Smithsburg Wins Both Boys and Girls Titles
Leopard Boys Win by One Point on Boonsboro DQ
13 Meet Records Fall

Hagerstown MD, 2/1/97 -- The Washington County Indoor Championships came to a wrenching conclusion when a uniform disqualification in the last race cost Boonsboro the boys trophy by one point, 116-115.

Boonsboro had just come from behind with a 16 point score in the 800 meter race to take a nine point team lead over Smithsburg. With only four teams in the closing 1600 meter relay, Boonsboro only had to avoid a shutout to win the championship. In the running of the relay, Smithsburg won for 10 points and Boonsboro was second for an apparent 8 points, but the red flag went up for Boonsboro. One of its runners had a different color spandex -- a violation of the rules requiring all members of a relay team to have the same uniform. The runner had tried to roll the spandex up out of sight, but it came loose during the race.

The Smithsburg boys thus joined their girls team to win both championships on a day that saw 13 meet records broken.

Any suspense on the girls side ended early as Smithsburg ran up 129 points to defeat Boonsboro 98, South Hagerstown 84, and North Hagerstown 82. North Hagerstown boys' 104 points were only good for third, followed by Clear Spring 48 and South Hagerstown 7.

The record setters were led by North Hagerstown's Stacey Hott, who doubled in record time in the girls 500 (1:25.2) and 800 (2:33.1). Other new meet records:

Boys

55 -- Randy Hoffman (SMI), 6.4.

500 -- Brad Long (BOO), 1:10.7.

1600 -- Doug Oates (BOO), 4:34.3.

300 -- Heather Jenkins (SMI), 42.2.

800 Relay -- Smithsburg, 1:52.1.

In addition, Jessica Bracken of Boonsboro pole vaulted 7-6 to become the first record holder in the new event for girls.

Long of Boonsboro used a great kick to double in the 800 (2:11.9) and give his team the short lived lead; Hoffman doubled in the 300 (38.3), his first try in that event.
