Haddonfield joined a
select group of teams when it put three runners
under 13:00 in winning the
A race at the Fordham Eastern boys championships
last Saturday at the classic
2.5M Van Cortlandt Park course. And it could
have been four. Junior
Chris Platt (the Armory site is wrong in labeling him a soph;
in fact, he won
the soph race last year at the Footlocker trials but will be
chasing bigger
game this time) and senior Skip Stiles (in his first CC
season) came over the
line almost together in 12:40, while senior Breton
Bonnette ran 3rd in 12:56
in the easy team win. John Bernetich, 4th member
of the 4MR team last spring,
is still on the injury list. The team average was 13:05 well under the
close finish in the
Manhattan meet a week earlier between Old Bridge and Bishop
Hendricken.,
Haddonfield is now a strong favorite for the NJ AG title, while
Platt and
Stiles figure to give Marc Pelerin of Cherokee a run for his money
for the
individual title. The NJ state meet gets under way this weekend
with sectional
meets at four sites for the four public school groups. The AG
team titles
could go to two schools which are practially next door neighbors,
Haddonfield
for the boys and Moorestown for the girls, though they are in
different counties.
Haddonfield skipped its county meet last week to rest for the
Fordham race
48 hours later. Since uts league does not run an open meet, it
has only the
three weeks of the state meet---separated by a break on the
first weekend of
November--on its menu. It has a chance to score a perfect
15 in its sectional
meet on Saturday Ed Grant Return
