Katy's Michael Sullivan, 36, won Houston's 12K of Christmas Saturday morning in downtown Houston in a time of 44:09, beating a pair of Houstonians, 32-year-old Ryan Levine and 39-year-old Brian Trent to the finish line.
Irvine finished in 44:51 while Trent followed in 45:07.
The women were led by 24-year-old Meredith Sorensen from Houston in 47:59 while sisters Cynthia and Kathryn Brake were second and third in 48:57 and 51:13, respectively.
Kathryn held off 31-year-old Elyse Landry by just nine seconds for third.
Sorensen ran collegiately for the University of Houston Cougars and hails originally from Alpena, Michigan.
Dean Digamon, 40, and Becca Weigand, 41, were easily the top masters finishers with advantages of more than a minute each to win in times of 50:27 and 52:53.
360 runners and walkers finished the 12K distance.
In the 6K, which featured another 335 finishers, Pasadena's Jayden Turrubiates, 17, and Summerville, South Carolina's Sarah Harriman, 38, crushed their respective fields with marks of 20:06 and 24:35.

Meanwhile, Harriman is Fleet Feet's assistant manager at their Summerville, South Carolina location. She ran 3:34:38 in October at the Boston Marathon.
