CBA, Shore Surrender Their Thrones
Colts Neck and Rumson-Fair Haven won their respective divisions Tuesday, but it wasn't so much that they won, but rather who they beat to do it.
Colts Neck handed CBA its first dual meet loss since 1996 and, according to Colts Neck coach Jim Schlentz, just the Colts second loss in the last 30 years. Not only did the Cougars beat the Colts, but they handled them fairly easily, winning 93-47. The win officially clinches a share of Class A North for Colts Neck, a division it joined this year.
Colts Neck took first in all but two events (100 and the 4x400 relay) and rode big performances from Craig Forys, Matt Sullivan, John Krewer, Evan Stivala, and just about everybody else. Forys won the 800, 1600, and 3200, Sullivan the 110 hurdles and the 200, Krewer shot put and discus (both school records), and Stivala the long and high jumps. Kevin Kelly added a 179-1 javelin throw, and Devin Moore broke a school record in the pole vault (12-1).
Schlentz also got a few nice surprises, going 1-2 in the 100 with Chris Jackson winning, Bill Burnham taking second in the 110 hurdles, Andrew Sobieski's school record 50.4 in the 400, Sullivan's 400 hurdles win, and sweeping the pole vault.
CBA started strong with Christian Yuskevich beating Matt Sullivan in the 400 hurdles, but Colts Neck grabbed the lead by going 1-2 in the 100 and never looked back.
Rumson, meanwhile, handed Shore its first division loss in five years, topping the Blue Devils 78-62.
Turns out Rumson's win at the Long Branch Relays was indicative of today's meet, with the Bulldogs getting in done in the hurdles and jumps, and with their overall depth in general.
More to come later and in tomorrow's paper.

Im sorry Matt but all of your facts concerning the cba meet contradict themselves. First You say colts neck lost the 100 and 4x400, but in the next line they won the 100 going 1-2, (but burnham is a 110h runner). In the first line you state colts neck won the 400h, but in the last paragraph they did not. Finally Sobieski from colts neck set a school record, however his teamate Sullivan won the 400 (shouldnt he have the school record?)Please get you facts right.
whoah a-hole post above me, chill your grill. the important thing is that CBA got dominated which clearly is the only thing that matters in that portion of the article.
the shore/rumson meet is where its at though. shore's had a stranglehold on class b central for like a half a decade--and now everyone can see that actually Shore is a terrible school full of terrible athletes. pure domination by RFH. taking home the division title this year.
well sir above me, maybe you didnt see the fact that cba has had a stronghold on their division for 11 year (77 straight duel meet wins). And cn, young school was about to take them down. I think that is more impressive. Secondly, there is no need to bash a school like shore, after you been them, Have Some Class.
i have to say, there really was no comment on the impressivness of cn's win. also, a victory dance is always in order--and what better place to hold such a dance then on shore's grave?
Post #1 - I apologize for the mistakes, and I've corrected them in the original post. I just wanted to get the results up on the blog and put in too much detail without checking it. I had to write the article for the paper, so I couldn't spend much time on that post. I don't think I have to reassure you that you're not an ah-hole for asking for accuracy.
#4 - Yeah I didn't provide much commentary, but you're right. It was a pretty comfy victory for the Cougars.
**a-hole. I guess I should proofread my comments too. I never thought part of my job would be editing the word "a-hole."
haha no problems, i was just a little confused, thanks for clarifying everything up. great article in the paper if that was you. (1st poster)
