For the men, 19-year-old Adam Coon crossed the finish line first. A Boone County native and Concord College student, Coon said he got out early and never looked back.
"It was all done from the beginning," he said.
The winter weather didn't stop him from crossing the finish line in 16:20, but the cold was a factor. "It hurt my chest a little bit," he said. Matthew Brite came in second (16:53). Jose Schultz took third place (24:04). Cold temperatures couldn't stop some hit runners nor could it take the icy shine off a great race.
