Photo/Tom AtwoodThe 2005 course record set by Dustin Davis is still safe, but yesterday, 32-year-old Zac Freudenburg established a new meet record for the Mud Mountain 5K Classic, running 3.1 miles in 15:37. The record Davis set 5 years ago (15:36) was accomplished during an IHSA sectional meet, which was held on the Mud Mountain course at SIU Edwardsville. So Davis still holds the course record, but now, Freudenburg has the Mud Mountain record. And not far behind, running the 2nd fastest time ever at the event, is Eric "Jo Jo" Johannigmeier, the EHS grad who clocked in at a speedy 15:48 yesterday.
In terms of overall attendance, records were set for the 5K (600 runners - 582 in age divisions plus 18 Clydesdale runners), and a new record was set for total registrations (708). Both marks eclipse last year's race, which was held on a much cooler day during a much cooler summer.
