Oxon Hill's Aaron Robinson owns a unique distinction of having won three times as many individual state titles (3) as individual regional titles (1) - he didn't win a regional title until his senior spring season. Robinson also just edged Clipper teammate Gary Ross into the field of 64; the two combined to help Oxon Hill set a new 3A outdoor state meet record in the 4x800 in 2018. (Photo by Craig Amoss)
