Smithsburg's Will Merritt made his case for top runner in Maryland last weekend when he was the only boy to crack 16 minutes at the state championships. He also became just the second repeat state champion since 2011, joining fellow 1A winner Ty Franks who won three straight seasons (2012-14). (Photo by John Roemer)
River Hill's Rahul Reddy was the only of the top four seniors at the state meet to not win a title. Nevertheless he turned in a solid second-place effort - just a few steps behind Poolesville's Ryan Lockett - and led the River Hill boys to their third straight team title. (Photo by Eric Green)
