ED GRANT'S WEEKLY REVIEW

		With the individual titles all but conceded in advance to Chelsea Ley of Kingsway and the Rosa twins of 
West Windsor-Plainsboro North, two close team battles will take center stage this Saturday at the 38th annual 
New Jersey all-group championships at Holmdel County Park.

		On a muddy course last weekend at Holmdel, Ley outclassed the rest of the field as she won the Gr. III race 
by 100 yards from Megan Venables in 17:52, much the fastest of the day. Her target this time is to break the 
course record of 17:35.9, set 16 years ago by three-time all-group champion Janet Smith of North Edison.
	
		Joe Rosa has already broken the boys' mark with his 15:04 win over twin James at the Shore Coaches 
Invitational in early October. The two ran a virtual dead heat last weekend in 15:37 as they paced the Knights to 
a repeat victory in Gr. III, finishing 40 yards ahead of defending AG champ Tyler Udland of Millburn.

		Four other group champs went under 16:00, Joe Kotran of Toms River North in IV, Jon Vitez of Haddonfield 
with his third victory in II, David Oster of Verona, repeating in I, and Mike Mazzaccaro of Christian Brothers in 
Parochial B. 

		The Rosas have another goal this week, of course, to lead the Knights to a repeat victory in the team race. 
This will be a lot harder than taking individual honors with Haddonfield, Don Bosco and CBA all having similar ambitions 
and a tighter pack to achieve them.

		Thanks to the Rosas, West Windsor-Plainsboro had the fastest team average last week at 16:28, but that will 
not insure victory this time with the fourth and fifth runners on each team probably deciding the issue. Haddonfield 
had a 1-2-3 finish and the lowest score of the day at 30 points in Gr. II and its fourth man was in 5th place at 16:38, 
but had await of almost a minute to complete its score. Don Bosco went 5-6-7 with Michael Belgiovine, Rafael Vargas 
and Howard Rosas and freshman Brandon Baxter closed it out only 33 seconds later. West Windsor, as usual, had the 
largest spread of all, more than two minutes between first and fifth.

		The real question mark is CBA, which had two earlier wins over Haddonfield and had beaten Don Bosco handily 
at the Easterns a month ago. Mazzaccaro was the only Colt to run to form last weekend and it is possible that there 
will be lineup changes this week, something only the deep CBA squad can do to any advantage. (Their sophomore 
group probably ranks among the top 30 teams in the state.)

		The other group winners---Westfield in IV, Robbinsville in I and St. Rose---are not in the picture this time. The 
Blue Devils, led by soph Jack Leahy, used their tight pack to reverse a sectional loss to Ridge, Robbinsville did its 
part toward a boy-girl sweep as it repeated its sectional win over Metuchen and Colin Richmond led St. Rose to a 38-67 
win over neighbor Mater Dei in Parochal B.

		The girls' team race is a three-team affair among the 1-2 finishers in Gr. IV, Randolph and Hillsboro, and Parochial 
A champ Holy Angels. The Gr. IV finish was so close, 69-73, that it could easily be reversed this weekend. The heroine 
for Randolph was soph Jennifer Zackowski, who finished 18th in 19:53, backing up the veteran trio of Joelle Amaral, Molly 
Higgins and Natalie Anthony. Ashley Smolinka led Hillsboro as usual, placing second to Kellner in 18:59.

		Holy Angels had its usual tight pack to make up for a 1-2 finish by Michelle Capozzi and Molly McNamara of Red 
Bank Catholic. The Angels' average was about 10 seconds behind the Gr. IV teams, but they ran at the end of the day 
when the course was at its worst. 

		Two-time AG defender Voorhees, won again in Gr. III, but is still showing the effects of a flu epidemic which has 
swept through a number of West Jersey schools. Delsea repeated its sectional win over Haddonfield in II, led by Felicia 
O'Donnell and Ashley Deckert, Mt. Lakes spoiled Robbinsville's double bid in I, 50-58, and Villa Walsh took its first 
Parochial B title in a race that had only nine team finish, as opposed to 19 in Parochial A (the boys' divisions were equally 
unbalanced, 26-13). 

		Two sophomores claimed  individual honors, Brianna Feerst of Pt. Pleasant Beach in I at 19:47, and the season-s 
biggest winner, Kristen Traub of Eastern Christian in PB at 19:43.  
		




