Centerville’s July 4th celebration kicked off with the annual Stu’s Country Mile 5K race and One Mile Fun Run early Saturday morning. There was a good crowd of participants for the events, named in memory of Centerville’s Stuart Gregory.

Some Buffalo participants added a fun twist to the 5K race. Although not officially competing for a time, four individuals (Carl Nelson, Ryan Cheek, Kirby McNair and Dustin Mc- Cabe) formed a relay team to try to beat Chad Nelson. The foursome turned in a good effort, but Chad still managed to outpace them by about thirty seconds.

The top finisher in the 5K race was Sean O’Reilly in a time of 18:23, and Lashawn Johnson led the women with a time of 22:34. Top finishers in the age group divisions were:
