Collin Moore — an Ocala high school junior heading into his senior year this August — splits his time between running, school, a family epoxy flooring business, his girlfriend, and a fishing rod somewhere on Florida's east coast. On May 31, 2026, he added one more thing to the list: a 2:43:46 marathon debut at the Carmel Marathon in Indiana that broke the age-group course record and earned him a Boston Marathon qualifier at 17.

Luke Lombardo — the West Port senior heading to Furman University in the fall on an academic scholarship — crossed the Mother's Day 5K finish line first in 15:46. Christopher Taylor took second in 17:11 to extend his lead in the Run Ocala Race Series, and Gosia Hightower of Belleview was top female overall in 21:47.
