Jeff Scuffins (Scuff) was a well-established track and cross-country standout who graduated from North Hagerstown High School in 1980. Â Scuff was a MD state track champion and the owner of still-standing school records for 1,600 (4:18.94) and 3,200 (9:25) meters.
While attending Hagerstown Junior College, now Hagerstown Community College (HJC/HCC), Jeff earned two Junior College National Championship titles while competing in the indoor three-mile (setting a meet record of 13:53.0 with his first title in 1981).

Jeff later competed for Clemson University, where he graduated in 1985 as an All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer in cross country and 10,000 meters on the track. Â He has a well-documented post graduate running career with his most notable performance being his recording setting win at the 1987 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. Â His course-record time of 2:14:01 still stands.
