Sulphur Bluff's Everett Wilder
Captures Crown in 5K Milk Run, Saturday
by: Bobby McDonald
Everett Wilder shouts with joy as he crosses the finish line and wins Saturday's
5K Milk Run.
"Sulphur Bluff got 'put on the map' early in this year's Hopkins County Dairy Festival," exclaimed one of their community residents, who attended Saturday morning's 5K Milk Run.
He was speaking of Sulphur Bluff's Everett Wilder, who captured the winning run in this year's 2010 event. Wilder beat all other contestants in Saturday morning's heat in Coleman Park, as he lead the pack of cross-country runners who proved that drinking milk builds strong bodies.
Ray Brown was the second place finisher.
Ross Hicks placed third in Saturday's race.
"I'm not feeling real strong, right now!" expressed Wilder, once he had finished the race and had sweat pouring from his body, in Saturday's hot and muggy temperatures. "But, give me a little bit of time and something to drink and I think I'll feel much better!"
Madison Ramirez was the Female winner in Saturday's 5K Milk Run.

Mack Walters of Reilly Springs goes for some refreshment, after winning
second in his age group, at Saturday's 5K Milk Run. He probably got all of his
strength and stamina from his son's ice cream recipe, as son Luke won his
division in Saturday afternoon's Ice Cream Freeze-Off!!!
