Maranie Staab was a soccer player. Now she's a runner. While most make the transition successfully, virtually no one makes it as well as Staab, a Penn-Trafford junior. Allowed to run 10 in the varsity race at the Tri-State Coaches Association race on 10/21, she went out and surprised herself and everyone else. She won... running 19:04 on the very difficult Slippery Rock course. Well, she ran enough races to be eligible for the upcoming District 7 (WPIAL) champs on 10/28, but teams are only permitted to run seven. That means she would be displacing one other who trained with the team all season. What to do? The background story and the latest from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
