Boys Distance Medley

by Pete Cava and Ricky Quintana

The West Springfield (Va.) quartet of John Cook, Joseph McMahon, Steve Tobin
and Jeff Day claimed victory in 10:22.15. Cook gave the Virginians an early lead, with Syosset (NY) right on his heels. At the first exchange, however, Michigan’s Spirit of Pre team took charge with West Springfield second.

By the third leg, it was a three-team race with the Michigan squad ahead of Wayne (Huber Heights, OH) and West Springfield. Tobin put the Virginians back in the lead and began to pull away. By now Thomas Jefferson Science (Alexandria, VA) had moved into second with Oakton (VA) third.

On the third leg, it was a footrace only in the academic sense. Day opened up a considerable lead, well ahead of Spirit of Pre in second place. Oakton and Thomas Jefferson were in a close battle for third.

Spirit of Pre finished in 10:25.83, with Thomas Jefferson edging Oakton for third
place, 10:31.01 to 10:31.22.

“We were real confident and we just took it,” said McMahon. “I thought our first
leg was going to run away with it.”

Tobin wasn’t as self-assured. “At the beginning of my leg, I was a little worried,”
he admitted. “I knew in the homestretch of the first lap, they were going too slow. I just had to put on a kick. I stayed on my toes the whole way. I knew after my leg, no one was going to catch Jeff.”

Cook, McMahon, Tobin and Day are all seniors.