		A late-season nor'easter, boiling up the East Coast as these words are written, may have a lot to say about 
what happens at this weekend's New Jersey group track and field championships at Holmdel County Park.

		It could, at worst, even cause a postponement of the meet; it will  at least delay for one week any chance of 
Joe Rosa of West Windsor-Plainsboro North becoming the first boy to run the difficult 5K course under 15:00, a 
prospect that seemed well within reach when he set his course record of 15:04 at the Shore Coaches Invitational in 
early October. And it could also have a major effect on several of the team battles, particularly the closely-matched 
Gr. IV boys' affair.

		In the four sectional races last weekend, the widest margin of victory was the four points by which Randolph 
defeated Ridgewood in North Jersey 1 at Garret Mountain. Ridge edged Westfield, 65-67, in NJ 2 at Warinanco Park, 
East Brunswick upset Old Bridge, 104-106, in Central Jersey at Thompson Park and just five points separated the first 
four teams in the South Jersey race at Delsea, where Shawnee nosed out Southern Ocean, 84-85. 

		A comparison of team averages gives the edge to the NJ 2 teams with Westfield's more compact lineup perhaps 
having the best chance to emerge the winner over Ridge and Bridgewater Raritan, which was only four points behind the 
Blue Devils. This was the third time Ridge had finished ahead of Bridgewater in the past three weeks and this was their 
closest finish yet.

		In the other boys' team races, West Windsor-Plainsboro North and Haddonfield should have little trouble retaining 
their titles in Gr. III and II, respectively, and Christian Brothers, the state's No. 1 team at this point, seems ready to 
reclaim the Parochial A title from Don Bosco. In a reversal of past years, the Colts took last weekend off, while the 
Ironmen ran away with the New Jersey Catholic Track Conference race at Warinanco Park. 

		Robbinsville, which seeks a double in Gr. I this year, won the Central Jersey race rather easily from Metuchen 
with a 1-3 finish from Brian O'Toole and Nick Lachman, who was running his first major race of the season. Their average 
of 17:16 at Thompson Park compares favorably with Verona's 17:45 at the longer Warinanco course, a time that was 
heavily weighted by the meet record 15:48 by three-time sectional champ Dave Oster.

		The Parochial B race seems wide open with defending Roselle Catholic up in A this year. Monmouth County rivals 
St. Rose and Mater Dei have perhaps the best chance, with Moorestown Friends the unknown quantity.

		On the girls' side, two-time all-group defender Voorhees was hit hard by the swine flu last weekend, but a promising 
freshman group backed up veterans Colette Whitney, Kathryn Hahn and Katie Petruzzellis for a fourth-straight North Jersey 
2 title at Warinanco Park. The Vikings should have little trouble repeating in Gr. III this weekend. Their Skyland Conference 
rival, Hillsboro, ranked No. 1 at this point, won handily in CJ Gr. IV, but faces a tough challenge from Randolph, which finally 
put its act together last Saturday with a 1-2-4 finish at Garret Mountain, led by junior Joelle Amaral in 18:28.

		The Robbinsville girls, led by defending Gr. I champ Megan Flynn, had one of the day's lowest winning totals at 
24 points in Central Jersey, but will get a good run for their money this week from NJ I champ Mt. Lakes, which had a 
1-2-3 finish from three-time winner Kris Landry, Jenny Picot and frosh Colette Richter. Gr. II will probably be a repeat of 
the SJ battle between defender Haddonfield and Delsea, which came off with a 33-41 win on its home course behind a 
2-3 finish by Felicia O'Donnell and Ashley Deckert.

		The top Parochial A teams were idle last weekend. Defending Immaculate Heart Academy and Holy Angels both 
skipped the NJCTC meet and will resume their rivalry this weekend with the Angels' compact lineup giving it the edge not 
only in this race, but in the upcoming AG meet as well. In Parochial B, with the Pingry defenders moving up to A, 2007 
champion Wildwood Catholic, led by Tara Wuko, is the choice over Villa Walsh.

		Individual attention for the boys will naturally center on the Gr. III race with the Rosa twins going against AG defender 
Tyler Udland of Millburn. Next will come the Gr. I rematch of Oster and Pat Rono of Lyndhurst who chased him home last 
weekend in that NJ 2 race. Parochial A feature a duel between defender Pat Schellberg, winner of the NJCTC race last 
weekend in 16:02, and Mike Mazzaccaro of CBA. The last time they met, Mazzaccaro caught Schellberg at the finish of 
the NJCTC 3200 last spring.

