Seymour High School freshman Hunter Cripps captured first place for the second consecutive year in the 14 and under division during Saturday's Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K. 
Hunter ran the race in 23 minutes and 59 seconds. 
His parents, John and Laura Cripps, and sister Sierra, said they couldn't have been more proud.
The event raised funds as well as awareness for breast cancer.


Great job, Hunter! Next year you'll have to make it three in a row. 

As for myself, I was happy to finish walking the 5K with no mishaps!

The event was more inspirational than I had imagined it would be. Congratulations go out to Mary Deming and her team of hard-working volunteers on their success.
