Change of Plans

Due to technical difficulties, we'll have to settle for a brief recap of the days events, rather than the Live Blog.

It was a banner day for area hurlders Manny Mayers and Darren Cunningham, both of whom won group championships in the 110 hurdles. Cunningham won Group I in 14.70, while Mayers cruised to a 14.04 time in Group III.

George Galasso could not run down Dennie Waite in the 1600 on Friday, but Holmdel's super sophomore beat the field in the 3200 with a time of 9:20.63.

Dan Hitman won the javelin despite only completing one throw. He hit 181-5 on his first attempt and did not record a distance the rest of the way, but he made his one throw count.

After a frustrating Friday, Charles Cox stepped up for Monmouth by winning the 200 in 21.42 and holding off Antonio Abney in the 4x400 relay to secure a first-place finish for his relay team and give the Monmouth four the new Shore Conference record at 3:15.04.

Monmouth is tied with Morris Hills 45-45 after 15 events with the results of the pole vault pending, but since Morris Hills had no entrants and Brian Leung was not in the finals for Monmouth, the tie appears to be a finality.

Down in Egg Harbor Twp., Marcus Goode broke Mayers' short-lived triple jump record by jumping 46-10 3/4. Unfortunately for Goode, Trenton's Devon Bond set a state record by jumping over 50 feet, and Goode settled for second.
