โข ๐ Two Maryland State Championships in 1984 and 1986.
โข ๐ฅ State Runner-Up finishes in 1982 and 1988.

His success continued at the collegiate level, where he also led the Frederick Community College Cougars to national prominence. He was an inductee into both the Alvin G. Quinn Sports Hall of Fame and the Frederick Community College Hall of Fame.
