WEEK IN REVIEW # 9: State Meet
2005
DIVISION
1 GIRLS: PADUA ACADEMY
The Pandas recorded
their 3rd consecutive championship, putting all 5 scorers in
the top 10, and scoring a dual meet winning 27 points . Jen
Watunya led the way all year and did again here.
Senior MaryKate McCaffery had a fine season and Frosh Morgan
Morrow emerged in the second half of the year to provide a
huge 2-3 punch. Senior Sam Lichtner survived injuries
to contribute in the big meets at the end and Frosh Meghan
Smith was solid all season. AI DuPont finished a fine
year with a solid second place here. The Kauffman
twins Aurora and Sophia were the foundation and were aided
greatly by the addition of freshman Amber Turner and the
emergence of soph Kelsy McCormick. However it was the
super race (22nd) by soph Camille Legge that enabled the
Tigers to hold off late charging St. Mark's in this one.
Maureen Stringham and Alison Zukowski led the Spartans to
third place with big help coming from 9th graders Devin
Sullivan, Heather Harrison and Kara Pollock.
Anna Brousell ended her great HS XC career with another
championship. Congratulations Anna and best of luck at
William & Mary.

BOYS DIVISION 1:
SALESIANUM SCHOOL
The Sals won their 32nd state championship in the last 36
years, the 15th under Coach Ralph Heiss. Dominic
DellaPelle was the individual champ while seniors James
Jennings, Danny Segars and Josh Hill (6th, 7th, 9th) came up
big in their last races. Junior Mike Curry in 13th
closed out the scoring. Drew Hoffman's runnerup
performance led St. Mark's to 2nd place overall with big
help from Nick Pyle who had a great year and sophs Mike
O'Brian and Tyler Rodgers along with seniors Greg Mionske,
Dan Traub and Scott Higgins. Andy Weaver led CSW to a
solid third. |
GIRL'S DIVISION
2: TATNALL SCHOOL
The Hornet girls squad had a season to remember, winning
their 3rd straight DII title and winding up the 3rd ranked
team in the Southeast in the Nike Team National standings.
A team effort all the way, Katie Kershner, Annie Castagno
and freshman Juliet Bottorff finished in a virtual tie for
the individual title. Joanie Castagno and Alex Clapp
weren't far behind as the team scored 23 points and set an
all-time margin of victory mark of 82 points over runnerup
Archmere. The Auks packed all their scorers between
15th and 31st place and edged out Tower Hill who were led by
first year runner Sydney Scott who finished 4th and Sara
Adelman (8th) and Anna Pike (11th). Julia Byrnes, Beth
Malseed and Erica Jackey paced the Auks. In an odd
note, 4th place St. Andrew's had 3 of their 7 runners DQ'ed
for wearing different uniforms and had to take a phantom
score for their 5th runner. |

BOYS
DIVISION 2: TATNALL SCHOOL
Tatnall's boys
made it a sweep, the first ever for one school. Brian
Sklodowski finished an outstanding campaign with another
victory and the Hornets put 6 guys in the top 13 to win
going away. Andrew Ruoss, Charlie Forbes, Mark Giblin,
Cuffie Winkler and Will Vinton (all seniors) went out in
style. Concord's return to prominence continued as the
Raiders got a much appreciated second. Chris Slate
(2nd individually) and Pierce Conlon along with Andrew Meyer
deserve praise for getting their school to their current
position. Joseph Feeley led little Red Lion Christian
to its best-ever finish (3rd) with an excellent 5th place
run while teammates. RLC's Josh Cushing also had a
fine season.
