Hampshire, Cougars ready to contend
By Kevin Spradlin
Tristaterunnur.com

WHEELING, W.Va. - If this past weekend was any indication, Cory Hampshire is ready to ace his final exam in this, his senior year of cross country at Jefferson High School in Shenandoah Junction.

He passed a pop quiz on Saturday at the 11th annual Debbie Green Memorial 5K in Wheeling. Hampshire set a personal best 5K (3.1-mile) road course time of 15 minutes, 59 seconds. It was the first time the quiet, unassuming - but confident - red-headed ‘A’ student ran under the 16-minute barrier.
“I wanted to run a 5K to see what kind of shape I’m in,” Hampshire said shortly after crossing the finish line in 15th place, well ahead of the average runner in the 409-runner field.

Hampshire bettered his road PR of 16:04, set one month earlier at the Liberty 5K in Winchester, Va. Jefferson Coach Scott Biola said this week he believes Hampshire’s PR is a sign of things - good things - to come for him and his teammates.

Shady girls hold top spot in preseason rankings

By Randall Jett
Register-Herald Sports Writer

Shady Spring coach John Lucento doesn’t have much use for preseason rankings. There’s not a lot to base them on, except the performance in the preceding year.

“I don’t pay a lot of attention to rankings,” he said. “They have their place and they have their meaning, but I guess it’s the results of the meets that count.

“We’re going to go ahead and work as hard as we can to do the best that we can. Then, let the rankings fall where they may.”
Shady’s girls cross country squad has been tabbed as the early favorite to win a state title in Class AA-A. The Tigers are ranked No. 1 on the strength of six returning runners from last year’s team, which placed second overall at the state meet.

Knights tale begins each year at camp
Middletown expected to contend in '08

By Kevin Spradlin
Tristaterunnur.com

ROCKY GAP – Middletown junior David Lieb is exactly the type of runner Knights co-coaches Don and Sharon Boyer are striving to recruit.

Lieb, 16, finished last year’s fall campaign 25th among nearly 50 runners. He hopes to run his first sub-19-minute 5K race this year and crack the top 14.

He knows he’s set “fairly high expectations” for himself this year, and “if I don’t (meet them), so be it,” Lieb said. “I’ll do the best I can.”

And that’s precisely what the Boyers, veterans of Middletown running for more than 40 years, looking for in a runner. Regardless of talent or potential, all the Boyers seek is commitment.Read More

On Saturday in the Cougars’ first meet of the fall season, the 17-year-old did it on the cross country course, obliterating his own 2006 course record by 28 seconds. Hampshire, of Kearneysville, finished in 15 minutes, 59 seconds – the same time he posted at the Debbie Green Memorial 5K three weeks ago – and crossed the line 10 seconds ahead of runner-up Leonard Roach of Berkeley Springs

It’s a great start to what figures to be a banner year for the "No. 1 Jefferson runner".Still, the Cougars finished second in the team standings behind Gonzaga (D.C.), which won with 33 points. Berkeley Springs was third, followed by Hampshire, Musselman, rookie Washington and Martinsburg.

Billy Ledder began Gonzaga’s run to victory by placing third overall in the 51-runner field with a time of 16:29. Mike Kerrigan (17:08) and Billy Lewis (17:20), sixth and seventh respectively, also made the unofficial All-Invite Boys Team.