		Gr. IV has an interesting match featuring NJ 1 winner Jeremy Elkaim of Livingston, NJ 2 champ Matt McDonald 
of North Hunterdon, CJ titlist Mike O'Dowd of Colts Neck and Joe Kotran of TR North, who upset David Forward of 
Shawnee in the South Jersey race. And lurking in the wings is Curtis Richburg of West Orange, who scored over 
Kotran and McDonald at the Shore Coaches invitational.

		Jon Vitez of Haddonfield figures to run away with his third Gr. II title and Colin Richmond of St. Rose should 
win in PB with plenty to spare.

		Gr. III heads the girls' action with Chelsea Ley of Kingway hoping to claim her first group title over Megan Venables 
of Highland and NJ 2 winner Vigilante of Mendham. Ley hit 17:32 in her 50-yard win over Venables in SJ; Vigilante came 
within a few seconds of Melanie Thompson's Warinanco Park record at 18:37 in NJ 2. 
		
		The Gr. IV race is the deepest of the girls' events with soph Caroline Kellner of WW-Plainsboro South hoping to 
repeat her CJ win over Jillian Prentice of Montgomery, Rashmi Singh of Hunterdon Central and Ashley Smolinka of 
Hillsboro, not to mention two other sectional winners, Joelle Amaral and Natalie Ocascio of Lenape, perhaps the state's 
outstanding freshman this year.

		Marielle Hall of Haddonfield was also under 18:00 at Delsea and is ready for the challenge from CJ winner Nichelle 
Harris in Gr. II. Flynn was beaten in CJ Gr. I by soph Brianna Feerst of Pt. Pleasant Beach and also has Landry to 
contend with this weekend. 
		         
		The Red Bank Catholic pair of Molly McNamara and Michelle Capozzi, both already under 19:00 at Holmdel this fall, 
should dominate the Parochial A race; Capozzi has a fast win last Saturday in the NJCTC race, with McNamara taking 
the day off. It should be a two-girl race in PB between Wuko and Kristen Traub of Eastern Christian. 
	    

	



     All eyes will be on the "B" races this Saturday when the 2009 cross-country season in New Jersey really gets 
under way with the massive Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel County Park.

		On the boys' side, there is the individual match of defending all-group champion Tyler Udland of Millburn and 
the Rosa twins of West Windsor-Plainsboro North: Joe, who finished second in that races and James, who placed 
6th and went on to win the all-group 3200 last spring when an injury sidelined Udland. The field will also include 
Jeremy Elkaim of Livingston and David Forward of Shawnee, both of whom broke 9:10 in that outdoor 3200.

		On the girls' side, the field will be headed by Chelsea Ley of Kingsway, who won the C race at Holmdel a year 
ago in 17:44, third fastest time in the history of the course behind the legendary runners of the 1980s, Janet Smith of 
North Edison and Michelle Rowen of Washington Twp. Her rivals will include Jillian Prentice of Montgomery, who has 
two major wins to her credit this fall, and Caroline Kellner of West Windsor-Plainsboro South, a sophomore who bids 
fair to eclipse her older brother Katie, third behind two-time AG champion Melanie Thompson of Voorhees and Ley a 
year ago.

		The next best individual boys' race could be in E where Jon Vitez of Haddonfield, winner at last weekend's 
Bowdoin Classic in Wappingers Falls, New York, goes against D.J. Thornton of Union Catholic and Pat Rono of 
Lyndhurst, the son of 1988 Olympic 1500-meter champion Peter Rono, who has won his two major starts this fall. 
The D race has Pat Schellberg of Delbarton, second last Saturday at the Ocean Classic in Rhode Island, the A 
field is headed by Matt McDonald of North Hunterdon, who was the fastest winner at last Saturday's Stewart 
Memorial at Warinanco Park and the F by Dave Oster of Verona, top hand at the Passaic County Coaches 
Invitational at Garret Mountain.
		
		Julie Jablonski of Hopewell Valley, who won the A	 at the Stewart Memorial, heads a strong C field which 
includes 2009 all-stater Megan Venables of Highland, and Ajee Wilson of Neptune, a double winner at last summer's 
AAU National Junior Olympics in the 400 and 800. Marielle Hall of Haddonfield, who doubled the 1600 and 3200 at 
the USATF Junior Olympics, has not run a major race to date this fall, and, if she makes her debut this weekend, 
faces a tough challenge from Caroline Williams of Mt. St. Mary's, fastest winner at the Magee Memorial class 
meet two weeks ago at Warinanco.

