Deltaville’s William Driscoll turns in top time in race on day of triple digit temps
The Deltaville 5K annually attracts hundreds of competitors from all over the country, but it was a “hometown boy” who won the 15th Deltaville 5K Saturday — William Driscoll, 19, a Deltaville resident competing in the male ages 15-19 division. His time was 17 minutes, 11 seconds.
While Driscoll’s time was almost two minutes slower than the 3.1-mile foot race’s top times in recent years, it should be noted that this year’s race was particularly challenging — it was run on a day when the temperature rose near the triple-digit range. That’s something unusual, even for a race run on a typically hot July day.
