BOYS NJAC NATIONAL CHAMPS

The boys team completed an undefeated season last Wednesday, 4/21, by beating Mendham and Morris Hills at Mendham. The greatest effort of the meet was junior Dan Maya, who won the 100, 200, 400 (p.r. of 52.3), and anchored the 4 x 400 in a 52 split to 3:33.5. Classmate John Johnson backed him up with a 2nd in the dashes and a 2nd in the 110H. Aeron Gilson won the opening 400H but then crashed to the track in the 110H. Though limping and wrapped up, Gilson went over to the long jump and leaped 20'10" to give the Marauders a 1-2 (Jamal Davis was leading till Gilson's jump). MO won every track event against M.H. except the 110H. Morris Hills had been undefeated coming in and looking to extend their 9-year win streak. Other wins were recorded by Scott Rennalls in the 800 and Chris Schneider in the 3200 in a p.r. 10:01. The biggest upset of the meet was Howard Thiele, who won the jav with a toss of 146' after just picking it up not long ago.
The boys won the inaugural NJAC National Division regular season title, their first conference title since the 1990's.
