Smithsburg's Will Merritt has proven to be one of the best distance runners in the state, regardless of classification. His indoor personal best in the 1600 is faster than the meet record, but he also ran the 4x800/1600/3200 at last year's state meet, possibly sacrificing an opportunity to break the meet record in the 1600. However, barring an injury he has possibly the best chance out of anyone to set a new state record if he chooses to go for it.
