mahony was the first finisher of the women’s division to cross the finish line; the Wilton High School freshman finished with a time of 22:56, and came in 15th overall. She was followed by Fairfield’s Lynn Schuster in second (20th overall, 23:23) and Kimberly Burke of Wilton in third (22nd overall, 23:29).
The race attracts participants from all over Connecticut, but it’s also a race in which many Wilton educators and faculty take part. The first member of the faculty from Wilton Schools to finish was Miller-Driscoll School assistant principal Jeremy Cross, who finished 10th with a time of 21:35.
The top three finishers in the 14-and-under division were Billy Bonnist in 6th place overall (21:19), Tristan Burke in 11th place overall (22:14) and Alexander Cohen in the 16th overall spot (23:06).
All proceeds from the race go to support Wilton students through grants and donations made by WEF.
