Ybarra, Holland win Jones 5K

Despite the threat of rain and an actual downpour leading up to race time, about 30 people came out Saturday to raise awareness of child abuse during the 13th annual Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K.

Tristen Ybarra and Emmarie Holland were the top finishers of the race. Ybarra was the overall winner with the best men’s time, finishing in the 11-19 age group with a time of 20 minutes, 20 seconds. Holland had the best women’s time and was second in the same age category with a time of 22:32.

More than seventy people registered for the event with several choosing the “sleep-in” registration option ahead of time, and other defaulting to that option as storm clouds threatened the event. Shortly after 8:30 a.m., however, the rain subsided to allow the race to take off and remained mostly at bay for the duration.

Complete results of this year’s Chance Jones Roar & Run 5K race are as follows: Top Men’s Time – T. Ybarra, 20:20; Top Women’s Time – Holland, 22:32; 10 and under – first, Hadley Brown 39:24 and second, Monroe Newhouse 44:37; Ages 10-19 – first, T.
