10/9/99 at Apple Valley Golf Course, Fairmont WV

from Kim Nutter

The Fairmont Times Invitational was the scene of a huge upset on Saturday as Holly Hunter of East Fairmont, widely acclaimed along with Jessica Taylor of Fayetteville as one of the states top 2 female distance runners, was nipped by Hampshire County’s Susan Davis 19:03-19:06. It was Hunter’s first loss of the season and to add insult to injury, the defeat came in front of the hometown fans in Fairmont. Jennifer Davis (Susan’s sister), was a distant 3d in 19:35. Fairmont Senior continued its overland dominance by winning over Grafton 86-101. East Fairmont was a close 3d with 104 points . 

In the boys race, Sophomore Keith Rand from Morgantown High continued his steady running, holding off Dusty Dent of Gilmer County 17:02-17:06. Doddridge County placed three runners in the top 10 but it simply wasn’t good enough as Fairmont Senior continued to show why it was the top rated team in the state with a  75-90 win.
