Fordham Prep NY was waiting all season for a shot at revenge and redemption.

And it got both and a whole more in spectacular and record breaking fashion.

Trailing nemesis Sheepshead Bay NY by a hurdle when he took off to run the anchor leg, senior Wayne Seaton ran 7.0 and caught Sheepshead anchor Lavaughn Harris right at the line to not only give Fordham Prep the dramatic victory, but a new national record, stopping the clock at 29.15. Sheepshead Bay was also under the old record, running 29.18.

Trenton NJ set the national record when it won here last year in 29.38.

``They beat us in the hurdles twice this year and it was our time to finally do it,’’ said Seaton. ``This was our last shot an indoor national title and everyone put it all together,’’ said Seaton. ``Usually you have a guy get a bad start or someone hits a hurdle or something else goes wrong, but today we ran a perfect race. And that’s what we had to do win this.’’

One of the biggest keys to Fordham Prep’s historic victory was leadoff man, senior Andrew Hemmings.

Last year, Hemmings, using blocks for the first time ever, had a rough start and Fordham Prep finished 11th in 31.97.

But this time, Hemmings got out clean and handled his leg in 7.7 to get things started. Senior Ed Allison followed with a 7.2 and junior Bruce Grant had a 7.0 before Seaton’s anchor.

``Last year at this meet was the first time I ever ran with blocks,’’ said Hemmings. ``This year, we’ve been practicing with them and we were ready. Wse wanted to make up for what happened last year.’’

Sheepshead Bay got out to quick lead by leading off its top man, state champion Darryl Bradshaw, which kind of surprised Fordham Prep.

``I just expected that he’d anchor,’’ said Seaton. ``When he led off and blew out to a big lead, I was getting a little nervous. But I had faith in my teammates and they made it closer and closer for me.’’

Seaton said he was confident he could pull it out.

``I have beaten him (Harris), so I felt I could close the gap, but at the line I couldn’t tell if I got him or not. But I guess we had a little luck on our side with the lean.’’
