MO SCHOOL RECORDS '09
The assault on the MO record book continued this spring.
After rumors of vaults over 10' in practice swept through Mt. Olive track circles, Ashley Tomasula claimed the record at 9'6" at the Morris Hills Relays. She was stopped from higher clearances by an injury at 10'.
Kevin Persson finally made good on his objective of taking the 400 m record. He ran a 49.11 at the State Sectionals to earn a spot on the record board.
Aeron Gilson took down yet another class record earlier in the season when he ran the 100 in 10.7.
Persson and Gilson teamed with Codi Merritt and Peter Bonanno to earn records in the 4 x 100 in 43.60 and 4 x 200 in 1:29.57.
Chris Victoria also erased the old soph disc record with a 120'11".
One of the sweetest records set this year was by the amazing quartet of Armani Blair, Camille Inglese, Ingrid Nimoh, and Megan McCann who vaporized the Sprint Medley record when they won the County relay title in that event in 4:11.34.

Outdoor Season Highlights
Outstanding end of season results for M.O. Boys & Girls Tracksters!
The boys and girls outdoor track and field teams ended their seasons at South Plainfield on Friday and Saturday, May 29 & 30.
Senior Megan McCann ended her high school career in great fashion with two huge personal bests. In the 1600 she smashed her best by running a 5:10.98 and placing 11th overall in the toughest competition of all the groups. The next morning she did one place better, taking 10th in the 800 in 2:17.44. She sat back to wait out the weekend to see if she could possibly have made it into the Meet of Champs on a wild card, but, unfortunately, there were just enough fast times to keep her out of the final big one. Megan's times are among the best ever recorded in the distances for the Lady Marauders.
Megan's crown as MO D Queen perhaps was passed on to soph Casey Garcia that day, who shocked everyone with her 11:23.70 8th-place finish in the 3200. Casey's times have come down dramatically at the end of the season as she stepped in to try the longer event seriously at the County Meet several weeks before. This time is also among the fastest ever run for the Marauderettes.
The biggest news, though, for the girls was Jacinta Ford, who placed 6th in the long jump, at 16' 3.5". This qualified her for the Meet of Champs.
On the boys side, individual qualifiers Kevin Persson and Aeron Gilson sat out the 400 to run the 4 x 400 relay. They didn't disappoint, as they teamed with Codi Merritt and Peter Bonanno to once again record a stellar time and finish--3:21.18 for 3rd place. This is the second fastest time in M.O. boys track history. Both Persson and Gilson ran on last year's 3:20.1 team that took 8th in the MOC. Kejabu Bullock competed in the triple jump, placing 13th in 41'2".