		The A race has an interesting field with no clear favorite. South Brunswick has sophomore Cayla DelPiano, 
another winner at the Magee meet, and senior Sophia Ginez of South Brunswick, who sat out last weekend after 
collapsing near the finish of the Magee senior race. Caitlin Orr of Lenape, who won the large school race at the 
Coiugan Invitational last weekend, Alyssa Harris of Millville, winner at the South Jersey shootout, and Ashley 
Smolinka of Hillsboro, a second team all-stater last fall, are also in the field.

		The state's top two teams met last weekend at the Bowdoin Classic with Vitez leading Haddonfield to a 54-57 
win over Germantown Friends, Christian Brothers placing third at 67. Jon's time of 15:41 was third fastest in the 
history of the course and teammates Ben Potts and Colin Baker were also in the top 10. The teams will be far apart 
this weekend, Haddonfield in the morning B race and the Colts in the afternoon A affair against  Gr. IV contenders 
Old Bridge, Bridgewater, Toms River North and Westfield. 

		The girls' A race will also be somewhat of a preview of the Gr. IV meet with Hunterdon Central, South Brunswick, 
Toms River North and Southern Ocean in the field. But two key players will be missing. Ridge., with two wins this fall, 
is in the B race against Immaculate Heart Academy and Westfield, and Randolph, easy winner of the A race at the 
Passaic Coaches meet, will be absent entirely.

		Three potential state champions, Summit (Gr. II), Voorhees (Gr. III) and Holy Angels (Parochial A), head a strong 
field in D and the F race has the state's top four Gr. I teams, headed by defender Robbinsville, and also including Mt. 
Lakes, North Warren and New Providence.

		The Passaic meet last weekend had a pair of interesting incidents, one perhaps unprecedented, the other an 
occupational hazard in cross-country. In the first, the meet was delayed an hour or so after runners in an early race were 
attacked by a bee swarm. An exterminator had to be summoned, to solve the problem, while the runners sat around and 
waited for action to resume.

		The second came in the boys' A race when the top three runners, cross-country novice Curtis Richburg of West 
Orange, who had won handily in the senior race at the Magee meet, Colin Frost of Randolph and Elkaim, went off course 
around the two-mile mark and wound up out of the first 10.     
 

				


		The first meeting of the co-favorites for the New Jersey boys' all-group championships this year will take place this
weekend on a foreign field as Haddonfield and Christian Brothers take on the best New York has to offer at the Bowdoin 
Classic.

		Neither team was in action last weekend, the Haddons taking the day off entirely and the Colts running only in the 
sophomore and freshman divisions of the Magee Memorial Class Meet at Warinanco Park. Haddonfield had dominated 
the Cherokee Challenge two weeks ago with Jon Vitez winning the senior race and Ben Potts the junior; CBA had yet to 
send its first team into action except in dual competition.

		Speaking of the latter, Tom Heath's boys passed another milestone this past Monday as they raised their national 
dual meet winning streak to 300 with no end in sight. It is now some 33 years since CBA last lost on this level of 
competition and the success of its underclass group in two outings this fall indicates it will be several years before they 
face a serious challenge from their local competition.

		The Magee Memorial provided the highlights of both boys' and girls' action this past weekend, its only rival being 
out of state: the Regis Invitational where Don Bosco won handily with a 1-2 finish from Howard Rosas and Rafael Vargas 
in 12:55 and 12:57 on the slightly revamped two and a half mile course at Van Cortlandt Park and the Briarwood 
Invitational at Philadelphia's Fairmont Park where Joe and James Rosa led West Windsor-Plainsboro Park to a 63-69 win 
over LaSalle in 15:19 and 15:38. The defending AG champs, however, showed a lack of depth as their fifth finisher came 
home in 18:04.  

		Fastest of the boy winners at Warinanco was cross-country novice Curtis Richburg of West Orange, who won the 
senior event handily in 16:19 from Anthony Bellitti of Ridge. Richburg had made a tentative debut the week before at the 
Roxbury Invitational, failing to make the top 10 in the junior-senior race. This time, he followed Bellitti closely through the 
first two and a half, then ran away from the field when the runners hit the track for the final lap.

