DyeStat XC Region Review NE
Summary of Northeast Top Ten, Week Ending Oct. 13, 2007
By Matt Soja, Dyestat NE Regional Editor
Boys - Girls
The big story this weekend was obviously the Manhattan Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park, where most of the region’s top teams competed against the best of New York and Southeast. On the boys’ side, North Penn’s dominating performance was the big surprise with Danbury also looking in excellent shape. In the girls’ loaded Eastern States race Hanover and Voorhees showed why they are deservedly ranked as the best two teams in the region, finishing third and fourth behind New York powers Fayetteville-Manlius and Saratoga. There were also a few extraordinary performances by unranked teams, including Don Bosco NJ boys, which may be reflected in this week’s new rankings. For more on Manhattan, see Dyestat’s meet coverage on its own page.
Elsewhere, Brookline boys dominated the Bay State Invitational, taking 1-2-3 individually as well as the team title. Haddonfield and Con-Val boys also won local meets against in-state competition.
Next week brings us the Pre-Regional meet at Bowdoin Park, which Dyestat will cover on-site. Elsewhere, the Brown Invitational should feature most of the best teams in New England while Eastern States meet at Van Cortlandt Park (not to be confused with this weekend’s Eastern States girls race) should result in another bevy of great 2.5 mile performances.
BOYS
1. Danbury (CT)
Won the B Division at Manhattan 56-71 over Southeast leaders Oakton VA with a 13:02.8 average, second best of the day behind North Penn.
3. Will Ahearn 12:45.2
6. Matt Terry 12:53.7
14. Tucker Schaefer 13:06.7
15. Ricky Balmaseda 13:09.7
18. Justin Ray 13:18.5
30. Joey Bubniak 13:27.7
51. David Zimmerman 13:47.6

2. Brookline (MA)
Instead of going to the Bronx, they opted to stay closer to home and dominated the competition at the Bay State Invitational, winning 72-165 over Whitman-Hanson. Their spectacular 1-2-3 punch resulted in an impressive 16:14.4 average, but depth is really an issue as their fifth runner did not break 17 minutes on the fast Franklin Park course.
1. Bob Gibson 15:49
2. David Wilson 15:55
3. Michael Burnstein 15:58
15. Elliot Lehane 16:29
53. Brendan Grove 17:01
70. Ryan Hardiman 17:12
193. Nick Perry 18:37

3. Germantown Friends (PA)
Won the E Division at Manhattan with 71 points, defeating Thousand Islands from Canada (86) and Brentsville VA, one of the best teams in the Southeast (102). Their 13:10.5 average was the fourth best among Northeast teams, behind North Penn, Danbury, and Don Bosco.
1. Max Kaulbach 12:28.0
5. Jake McKenzie 12:53.7
13. Gus McKenzie 13:18.6
22. Isaac Ortiz 13:31.0

74. Ross Wistar 14:15.2
83. Eddie Einbender 14:23.0
Meet results: http://ny.milesplit.us/meets/25795/results/56126
4. North Penn (PA)
Had a spectacular performance at Manhattan, dominating the D race 44-98 over Southeast powerhouse Midlothian VA, and getting the only sub-13 average of the day (12:58.0), ahead of Danbury and Germantown. And all that despite Hoagland’s sickness, which may have cost him at least 15 seconds. This might propel them to the top spot in the region in this week’s rankings.
3. Zack Montijo 12:44.6
6. Brad Miles 12:50.7
7. Zach Hoagland 12:53.0

6. Merrimack (NH)
Lost the tight A Division race at Manhattan to Smithtown NY 71-78, but ahead of Shaker, ranked #3 in NY last week. Their average of 13:25.9 was the 8th best among the Northeast teams at the meet, and their top 10 status is a little precarious.
9. William Godfrey 13:15.6
11. Alex Beaulieu 13:19.6
14. Brenden Repack 13:23.3
20. Seth Hafferkamp 13:31.3

7. Monsignor Donovan (NJ)
After their impressive Shore Coaches win last weekend, the 19th place finish at Eastern States was a disappointment, and it will likely cost them a spot in the regional top ten.
