COLUMBIA, MD - October 22, 2008 -
DigitalSports.com and the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) are proud to jointly announce a new partnership centered on the MPSSAA state championship events for Cross Country, Indoor Track and Track & Field.
The partnership includes expanded editorial and video coverage of these three events by DigitalSports, and more specifically by DigitalSports’ popular
RunningMaryland.com web site, which is exclusively devoted to coverage of running and track events, primarily on the high school level.
DigitalSports will also support the MPSSAA by providing photographs for state championship programs and serving as a communication channel for MPSSAA press releases and news.
“We are extremely proud to have an official association with the MPSSAA,” said Gary Adornato, Director of Maryland Operations for DigitalSports. “Our organization is devoted to shining a spotlight on all the positive aspects of high school sports and it has been our distinct pleasure to work with all of the great athletic directors, coaches and student-athletes participating in MPSSAA programs over the last 18 months. An official partnership with the MPSSAA was the natural next step and we look forward to building this relationship over time.”
MPSSAA Executive Director Ned Sparks said, “This partnership provides the opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of a great many student-athletes throughout our state. In addition, it will shed light on the positive overall benefits of education based athletics. We look forward to those potential outcomes.”
The partnership agreement is for two years and will be in place through August 31, 2010.
