FRANKLIN, TN -- After smoking for 15 years and being a classic "couch potato," 38-year-old Amy Barrow stopped smoking and started running six years ago. Barrow was impressive in her win at the 18th annual Franklin 10K Classic through historic downtown Franklin and the surrounding area on Sept. 2. Barrow clocked a 38:21 to capture the overall women's title on the tough, hilly course.

Timothy Bergen of Chattanooga was the overall winner in 33:40. Jeff Lingwall ran with Bergen for the first five miles before he started struggling and dropped back to finish second in 34:03.

Prior to the 10K, Danny Stubblefield and Vicki Crisp took the overall wins in the 5K. Stubblefield finished in 16:21, while Crisp won with 18:40.
