Good race for another local guy. Are there any results for any other local runners out there? We tend to concentrate on Dan here, but I know there are a lot more out there. How about Bowser? How's he doing?

Thanks Jaron. I've been keeping up with Lauren. It really looks like she's moved her running oonto another level real fast. A lot of people will take a year to respond and struggle in the freshmen year, but it seems like she has stepped right in. That's some valuable experience for a young runner to get to go to Pre-Nats.
That's a good time for Ryan. I forgot which school he went to.

There are 2 other Allegany alumni running college cross country. Neither are blazing fast, but they are doing it. Will Ruark was not a cross runner at Allegany, but he was a spriner on the track team. He decided to try his hand at CC at Presbyterian College and recently ran 31:31 for his PR at 8k. With no distance running background priod to the start of this season, I'm actually kind of impressed with that.
Ralin Pierce did run cross country at Allegany and was the co-Katie DeRosa Scholarship recipient. She is running at Mt. Aloysius College and recently ran 24:47 for 5k. Mt Aloysius runs in the AMCC so she will be facing Frostburg on the 25th.

I didn't know Ruark was running - I'll let Junior Striders take the credit for that one.
I don't know why Ralin slipped my mind - she was in the other weekend and was telling Jackie how she has been doing. She told Jackie that she recently did a half-marathon. I don't know where or when, but she is progressing solidly.

Thanks Tommy for those updates. I really think this is one of the greatest parts about our sport. The nature of the sport encourages participation even by not the fastest individuals out there. Our area has a very high number of high school runners who go on to compete at the next level, I'd guess much higher than any other sport. I'm sure the nature of the sport is a reason, but also the kind of people that do our sport are not the kind of people to accept sitting on the sidelines.
