Ray Sharp and Jolene Moore were the overall men's and women's champions respectively Saturday at the 2005 USA 5 km Race Walk Championships in Kingsport, Tenn.

The 45-year-old Sharp finished the course in 22 minutes, 34 seconds in winning the open division and 45-49 masters age-group titles. It marked the fourth time that he's won this event. "I won it in 1980, '81 and '88," Sharp told the Kingsport Times-News. "This is my first time back since so I'm glad I was able to win it again."

The men's runner-up was Mathew De Whitt (25), who finished the course in 23 minutes, 22 seconds.

Moore, 39, dominated the women's field, finishing in 24:00 - just two seconds off Bobbi Chapman's course record, set last year. "I'm just beginning my season so I basically just wanted to win," Moore said. "This was a great way to start."

Lynn Tracy, 53, was the women's runner-up in 27 minutes, 21 seconds.
