Netters:
Here
is a quick report on today's Northeast regional Footlocker races at Van
Cortlandt Park. Weather was chilly and very dank, but there was no wind and
performances were generally very good with no real hot-shots in the two fields.
I mean, that is, nobody like Webb or Ritz.

Great day
for the home state with five qualifiers in each race, Can't remember when
anything like that has happened here before.
One of the more
interesting results in the class races came in the soph girls' race. Amanda
Trotter of Red Bank ran 2nd in 19:11, which would have olaced 22nd or 23rd in
the championship race. The catch is that this was her first race of the
season---she, like her two siblings and Katie Kingsbery, played soccer this
fall. It recalls when Katie's older brother, Walton, won the junior boys' race
two years ago off the soccer field, then switched sports the following year
(1999) and wound up winning the state Gr. III title and placing 2nd in the AG
race. Little chance, however, that this will happen with the three returning
"booters" next fall.
