MARYLAND, Oct. 8 – TriStateRunnur.com’s approach to covering races had to be modified last weekend when nearly a dozen students from at least two Maryland high schools participated in non-sanctioned races while wearing school running uniforms – singlets and shorts.This website’s coverage always includes photographs – it’s at the center of what the site operator Darrell Cavey, myself and a handful of valuable volunteers provide to visitors at TriStateRunnur.com.

Jones, Hall take Vibrant Life 5K titles
Both in high school, one competes for team, one can not

HAGERSTOWN, Oct. 4 -- South Hagerstown High School senior Sam Jones and Moorefield High School junior Blayke Hall took the men's and women's titles on Sunday at the Vibrant Life 5K cross country run in Hagerstown.
The difference is that just one of them - Jones - competes for his school's Rebel cross country team. Hall can't, only because the Yellow Jackets harriers team was eliminated this school year by the school, its boosters club and the Hardy Couty school district.
None of that mattered on Sunday morning, however, as Hall traversed the expansive campus of the Review & Herald Public Association in south Hagerstown in 23 minutes and 6 seconds for the women's title. The three-hour car trip from Moorefield, W.Va., proved to be a little less convenient that originally considered.
