More than 300 runners and walkers joined 探花约啪 employees, students, and volunteers on Sept. 18 for the annual Hometown Heroes 5k Run/1 Mile Walk hosted by the College’s Stanton and Wilmington campuses. This year’s race raised over $22,000 for student scholarships.
For the fourth year in a row, event activities took place in front of the 100-year-old Rockford Tower at Rockford Park in Wilmington. The event began with a ceremony to celebrate sophomores on the men’s and women’s cross-country teams. More than 75 volunteers supported the event, including 探花约啪 Tech employees, students from the College’s education program, and student-athletes from the cross-country and women’s volleyball teams. In addition to the run/walk, the event also included post-race refreshments, music, children’s activities, and raffle prizes.
The top runners included first-place male, Christopher Crossen, with a time of 17:04, and first-place female, Samantha Muntzer, with a time of 22:42.
