Boys Athlete of the Week: Hale Bullen, Annapolis, cross country Nov 13, 2012

The only Baltimore-area runner to win a state public schools cross country championship this fall, the senior took the Class 3A title with the second-fastest time on the Hereford course Saturday. Running fourth with about 800 meters to go, Bullen nipped Howard's Danny Rau by seven-tenths of a second to finish in 16 minutes, 19.5 seconds. He also won the Anne Arundel County and Class 3A East region titles. A four-year cross country veteran and an All-Metro second-team pick last fall, Bullen hails from a long line of lacrosse players, but he switched to track last spring and was an All-Metro first team choice after winning county titles in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters and finishing second in the state in both events. He has a 4.83 weighted GPA and hopes to run for Navy next fall. (via baltimoresun.com)

PARKTON — They treated it more like an opponent than a partner. On several occasions, they made round trips of almost three hours from their home just to do preparatory work, looking for weaknesses and ways to capitalize. The relentlessly hilly 3.1-mile cross country course at Hereford High School, home to the state cross county meet, has not been especially kind over the years to David and Kevin Dorsey of Catoctin.
