Boys’ Cross Country Wins State Prep Title!
The boys’ cross country team continued its sensational season by winning the New Jersey State Prep Cross Country Championships on November 3. Head coach Marty Miller – who noted that the Blair golf course was the site of the 3.1-mile competition, run on a sunny and cool afternoon – reports:
“Who said distance running wasn’t a team sport? In a highly competitive race, three teams – St Benedict’s, Seton Hall Prep and Blair – appeared to be running neck-and-neck throughout the various loops of the Blair golf course. It was downright difficult to discern who was in the lead for the team trophy. Every place counted, everyone on the varsity seven played an important role, and Blair came out on top! Scott Chamberlin tried valiantly but couldn’t match strides with St. Benedict’s Kenyan phenom, Ed Cheserek. The St. Benedict’s sophomore (!) ran an otherworldly 15:22 on Blair’s challenging course. Impressive indeed! But Scott hung in there for a second, running a fine PR for his home course. Mark Scully broke 17 minutes for the first time on this course, and Chris Miller, usually our second runner, caught a stitch but soldiered on for a critical 11th place finish. Evan Redos ran a PR, as did fifth man Sam Nashed. The margin for error was razor thin. Ted Peacock bested St. Benedict’s fifth man, and Greg Park was a solid seventh runner for the Bucs. The 17:07 team average was excellent, suggesting that the boys may dip well under that figure on the flat MAPL championship course on Sunday. We shall see. Many thanks to the parents, faculty, students and friends who came out to support the runners. It was a grand day on so many levels.”
