Wilson gets record, title

WILLIAMSPORT — Smithsburg senior David Wilson has a “half” decent history at the Washington County Cross Country Championships, to say the least.
“Freshman year, I got eighth. Sophomore year, I got fourth. Junior year, I got second. Senior year, I got first,” Wilson said. “Just divide it by two each time. It’s sort of funny.”
Wilson didn’t just win the 32nd annual running of the county meet Thursday on Williamsport’s 3-mile course. He dominated, taking the title by more than a minute in a course-record time of 15:34. The previous mark of 15:50 was set by 2009 Williamsport graduate Michael Lilley last year.
North Hagerstown senior Alison Harrell won the girls race in 20:26, and the North girls and Williamsport boys both repeated as county team champions.
Wilson, who set course records at Clear Spring and Smithsburg earlier this season, is undefeated this fall with only two races left — the Maryland 1A West championships on Nov. 5 back at Williamsport, and the state meet Nov. 14 at Hereford.
He should be more than ready.
“I just broke 1,000 miles since June 1 last Friday, so that’s pretty cool,” Wilson said. “Now I’m finally backing off the mileage and tapering.”
“I haven’t really been hyped up at any of the races yet this year,” he added. “I guess I’m saving it for states.”
Boonsboro junior Evan Moser was the boys runner-up Thursday in 16:36.Read More
