Group
Championship Weekend Preview
by Ed Grant
The biggest news leading into this Saturday's group championships at
Holmdel County Park happened not at the four sectional sites last weekend,
but in a doctor's office on Monday when defending girls' all-group champ
Lindsay Van Alstine of Hawthorne Christian was given the go-ahead to compete
in the Parochial B race.
There are, of course, question marks about her condition after a
layoff that began more than a month ago, but presumably Lindsay has engaged
in cross-training to maintain the condition which marked her early victories
this fall. She should have no trouble qualifying for the all-group meet,
so
she will go into the all-group meet with 10 days of training and racing
behind her.
She will have to be in prime condition to win a second all-group
title against the double challenge of the Trotter twins, who had a season's
low of 18:16 apiece in the Central Jersey Gr. III race last Saturday.
One
thing is sure: the return of Van Alstine means that we just might see
an
all-out race by the twins for the first time in NJ this season.
While the Trotters obviously provided the individual highlight of
the 16 girls' sectional races, it was more difficult to choose the top
boy
performance, though it certainly came from the South Jersey meet at Delsea
HS. Peter Hess of Toms River North won a close Gr. IV race from Keith
Krieger of Cherokee in 15:18; Chris Platt had an easier time taking the
Gr.
II title from Robbie Edwards of Bridgeton in 15:24. And there were excellent
performances from Mohamed Khadraoui of Paterson Kennedy in the North Jersey
1 Gr. IV race at Garret Mountain and from Justin Scheid of Pope John in
the
New Jersey Catholic Track Conference race on the muddy and no-spikes course
at Warinanco Park.
Teamwise, the top boys' performance was undoubtedly Hunterdon
Central's winning effort in Gr. IV at Holmdel, a race that had four strong
candidates for all-group places. But Mainland wasn't that far behind as
it
easily defended its South Jersey crown and remains No. 1 in the state,
a
post it has held all season.
Toms River East, however, took over top place among the girls with
its 19:31 average in the Gr. IV race at Delsea. This rates quite a bit
faster than the 20:22 turned in by Hopewell Valley in taking the Gr. II
race
at Holmdel. And Shawnee was only eight second a girl behind the Raiders.
Let's now take a look at the group meet, with a review of sectional
action included:
Boys -
Girls
Boys
Gr. IV: There could be five AG team qualifiers from
this race, but
there are six contenders, so someone will get hurt. Hunterdon Central
and
Toms River North, which easily defeated Cherokee in South Jersey, are
the
top pair, with Bridgewater, Hillsboro, Old Bridge and Ridgewood scrapping
for the other spots. Only four points separated Bridgewater, Hillsboro
and
Old Bridge in the CJ race. And the Knights ran much out of order with
usual
leader Rich Lafergiola their 5th man over the line.
Individually, this will probably be a repeat of the SJ race between
Hess and Krieger with CJ champ Chris Pannone of Huntdreon Central and
mystery man Khadraoui (who has never run off the Garret course) the dark
horses.
Gr. III: No question about the team winner here; Maianland
is in a
class by itself. The scrap will be for the other two places among Ocean
City, surprise CJ winner Middletown South, Red Bank (which had three in
the
top 10 last Saturday, but got a terrible race from usual No. 2 man Jovannie
Cortez) and Cranford.
Individual favorites are SJ champ John Richardson of Ocean City and
CJ winner Robbie Dennis of Red Bank, who has "home court" advantage,
having
run four major races at Holmdel this year. The dark horse is indoor state
1600 champ Jeremy Zagorski of Parsippany Hills, who suddenly came alive
last
Saturday to upset Ed Clinton of Cranford for the North Jersey 2 title.
Gr. II: This will be the rubber match between Haddonfield
and
Cinnaminson, which have split their two meetings this fall. The Haddons,
defending AG champs, are at top form right now, but could still use a
little
more help from John Bernetich, who has yet to show his sophomore form.
The
other three sectional champs, Matawan, Hanover Park and Indian Hills are
well-matched for the third AG qualifying spot.
Platt seems back in top form and, if so, will have no trouble
defending his individual title.against Edwards, who was 75 yards back
last
Saturday on a course more suitable to his talents. The dark horse here,
and
probably successor to Platt next year, is Matawan soph Thomas Walsh who
won
the CJ title and has been simply sensational since joining the Huskies
in
mid-season.
Gr. I: Bernards shocked group defender Shore to win
a close Central
Jersey race, while Maple Shade ran away from its SJ rivals. These three
should qualify easily, but in what order is still a question.
Marc Altenau of Shore salvaged his individual crown and seems to
have no serious rival from the other sectional winners, though newcomer
Tom
Gemignani of Keansburg and Evan Geilich of Bernards were pretty close
to him
in the CJ race.
Parochial A: Christian Brothers outclasses the field
here, but there
will be quite a battle for the other two AG alots among Morris County
champ
Delbarton, South Jersey Parochial winner (and Camden County champ) Paul
VI,
Red Bank Catholic and Don Bosco.
