Gettysburg Invitational @ Gettysburg
HS - Manheim Township super soph
Craig Miller didn't surprise anyone today. But he still went out and
topped his own meet record against top senior Brian Fuller of Cumberland
Valley. Miller went out hard and took a commanding 30 meter lead before
the mile, but the experienced Fuller, running his own race, worked his
way back before two miles and hoped to outkick the younger harrier like
he did at States in 2002 when both received the same time, going 4th and
5th. But Miller won this dual and broke his course record of 15:58 he
had run last year. (Twin Brad has resumed training following a fractured
foot, and expects to race again by the end of September.) In the girls
Varsity A race, junior Janelle Young of Cedar Cliff ran much of the way
stride-for-stride with senior Kylee Schuler of Chambersburg, winning in
18:44.The boys small school race was won by Andrew Montgomery of George
Mason, VA in 16:35, while Lancaster Mennonite frosh Shertzer, Lindsey
held off senior teammate Kristen Groff by four seconds to win in 20:03.
Twin Valley Relays (4 member
team, 2 miles each) - West Chester
Henderson has been doing relays so far this season, but it's hard to
hide their one-two punch of Ian Gottesfeld and Greg Williams (or is it
the other way around?). Four runners each run a two-mile loop, and
Williams had the day's best split of 10:27, while Gottesfeld was 2nd
best at 10:30. The two marks are also the fastest on record for the
meet. Henderson's "A" squad won with a total time of 45:06,
19 seconds
better than Tulpehocken.
Duquesne Invitational @ Schenley
Park, Pittsburgh - Ian Fitzgerald

effort with two other teammates in the top six, led his team to a 78-81
win over rival Mount Lebanon. North Allegheny, Hampton, Central Catholic
and Baldwin were 3-6. Jim O'Toole of Mount Lebanon went 15:42 for
second. In the girls' race, sophomore Katie Grimm of Penn Hills went
18:30 to win by six seconds over North Allegheny's Amy Ruffolo. But
North Allegheny posted only 56 points. North Hills was 2nd, 133 points,
Hampton 3rd, 169.
