Sr. Jacinta Ford became a Morris County Champ by winning the triple jump at the Morris County Track and Field Championships, 5/11-12, at Boonton H.S. Her winning leap was 35' 6", just short of her school record 35" 11 1/2" the week before. She also took 3rd in the long jump at 16' 9". Soph Armani Blair continued to shine in the sprints with a 3rd in the 200 (26.27) and 4th in the 100 (12.9). She ran a leg on the 4 x 400, which placed 6th in 4:11, with Sam Tavalare, Marissa Karl, and Ingrid Nimoh. Sr. Gianna Pastena took 3rd in the high jump at 5' and jr. Alissa Hoffman threw the jav 107' 2" for 4th. Aeron Gilson wins his semi in the 200.
Aeron Gilson opened the meet for the boys, nearly stealing the 400H from Steve Vitale of Randolph. His 54.75 was another outstanding race in his 4th try at the event. He placed 1st in his heat in the 200 in 22.62, leading all qualifiers and then jumped 20' 9" in the long jump to qualify for the finals. A knotted hamstring turned into a strain and Gilson had to withdraw from competition for the remainder of the meet.
Juniors Dan Maya and John Johnson stepped in to fill the gap by going 2-3 in the 100 and 3-5 in the 200. They clocked automatic-timed p.r.'s of 11.27/22.80 and 11.43/23.07. Johnson then subbed in for Gilson on the relay and clocked 52.4.
In the distances, sr. Chris Schneider broke through with another p.r. in the 3200, running 9 sec. faster than last week to run 9:41.70. This followed his 9th place p.r. of 4:26.97 in the 1600, just ahead of teammated Jon Weiss, who ran a p.r. 4:28.01.
In the field, Chris Victoria just missed the disc finals, placing 9th with 130'. Paul Kramaritsch tied for 6th in the pole vault.
