31 Montgomery County Indoor Track & Field Championship Meet Record 31st Montgomery County Indoor Track & Field Championship Meet Record Book Presented by mocorunning.com 2018 ©Mocorunning.com 1 Dear Reader, Thank you for purchasing this indoor track & field record book. I have long admired the detailed state meet programs and state record books published by the MPSSAA. I desired similar record books for the Montgomery County Championship Meets, but no such books existed. Furthermore, detailed meet results were all but lost to newspaper archives. To me, this was not acceptable in the digital world in which we live today. Beginning in 2015, I sought out results for every county championship meet for cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. This involved many hours at a microfilm machine and digging through old boxes of papers belonging to coaches who hang on to such things. Many more hours were spent organizing the collected data so that the results are now available online and sorted several ways in this record book. After sifting through the data found in these pages, I know that you will agree that the effort was well worth it. Mocorunning.com has been a source of track & field news, results, statistics, analysis, and photographs for Montgomery County since 2006. Mocorunning.com is not affiliated with MCPS, but it is owned and operated by a proud product of Gaithersburg High School. Your purchase of this book contributes to the cause that Mocorunning.com has strived to serve for more than ten years. I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed creating it. -Kevin Milsted www.mocorunning.com Performance Conversion Methodology: All track performances in English units are converted to metric equivalents using the standardized conversion table published by USTFCCCA. All hand-timed performances are given a penalty of +0.24 seconds after conversions. (NFHS Method) No adjustments are made to performances based on venue or track surface. The reader should understand that most indoor track surfaces were poor prior to the construction of the PG Sports and Learning Center which opened in 2001. Older performances should be admired for the athletes’ execution with tighter turns, slippery surfaces, and usually no spiked shoes allowed. In team records section, ties are broken by performance date. Oldest performance is favored. y-symbol indicates original performance was in English units - yards or miles. ht-symbol indicates original performance was hand-timed. A hand-timing penalty of 0.24 seconds is added in equivalent result. This Record Book Layout: This book is arranged so that if it is printed in booklet format, the all-time top 25 lists and all-time county champion lists are displayed on adjacent pages. This is especially useful when following along during the meet. All of the information that you need to know about the event on the track is shown on two adjacent pages.

Sure, there was an indoor track state championship meet, but another county championship meet like the one contested in the spring seemed like overkill to some coaches. In 1986, coaches voted mid-season to modify an untimed all-comers meet and turn it into a championship style meet. That meet would serve as a dry run for the state-qualifying regional meets – an opportunity to practice multiple hard efforts on a condensed time schedule. They called that meet the first Montgomery County Indoor Track & Field Championship Meet. Like the outdoor track county championship meet which was established in 1980, the indoor championship meet quickly turned into an annual tradition. Unlike the outdoor county meet, the indoor county meet has been scored every year so county champions have been crowned in all 30 meets to date.

Einstein HS won its second consecutive boys team title. Kim Many of Kennedy High School (5:20/11:43 1-mile/2-mile) and Chrissie Buser of Seneca Valley High School (34-00.25 shot put) were the individual stars of the day. Whitman High School scored in almost every event, including the 880-yard (Margaret Leeds, 1st), and mile and 2-mile (Virginia Mattingly, 2nd). Leeds and Mattingly contributed on the winning mile and two-mile relays. Walter Johnson kept the boys meet close, but Einstein pulled away with its well-rounded team of sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers. Ivan Charles won the 60-yard hurdles in 7.5, which converts to a 7.70 FAT- equivalent 55-meter hurdles performance and still ranks among top ten in meet history thirty years later. Timmy Edwards of Einstein jumped 6-02 to win the high jump, which is still a top-25 mark in meet history. Terrence Taylor of Einstein recorded a 2:04.5 880-yard run, which ranked as the third fastest 800-meter-equivalent performance in meet history prior to the year 2000.

