CUMBERLAND, Oct. 3 – Grantsville resident Tom Ruckert and Cumberland’s Rob Smith have an annual back-and-forth during the Queen City Striders racing circuit standings.
Ruckert, 57, and Smith, 44, rib each other good-naturedly as they vie for the top spot in the season-ending standings. Going into the 28th annual Great Allegany Run 15K (9.3-mile) run on Saturday, Ruckert held a four-point lead with three races left.
Less than 57 minutes after the 8 a.m. start, however, it was Smith’s turn to rub it in.
Wearing a bright yellow race shirt – easily visible in the crowd – Smith looked at Ruckert after the awards ceremony on the downtown mall in Cumberland, touched his right shoulder with his left arm and made a sizzling sound.
Yes, Smith’s on a hot streak right now. But the day – and the year’s standings – might belong to Ruckert after all, despite the temporary setback. With six of eight series races in the books, Ruckert remained two points ahead of Smith. The mile and 5K runs still to be contested “are my favorite,” Ruckert said. Read More