		Missing from this race was defending AG champ Tyler Udlland, who sat out the weekend with his teammates due 
to the clash with the Jewish holidays. 

		Darrel Gooding of Franklin, who had won at the St. Dominic Academy Invitational a week earlier, scored here in 
the sophomore event at 16:29. Matt McDonald of North Hunterdon had the second-fastest time of the day as he outran 
Jake Ruskan of Bridgewater to win the junior event in 16:27.

		Ruskan, who ran the last mile of the event missing one shoe, led a strong team effort by the Panthers, who also 
had a 4-5 finish from Dom Tasco and Chris Banafato in the senior race, as well as a 9th-place finish by Andrew Bak. 
Their fifth boy, Mike Jones, had a creditable 17:22 as he placed 12th in the same race. This performance sets up a 
close Gr. IV battle at the state meet with Old Bridge, which dominated its own Central Jersey Shootout at Thompson 
Park.

		Copying the format of its South Jersey namesake, which comes up this Saturday at Gloucester County College, 
this one had three races, the first for a team's 1-2 runners, the second for numbers 3-4 and the third 5-6-7. Old Bridge 
went 4-5 in the first with Moheb Thomas and Corey O'Neill, 1-2 in the second with Anthony Branco and Vince Vento 
and 1-2-3 in the third with Shawn Burke, Joe Capolino and Mike Stateson. John Arnone of Red Bank won the top race 
in 16:13 from Ewing sophomore Matt Bearden.

		The Season Opener at Darlington Park on Friday saw Salim Corbin of Paterson Eastside outkick Dan Rondon 
of North Bergen in the A race in 16:03 and Pat Rono of Lyndhurst take the C event in 16:00. It was a return to action 
for Rondon, who had an outstanding junior season last fall, but missed both the indoor and outdoor campaigns with a 
leg injury. Sherif Ali led Cliffside Park to its first ever open cross-country win as he took the B race in 16:50.

		The girls' races at the Magee Memorial had both good and bad news for South Brunswick, which is looking 
forward to an outstanding year in all three seasons. Soph Cayla DelPiano won her race in 19:24, but senior Sophia 
Ginez collapsed in the homestretch of a tightly-contested senior event, which was won by Caroline Williams of 
Mt. St. Mary's over Colette Whitney of Voorhees in 19:09. The Vikings also had Lyndsey Sample and Jen Smilgis 
finish 9-10 in that race, indicating it could give AG favorites Randolph and Ridge a run for their money in November.

		Ridge took both overall team titles at the Magee meet (Randolph, like Millburn, was on the sidelines) with five 
girls in the top five of their respective races, led by Jackie Madden's 19:44 for 5th in the senior event. The other three 
in full-course races were all well under 21:00. 

		Holy Angels turned in an outstanding team effort at the Season Opener,. Going 1-2-3-4-5 iu the A race with 
Jen Molke winning in 19:34. Alyssa LaGuardia took the B race for DePaul in 19:56 and Betsy Eickelberg of Leonia 
the C event in 20:00. 

		The Central Jersey Shootout "A" race drew a strong field with Ashley Smolinka of Hillsboro finishing 10 yards 
ahead of Rashmi Singh of Hunterdon Central in 18:50. Singh's teammate Allison Payenski, was 3rd, also under 
19:00 and the Red Raiders went on to claim team honors with Carlie Skellington taking the B race in 20:11 and 
three other girls under 21:00. 

		At the lightly-entered Battle of Monmouth, the Prendergast sisters, Gerri and Kris, of visiting Highland won 
the senior and junior races in 20:28 and 21:08. The Tartans lead runner, 2008 all-stater Megan Venables, finished 
in a virtual tie with Kris in the junior race, evidently recovered from the injury which ruined her outdoor season.

		  

		   




		All-group defender Tyler Udland of Millburn opened his senior campaign in style last Friday in weather more suited to 
mid-November than to the actual calendar date of early September.

		Battling strong winds, rain and muddy underfooting, Udland covered the Freedom Park course in Randolph in 15:59, 
confirming that he was fully recovered from the leg injury which had sidelined him for all of the indoor season and much of the 
outdoor campaign last winter and spring. He finished 50 yards ahead of Colts Neck junior Mike O'Dowd in the Div. III meet at 
the Randolph Invitational.

