The girls posted a solid showing at the Morris Hills Relays this past Saturday, 4/17. The top team for the Ladies was the high jump who took 3rd in their event. Seniors Jacinta Ford and Gianna Pastena (4'10" each) teamed with soph Laura Goodfriend (4'3") to take the bronze. A 4th was turned in by the shot put trio (Britney Gulick, Jacinta Ford, Allissa Hoffman). 5ths were turned in by the 4 x 1600 (Casey Garcia, Bridget Phillips, Stephanie Smith, Val Zielinski), and the sprint medley (Ingrid Nimoh, Armani Blair, Camille Inglese, Val Zielinski).
The boys scored a modest 9 points but were minus many stars. The best performance of the day was from the 4 x 100 team of John Johnson, Jamal Davis, Kevin Lepore, and Cory Colligan, who ran the one-lapper in 44.93 and grabbed silver medals from out of the second heat. The boys 4 x 800 (Scott Rennalls, Chris Schneider, Chris Coyle, and Chris Orihuela) ran a respectable 8:24 to take 6th.

BOYS POST TWO MORE WINS
The boys team had its second meet of the season on Wednesday, 4/7, and beat both Montville and Morristown. The win against Morristown is the first ever in Mt. Olive's history.
Coach Sulley recalled, "Even the year we won the counties--1983--we lost to them in a dual meet. We had a great team that year that got third in Group 3. Paul Quitzau was state champ in both hurdle races and got third in the Golden West meet. We had a 210' jav thrower, a 9:31 3200 guy, a 1:58 800 man and another good hurdler who also jumped 6'6". It's pretty sweet finally beating them. First in my 29 years as boys coach."
That being said, the opening two NJAC meets in which M.O. has beaten four teams is a great start.
Senior captain Aeron Gilson won the 110H again (15.2) and the long jump, posting his season best 20'4". In his first effort at the 400H, he ran an amazing 55.8; only a handful of M.O. athletes have run faster, usually in championship meets later in the season.
Junior newcomer John Johnson continued hot in the sprints, winning the 100 (11.2) and 200 (23.5), and leading teammate Dan Maya across the line both times (11.2, 23.6) for a tough 1-2 finish against both opponents. Other overall firsts were scored by soph Scott Rennalls in the 400 (52.8), sr. Chris Orihuela in the 800 (2:05), sr. Chris Schneider in the 3200 (10:25), sr. Mike Shobitan in the high jump (5'2"), and jr. Paul Kramaritsch in the pole vault (12', P.R.). Against Montville, Jon Weiss (1600--4:40), jr. Jamal Davis (triple jump--37'8", P.R.), and the 4 x 400 of Rennalls, Maya, Orihuela, and sr. Chris Coyle took firsts.
In all, the boys swept a total of 5 times (1-2-3) and had 7 1-2 finishes.
The girls, at home, split a pair, beating Montville and being edged by Morristown. (Results to follow).
