HAGERSTOWN, Md.—Twelve high school teams from Frederick, Carroll and Washington Counties competed in the Monocacy Valley Athletic League-Antietam Conference Championship Friday, Jan. 6, 2012.
With unseasonably mild winter temperatures in the mid- to upper-50s, it was a great evening for the competition. These warm temperatures seemed to bring warm feelings to high school athletes who were competing for new league records.
The first event on the track, the 4x800 m relay, gave the first opportunity for boys and girls teams to claim new league records.
Boonsboro’s Lady Warriors defeated Catoctin in the 4x800 m relay to post a new Antietam league record of 10:28.29, previously set by Catoctin (10:38.94) last year.
“We all ran the times we had to do,” Boonsboro’s Kortney Cunningham said. “Some of us did more than we needed to do (during the race).”
The Catoctin boys’ team broke the 4x800 m relay record with a time of 8:36.05, which was previously set last year by the Williamsport Wildcats (8:37.21).
Winters Mill’s Hannah Oneda won the girls’ 1600 m run with a time of 5:10.90. Oneda smashed the eight-year old 1600 m record, which was previously set by Clear Spring’s Ashley Lockhard (5:26.50) in 2004. Oneda was 13 seconds ahead of Catoctin’s Savannah Steinly. Steinly took second with a time of 5:23.35.
“I did the best that I could,” Steinly said, “I made a personal record and I was happy. I only ran (the 1600) two other times (before).”
Oneda also won the girls’ 3200 m run with a time of 11:08.15. Oneda broke South Carroll’s Rachel Sykes’ time (11:45.96) from 2009. Boonsboro’s Sarah Zielinski took second place (11:43.97) in the 3200. Read More

HAGERSTOWN, Md.—For the first time in Frederick County indoor track and field, Catoctin’s girls team won the county title at the 33rd Jack Griffin Frederick County Indoor Track and Field Championships.
The last time Catoctin’s girls’ track and field program won the Frederick County championship was during the 1976 outdoor track and field season.
The Lady Cougars did not just set a new height for their program. They jumped over it.
Senior stand-out Hannah Stone eliminated a 14-year girls’ high jump County record, set by former Lady Cougar athlete and Stone’s current Catoctin assistant coach Kathy (Messner) Stevens.
“It was the first record (I had) broken, “Stone said, “I was very excited.” Stone had to quickly shift gears after clearing 5 feet, 8 ¼ inches in the girls’ high jump competition to run in the girls’ 55 m hurdles on the track.
“I didn’t have time to change my shoes between the high jump and the 55 m hurdles,” Stone said.
Stone also later competed in the girls’ 500 m dash and took first place (1:22.50).
“Hannah is truly an impressive athlete,” Catoctin head coach Terri Gibbons said, “When I started coaching (at Catoctin), if you handed me a meet schedule, I would have never put an athlete in the four events [Stone] did today! She is the first athlete I have ever worked with that is strong enough to handle it.” Read More
Grandt finishes 7th in trials, high hopes for 2016

HOUSTON, Texas — Away from the competition Mizuno runner Clara Grandt has managed to create her own path.
In Houston during the Olympic Trials Marathon, she knew she would be forced to do more of the same. After the leaders, who started off at approximately 6:13 mile pace according to Grandt, decided to drop the hammer and separate themselves from the field, she did what she has always known best: run her own race.
And it worked out. Grandt finished seventh with a 2:30:46 effort, right where the rankings had her listed and right on the heels of 2004 Olympic Games marathon bronze medalist Deena Kastor. Kastor finished in 2:30:40.
Finishing behind women of her caliber is an honor for Grandt, who still feels like she is in the shadows of the nation's elite.
"People notice you and they expect something from you, but the pressure really isn't on you," she said. "It's just something exciting to know that there is this possibility for doing really well at a young age and against such a good field. This is incredible just to get a taste of that, that kind of competition at the top level."
Even if she was running in their shadows, she never let that faze her. Knowing there was a possibility that the lead pack would start off slower than usual, she managed to regroup and rearrange her race strategy once she lost contact. Their pace was dropping substantially each mile. From clocking over a 6 minute mile, the leaders tested the field by eventually dipping down into the 5:20s.
In spite of being the youngest woman in the top 10, Grandt ran with the poise and knowledge of an experienced marathoner.
After falling off the pace, she was as far back as tenth before slowly working her way back up to seventh. Read More

New Red Bud Distance Run for runners and walkers alike
Review Staff
YELLOW SPRING — Early registration for the inaugural Red Bud Distance Run, a point-to-point run and walk from Capon Bridge to Yellow Spring in April , ends Jan. 31. Prices go up beginning Feb. 1.
Runners and walkers alike have three hours to complete the 10-mile event, which is being staged for multiple reasons. There also is a 5K (3.1-mile) run and walk that begins and ends in Yellow Spring that same morning. The pre-race dinner is set for the evening of April 28. The 10-mile event begins promptly at 8 a.m. the next morning.
One of the goals of organizers Pam Brady, Margaret Broderick and Tracy Carl is to raise funds for two selected charities — the Romney office of Catholic Charities of West Virginia and the Hampshire County Committee on Aging’s senior nutrition program. The event is being coordinated through the Potomac Highlands Distance Club.
The 10-mile course begins in Capon Bridge and winds along Cacapon River Road towards the finish line at the Capon Valley Ruritan Club in Yellow Spring.
“On your left, nearly the entire time, is the scenic and peaceful Cacapon River, which is a designated American Heritage river, ” said race director Kevin Spradlin. “I’ve run this course three times already and, if you pay enough attention to the river, the miles seem to go by without even realizing it.