		The meet also saw three other notable victories. Kevin Byrne, Jr., of Red Bank Catholic led his team to victory in the 
Div. II race in 16:33, Jillian Prentice of Montgomery won the girls' Div. III event in 18:39 and Eastern Christian soph scored in 
Div. I in 18:50.

		There was also one notable team result in the girls' Div. III race as Ridge upset host Randolph, 52-56. The Rams are 
the pre-season favorite for the AG title, but Ridge put three runners in the top 10, led by veteran Jackie Madden, who finished 
6th in 19:54. Red Bank Catholic, another AG contender, had a 1-2 finish from Michelle Capozzi and Molly McNamara in the 
Div. II race, but lost, 35-37, to visiting Pearl River, which had all five of its girls in the top 10.

		The weather was much warmer the next day, though rain continued to fall throughout the state. The Cherokee Challenge, 
a class meet run at 3200M, drew much the strongest fields of the five races that day, most notably in the senior girls' race where 
Chelsea Ley of Kingsway, a prohibitive favorite for AG honors this fall, ran away from her rivals to win for the 4th year in a row in 1
1:12.

		Her probably chief AG rival, Marielle Hall of Haddonfield, was absent here after a hectic summer, which included a 
double at the USATF Junior Olympics this summer and participation in the World Youth Games. It was Chelsea Cox of 
Southern Ocean, a 400 and 800-meter runner in the winter and spring, who placed 2nd to Ley, ahead of such all-state 
candidates as Rashmi Singh of Hunterdon Centra, Julie Jablonski of Hopwell Valley, Corrie Gethard of Southern Ocean, 
Sophia Ginez of South Brunswick and Caitlin Orr of Lenape.
		
		Winner of the junior race in 11:45 was Millville soph Alyssa Harris, who won the intermediate 3K at the AAU Junior 
Olympics, while Haley Pierce of visiting Tatnall, Del., took the woph event from Cayla DelPiano of South Brunswick, who 
ran 11:36. 

		Jon Vitez of Haddonfield matched Ley as a four-0time winner, taking the senior boys' event from Sam Macaluso of 
West Windsor-Plainsboro South in 9:33. His teammate, Ben Potts, was the junior winner in 9:58, while two other members 
of the defending Gr. II champs, Matt Nussbaum and Colin Baker, were at 10:00 and 10:04. The Haddons are co-favorites 
with Christian Brothers for the AG title.

		The Colts held their top runners out last weekend, but had an impressive win in the sophomore division at the 
Roxbury Invitational, led by Conrad Lippert, who won the race by 15 yards from Jack Leahy of Westfield in 16:29. The 
junior-senior race there went to Mike Kelley of Westfield in 16:15. On the girls' side Mary Migton of Roxbury took the 
junior-senior event in 19:07 and Sara Quinn of Gill-St. Bernard's the soph race in 19:46. Morris County's premier runner, 
2008 Footlocker finalist Laura Vigilante of Mendham, was on a college visit.

		The Lancer Invitational on the spacious Livingston HS campus had a small field, but a pair of impressive winners, 
9:07 3200-meter runner Jeremy Elkaim of the home team winning the boys' race from Colin Richmond of St. Rose in a 
meet record 16:05 and Diana D'Achille of Mt. Olive coming back from a year-long injury to win the girls' event in 20:09.

		A second meet in Livingston saw Olivia Tarantino of Pingry, another victim of injury last winter and sprint, lead a 
1-2-3 finish in the girls' event in 19:33, and Scott Chamberlain of Blair head a victory for his team in 16:42.

		The Petty Fun Run Classic, a non-scoring event at Delaware Valley, had a good match in the girtls' event with 
Emma Giantisco of the home team outrunning Colette Whitney of Voorhees by 20 yards in 19:11. The Vikings, AG champs 
the past two years, had five in the top seven, but will have to close the minute and more-long gap between its first and 
second girls to be a threat to threepeat this fall. Matt McDonald took the boys' event in 16:32.

		Liz Shaw of Mater Dei, second to graduated teammate Marie Walsh a year ago, won at the St. Dominic Academy 
Invitational in Lincoln Park, Jersey City, in 20:45, with soph Darrell Gooding of Franklin taking the boys; race in 16:53. 

		Class meets will again dominate the New Jersey landscape this weekend, led by the Magee Memorial at Warinanco 
Park and the Battle of Monmouth at, appropriately, Monmouth Battlefield.
