Rylee Hurley, 14, finishes first in the women's division of the Butler Road Race 2K event Saturday morning. Hurley, an Oakland Township resident, entered the race with one goal: beating her father, Corey Hurley, who won the men's 2K 40-49 division.

Rylee Hurley concerned herself with finishing ahead of just one person in Saturday's 2K portion of the Butler Road Race.

She ended up besting a lot more.

The 14-year-old resident of Oakland Township was the top female in the event, thanks to a time of eight minutes, 33.19 seconds.

“I was just trying to beat my dad,” said Hurley, whose father, Corey Hurley, placed first in the men's 40-49 age division. He could not be reached for comment.

Rylee was in second place with about 50 meters remaining, but her strong finish overtook Mandy James, who finished less than a second behind.

“I saw her in front of me and wanted to catch her,” said Rylee, a student at Butler Intermediate High School who runs on the cross country and track teams. “This course is harder than it looks.”

Sophia Emmorey was third at 9:21.59.

Rylee Hurley said she stays fit by getting in runs on the roads near her home. She hopes to compete in a few 5K events this summer.

At the urging of a friend, Amos Ramsey, 19, decided to compete in the Men's 2K.“I've competed in 5Ks, 10Ks and half-marathons,” said Ramsey, a resident of New Galilee in Beaver County. “I'd never done a 2K, but my friend, Ben Dymond, said, 'Let's do one.'”Ramsey certainly didn't regret his decision to take part. He won the race with an effort of 6:13.14.Alex Depew was second at 7:22.74 and Aaron Stebick's 7:33.35 placed him third.Ramsey's time was not far off from Tim Flynn's record in the event, 6:04.5 set in 2018.“I really had no clue what kind of runners would be here,” Ramsey said. “I wanted to go sub-6 (minutes).“I run on a lot of back roads and trails. Winning here was fun, but slightly unexpected.”
