Bohlke, maintaining his form since the last time he ran the race in 2002 (his time then was 16:36) would hold off the challenge of the high school runners including Seymour Walter who gave him a good race in the Olympic Day Run 2 miler in June (Bohlke edged him out at the finish line by just a few seconds) to win the race with a time of 16:22 and just seven seconds off the time predicted by four-time Olympian and Vice-President of the V.I.Olympic Committee, Marlon Williams, on hand to support the event.
