Fayetteville Manlius Sets Meet Record
By John Sullivan
With a virtual who’s-who of cross country powers, this race was a great way to kick off Saturday’s events. Toeing the line were NTN squads from Fayetteville-Manlius NY, Royal CA and Kroy TC (York IL), among others.
Morris Hills NJ got a strong leadoff leg and handed off with 1-second margin over a group which included Fayetteville jr Geoff King in 4:22.3y. On leg 2, Fayetteville sr John Heron ran 4:19.7 to close on Morris Hills which continued to lead the charge.
Next for Fayetteville was sr Owen Kimple, the recent NY 1600 champ with a stellar 4:07.71. He took the lead early, but Morris Hills continued to hang tough. Kimple finally exerted his authority on lap 4 and closed well to record a 4:16.9 split.
Fayetteville anchor jr Tommy Gruenewald opened in 60.5 and it was now F-M against the clock. His loping-style served the squad well as his 4:19.3 leg finished off a 17:18.33 meet record, taking down the 17:20.92 by Novi MI in 2001. This also moves F-M to #8 all-time, the fastest clocking since 1986.
Afterwards, Gruenewald commented, “I hadn’t been to the track until this morning. Geoff (King) and I had an English final yesterday and then hopped in the car for the 11-hour drive here.” Teammate Kimple added, “Unfortunately I’ve been fighting a cold this week and I felt sluggish today. I’m going to rest up for the DMR (later tonight). I’m running the 1200 and we’ll be running with the same four guys .”
Royal CA jr Michael Cybulski, doubling back from last night’s late 2-mile effort, produced a strong anchor to claim silver in 17:27.72. He said, “I felt pretty good out there. I got too bed late, around 1:30am, and got only 5 hours sleep. I had a few knots in my quads this morning, but a stop at the massage tent worked that problem out.”

Fayetteville-Manlius (Manlius, NY) High School put together the
year's fastest time with a victory over Royal High (Simi Valley, CA). The
Californians had the season best, 17:19.31, coming into the Nike Outdoor
Nationals.
The Fayetteville-Manlius foursome of Geoff King, John Heron, Owen Kimple and
Tommy Gruenewald bettered the five-year-old meet record of 17:20.92 by Novi,
Mich.
“This is an awesome feeling,” said Gruenewald. “You're talking about the best in
the country, and we came out on top.”
The mile relay opened Saturday's competition at North Carolina A&T's Irwin Belk
Track, and Heron's leg proved decisive. Midway through the race, the senior was
running side-by-side with Jayson Decker of Morris Hills (Rockaway, NJ). But
Heron opened a lead on his final lap, and by the time Gruenewald got the stick
the outcome was academic..
“I thought we kept a good pace for most of the race,” said Gruenewald. “We
talked about not getting out too early, but waiting to see how slow everyone was
going to start out. Once everyone started picking up the pace, we were ready.”
Royal High passed Morris Hills to claim third with a time of 17:27.72. The New
Jersey squad settled for third in 17:30.18.
