Boys Freshman Win County Title, Zorn Takes Individual Crown
For the 3rd straight year the freshman boys won the county championships. Destroying the competition the freshman scored 28 points to beat runner-up Iona Prep's 98.
Freshman Justin Zorn, in his first season of running, took the individual crown by 8 seconds. The rookie has proven to be one of the best freshman of all time.
John Courtien continued to have a fantastic freshman year as he placed 3rd. Ben D'Urso was 7th, Mike Maloney 12th, and Mike Polvere 14th. With 5 of the top 14 it was the lowest team score that we have ever won with. Last year's squad scored 36.
The JV boys put up a battle As Mike Persic and Mike Rosillo led the squad in 18:37 and 18:45. Ryan Matsumoto and Kai Crannel ran 19:17 and 19:20 and Elliot Kravits had his best race of the season with his 20:04 effort. The course was slippery and was running at least 30 seconds slower than usual.
The varsity boys struggled a bit to a 3rd place finish. Albert Tunas led the way in 14th with Charles Conway in 19th. Rob Gorecki struggled to a 20th place finish after cramping badly after the mile. Scott Friedman was 33rd, Isaac Shelby 41st, and David Sammel 47th. Usual 4th man Frankie LiCursi was sick but still battled to a 60th place finish.
The boys finished the decade with an average place of 3.4 at the County Championships. Only Horace Greeley was better over the last ten year with an average of 3.0.