The individual field is a strong one, led by Will Melofchik and Pat
Ryan of CBA, Sean Swift and Peter Gerboth of Don Bosco, Paul Rosa of
Delbarton and Andrew Vernon of Paul VI. Gerboth, Rosa (who rested last
Saturday) and Vernon are all county champs as is John Laracy of St. Peter's.
Parochial B: Sussex County champ Pope John heads this
field with
Bishop Eustace, Oratory and Montclair-Kimberley Academy the other all-group
contenders.
The individual race will be a hot one with Scheid going against
Oskar Nordenbring of Montclair-Kimberley Academy, who has won all his
races
this fall and is going for a third straight PB title.
Girls
Gr. IV: The big question here is how Mara McInerney,
who led Old Bridge
to the title last year, will fare in her first major race of the season.
The
Knights managed to win the CJ title last weekend, but their perfroamce
left
them looking like a wild card hopeful behind Toms River East, Shawnee
and
Jackson. Their competition will come from Brick, Cherokee and Morristown
and
there is no guarantee that there will be any spots available after the
Gr.
III finish later in the day.
After a lapse at the Shore Conference meet, Jackson frosh was back
to her winning ways at the SJ meet. Her competion will come from another
of
the yearling class, Morris County and NJ 2 champ Jenn Ennis of Roxbury.
A
third frosh, Kellee Hand of Howell, took the CJ crown.
Gr. III: This could be one of the closest team races
of the day with
Moorestown and a suddenly-revived Middletown South team the main contenders.
Red Bank had the fastest average last Saturday, but that was entirely
due to
the twins as the Bucs were only third behind Middletown South and a
surprising Princeton team in CJ. Also in the wild card picture are the
1-2
NJ 2 finishers, Morris Knolls and Montville.
There is naturally only one question about the individual
winner here: which twin will get the official's nod. Defender Jesse Mizzone
of Passaic Valley, Dilshanie Perera of Princeton and NJ 2 winner Ashley
Wolf
of Montville will scrap for third. Missing, unfortunately will be Ewing
frosh Colleen Calhoun, who ran 19:28 for third behind the twins last
Saturday, but committed the heinous offnse of wearing a pair of tiny
earrings which, as Ed Scullion put it, "probably made her run a lot
faster,
Gr. II: This will be a repeat of the CJ race between
Hopewell Valley
and Voorhees, with HoVall having an obvious edge with its closeknit pack.
The third spot will probably go to Haddonfield, though Pinelands, which
also
had a season's best race last Saturday, its closest rival
Sara Best of Voorhees heads the individual field with her 19:34 win
at Holmdel last saturday, but she has two interesting rivals: the versatile
Megs DiDario of Berkeley Heights, who is undefeated this fall, and
Haddonfield frosh Vanessa Wright,one of six frosh to win sectionals titles
last Saturday.
Gr. I: Unlike the boys, the Shore Regional girls came
through with
flying colors last Saturday and should have no trouble retaining their
title. Three teams will battle for the other two AG places, SJ winner
Pt.
Pleasant Beach, Gloucester and NJ 2 champ Mountain Lakes
The individual race could be a repeat of the Central Jersey contest
which saw Julie Ullmeyer of Shore finished 25 yards ahead of Grace deMarrais
of Bernards. There is an interesting possibility, however, in the presence
of Amy Van Alstine of Midland Park, kid sister of Lindsay, who was another
of the frosh sectional winners in NJ 1.
Parochial A: Probably the most wide open team race
of the day with
five possible winners: Red Bank Catholic, which took the NJCTC title last
Saturday; Paul VI, the South Jersey Parochial winner; Msgr. Donovan, another
of the "come alive" teams last Saturday with a second in the
NJCTC meet; Mt.
St. Mary's and Bergen County champ Immaculate Heart Academy. RBC naturally
has home court advantage and also the best bunched team of the lot.
There seems little doubt, however, about the individual winner,
Bridget Skeuse of Immaculata has been running up a storm this fall, taking
the Somerset County title and the NJCTC crown with the best time at
Warinanco that day. Battling for second will be Lead Brogan of Msgr. Donovan
and South Jersey Parochial winner Erin Sigwart of Paul VI.
Parochial B: Lindsay Van Alstine will not have an easy
time here
aginst Lacordaire frosh Jen Croghan, who finished only 10 yards behind
Skeuse in the NJCTC race. The race for third will be between Liz Hankinson
of Oak Knoll and Grace Nuzzi of St. Joseph, Hammonton, runner-up to Sigwart.
The team batte should be close among Bishop Eustace, Pingry and
newcomer Oak Knoll, which has enjoyed quite a fall, taking both conference
and county honors.(Its coaches certainly, as CC runners in their time,
outclass any other combination in the state: Tim Lear and Anthony
DeBenedictis)
