It's that time of year when I start to call various college coaches to get reports on how our runners from Allegany, Garrett, Mineral, and Hampshire counties (or anywhere else close) did this Fall in cross-country.
This is for an article in the Sports Insert of the Cumberland Times-News. I start to write it soon after the NCAA regionals.
Anyone who wants to submit names/schools/quotes, I always appreciate it. I try but I don't assume I get everyone so if you know of someone who graduated from a local school and is now running College XC just let me know. I have about 10 names so far.
Thanks,
Dave Treber

That I can remember right now:
Lauryn MacFawn - Syracuse (Allegany)
Ralin Pierce - Mt. Aloysius (Allegany)
Will Ruark - Presbityrian (Allegany) - not sure if I spelled that right
Dan Dewitt - Lehigh (Beall)
Scott Bonnette - Wheeling Jesuit (Beall)
Gavin Caupp - Frostburg State (Mountain Ridge)
Jennifer Patton - Frostburg State (Westmar)
Megan Patton - Frostburg State (Westmar)
Ryan Bowser - Marshall (Northern Garrett)
That's all I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there's probably someone from Southern that I totally dont know about. Anyone else got anybody?

goaggies.cameron.edu/xcountry/rosterApparently Mohamed Khelalfa is still running. Telerico said he was in Oklahoma running when I talked to him a while back. I guess this confirms it.

Wow, I had no idea. That's good tho, I'm glad Mohammed didnt just vanish after his previous team dissolved.

Scott Pusateri - McDaniel (Northern)
Donnie Sanner - Bucknell (Meyersdale)
Mike Podlesnik - Hagerstown (Meyersdale)
Joanna Lamp - Glenville State (Frankfort)
Sadie Clifford - Davis & Elkins (Keyser)
Tony Shillingberg - West Liberty (Keyser)
Lindsay Broadwater - West Liberty (Keyser)
Kurtis Wildman - Glenville State (Keyser)
That is the most I can figure - I probably missed one or two, though!

I'm pretty sure no Southern alums are running collegiate XC right now. Don't quote me on that though.

I went to the website for all the schools in the WVIAC and that is what I found. I don't have that good of a memory! But maybe I should start keeping a spreadsheet.

I turned this article in to the Times-News yesterday and had 20 names total. I had Maggie on there. Her parents are at all the Frankfort meets plus our Admissions VP used to be at Bethany so I have been able to keep in contact to see how she is doing. Maggie is doing very well there, as are many of our runners.
Here is who I included:
Dan Dewitt, Lehigh (Beall)
Lauryn MacFawn, Syracuse (Allegany)
Ryan Bowser, Marshall (Northern)
Mohammed Khelalfa, Cameron (Fort Hill)
Jen Patton, Frostburg State (Westmar)
Megan Patton, Frostburg State (Westmar)
Gavin Caupp, Frostburg State (Mountain Ridge)
Scott Bonnette, Wheeling Jesuit (Beall)
Matt DeRosa, Rochester Institute of Technology (Beall)
Ralin Pierce, Mount Aloysius (Allegany)
Will Ruark, Presbyterian (Allegany)
Scott Pusateri, McDaniel (Northern)
Donnie Sanner, Bucknell (Meyersdale)
Sadie Clifford, Davis & Elkins (Keyser)
Tony Shillingburg, West Liberty State (Keyser)
Lindsay Broadwater, West Liberty State (Keyser)
Maggie McCort, Bethany (Frankfort)
Mike Podlesnik, Hagerstown CC (Meyersdale)
Joanna Lamp, Glenville State (Frankfort)
Kurtis Wildman, Glenville State (Keyser)
Quite a list! Thank you to all who helped compile it.
I actually just tend to add to it on the December Sports Insert, such as for the coaches who return calls after I turn it in. I got a chance to talk to most of them.
This issue is going to be out on November 29.

Mohammed Khelalfa is doing well at Cameron. That's NCAA Division II, in Lawton, Oklahoma, and everything I have read I say, sounds like Frostburg -- state normal school background, 5000 or so students...
He finished 22nd in the regional there, tops for the team.
I love talking with the coach there. My impression is that Mohammed handled the Virginia Union situation very well. That's been a couple of years ago now, but that was an NAIA powerhouse in XC -- the NAIA champions for several years -- and the school had to go through a lot of budget cuts and the XC program was among them. I have never asked but I would guess the Virginia Union coach started calling around to other coaches he knew and said I got some runners I want you to consider.
One of the coaches I never got was Presbyterian, and Will Ruark. I'll try to follow up. They are the "Blue Hose."