Gaithersburg scored 99, RM scored 78, and no other team scored more than 40. Matt McGuire of RM clocked 7.2h in the 55-meter hurdles which is still the meet record to this day. Davy Rogers of RM won the 800 in 2:03.9 and the 1600m in 4:33.7. Van Free of Gaithersburg clocked 6.3h in the 55- meter dash, and Gaithersburg won the 800-meter relay. One of the most outstanding contests in meet history took place in the boys high jump. Gaithersburg’s Jeremy Smith and RM’s Tuan Wreh each jumped 6-07 in the high jump, which still ties for the meet record to this day. Gaithersburg took places 1, 3, and 5 in the high jump, places 1, 3, and 4 in the shot put, and places 1 and 2 in the pole vault which separated the two teams. The WJ girls clocked 9:51.9 which was a meet record that stood until 2004 and still ranks among the top- 25 performances in meet history. Janelle Ralph of Springbrook High School ran away with the 55m in 7.0h and the 300m in 40.9h. Both performances still rank among the top-25 performances in meet history. Richard Montgomery won the girls team title. The Rockets put three girls in the top four in the 500-meter run, and just missed breaking the meet record in the 4x400-meter relay (4:16.2). Emily Owens of RMHS recorded the #2 high jump performance in meet history (5-06) which still ranks as the #4 high jump performance in meet history.

Georgetown Prep School hosted the 2008 meet in its new Hanley Center indoor facility. Richard Montgomery won its third consecutive boys county title by holding off a talented and motivated Quince Orchard squad. Wootton edged out the Churchill girls by a mere two points to prevent Churchill from winning its third consecutivet indoor county title. Seven boys meet records were broken that day, but one performance stood out among them. Wil Zahorodny of Damascus High School clocked 1:05.09 in the 500-meter, which was a full second faster than his own PR at the time and was nearly a full second faster than the meet record. Zahorodny's 500m performance was the only record broken that day that still stands ten years later.

GHINGHER, III** The steadily increasing need for public roads, public buildings, public utilities, and particularly for urban redevelopment has made commonplace the condemnation of private property for those purposes and has drawn increased attention to the plight of the condemnee. In addition to the "fair market value" of his property, he now receives moving expenses, an allowance for machinery and equipment which he must abandon, assistance in relocating his business or resi- dence, and rent concessions pending relocation; but these fringe benefits are primarily underwritten by federal aid." In Maryland, as in most other states, the legal process whereby private property is taken for public use still contains many imperfections, most of which operate to the detriment of the condemnee.

Introduction y 2010, the internet had become an indispensable part of virtually every aspect of our lives. We read newspapers, books, and magazines online instead of on paper, we shopped online B instead of visiting the mall, and we streamed movies directly from the internet rather than renting them from a video store. Also by this time, a large part of our daily interactions with other human beings occurred over the internet, through email, and social media. Yet in 2010, there was no legal internet-based, real money gaming – or iGaming – in the United States. A number of companies, largely located offshore, offered online poker and other games, but did so in a legal gray area. In 2011, the federal government announced that interstate online gaming was conducted illegally and shut down the largest internet poker websites in the U.S. Soon after, states recognized their potential to profit from the iGaming vacuum and passed laws legalizing online intrastate iGaming.

    Discover Maryland Information about the 7th State April 28, 1788 Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., Governor Michael S. Steele, Lt. Governor Introduction Welcome to the State of Maryland. Maryland, it is a small and diverse state made up of different geographical regions, is important to the history of the United States and is home to many famous people. We hope that you find this packet informative and that you visit this great State soon. Early Inhabitants The Chesapeake Bay was formed about 15,000 years ago by glaciers in the Susquehanna Valley. Chesapeake means “great salt water”. The Susquehannocks were the main Native American group to live in the area.. Maryland’s Name European ships explored the region beginning in the late 1500s. In 1631, William Claiborne established a trading post on Kent Island. Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, received a grant in 1632 from King Charles I of England for all the land that is now Maryland. Maryland was named after Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669), wife of Charles I and daughter of Henry IV of France. In 1634, the two ships The Ark and The Dove arrived at St. Clement’s Island and founded the first permanent settlement in Maryland at St. Mary’s City.
