400: 1. Gray (Southern) 50.03; 2. Brown (Pinelands); 3. Gilman (TR North) 50.62; 4. Cappello (Donovan) 51.28; 5. Pierson (Lacey) 51.56; 6. Brown (Jackson) 51.82; 7. Frye (Point Boro) 52.17; 8. Kwak (Point Beach) 52.33.
110 hurdles: 1. Mayers (Lakewood) 14.59; 2. Rutherford (TR East) 14.71; 3. Seddon (Southern) 15.19; 4. Terry (TR South) 15.60; 5. Stone (TR North) 15.67; 6. Hinetach (Jackson) 15.68; 7. Cintron (Barnegat) 15.74; 8. Ensor (Donovan) 15.76.
400 hurdles: 1. Mayers (Lakewood) 55.14; 2. Rutherford (TR East) 56.90; 3. Lucey (Central) 57.30; 4. Garay (Pinelands) 57.90; 5. Tarantino (TR North) 58.00; 6. Terry (TR South) 58.38; 7. Carney (Southern) 59.03; 8. Kelley (TR North) 59.11.
The 1,600 was the best race of the day, mostly because it was the only championship race of the day. The Jackson trio of Kris Carle, Ryan Fenimore, and Monroe Kearns were out in front for most of the race, with Fenimore leading most of the way. Brick Memorial's Andrew Brodeur came on strong in the end to break up the potential 1-2-3 finish and almost caught Carle in the final 200 meters. But Carle's last 400 was excellent, as he passed Fenimore and moved way out ahead of the pack before Brodeur made his move.
From the looks of things, the 100 and 200 should be interesting on Saturday. Andrew Dunbar of Manchester had a really nice showing in the 100, and probably would have run a little faster if he was in a more challenging heat. A.J. Gilman is going to be tough to beat in both of the short sprints. Based on his strong finish to the 100 and his 21.82 200 time, Gilman is great with head of steam, but might need to improve his start to win the 100.
Dunbar could pull off a nice little upset here. He's been running county-level times this year, but Dunbar himself was surprised to earn one- and two-seed in the two events. He even said he feels a little underrated in the grand scheme of things. Don't be surprised if he steals the 100.
In the feel-good department, Josh Pagan of Jackson Liberty cracked the finals of the 200 with a time of 11.51. The program has not yet reched official varsity status, but Pagan is officially on the Ocean County map as a sprinter.
Manny Mayers should cruise to two hurdles wins, but Chris Rutherford of TR East gave him a pretty good fight in the 110 hurdles. When Mayers runs, the look on his face looks more like that of a high school student trying to solve a math problem than an athlete pushing himself to victory. It just comes that easy to him.
I saw some of the high jump, and judging by the some of the early jumps I thought the top jump would be better than 6-2, but the wind picked up and jumps went down. Provaznik cleared 6-0 really easily, and it looked like 6-4 would not be a problem. But 6-2 presented more of a problem and he ended up clearing it on his last try before he and Stone missed on 6-4.
Vinnie Elardo out-threw Patrick Park of Toms River South and James Plummer of Central and is starting to feel a little better about his performance. A foot injury has limited him this year and while he says he doesn't feel as good as last year, the 170-3 he threw Wednesday is a season best.
Be back with more tomorrow from the Monmouth County Championships.

How does the defending champ plan on "stealing" the 100?
An 11.51 200?
Dunbar has been laying pretty low this year, and even though he's the defending champ, I think it's fair to say the field is much stronger this year an it will be harder for him to win. I don't think he has a chance in the 200 the way Gilman's been running, but Dunbar looks like a good bet in the 100. He's my pick, but up until this point, he hasn't been the best at the event over the course of this year.
what were the complete results from the ocean county relays at southern regional on 5/4 and there seems to be a new senior javelin thrower that is wining some meets
Good call on that 200.
anonymous post may 11:
there "seems" to be a jav thrower winning some meets. as in you dont know who it is? as in it isnt clearly you? dont kid yourself, trying to drop your own name. if you're that good, you're actions will speak louder than words. dont post on some blog asking for recognition.
