Philadelphia Catholic League Division Championships R Boys summary Joseph Wolff In the Northern Div which was dominated by LaSalle, Tom Kehl from Judge took the race out very quickly running the 1st mile in 4:50 – he was followed by LaSalle’s top 5-6 runners and Chris Muldoon from Wood at 4:55 – 5:03. That group of 8 runners distanced themselves from the field in the very difficult section of the course (Parachute Hill ) the inside loop at Belmont Plateau. As they came out of the woods, Kehl looked like the early pace was getting to him as he ran up the last hill with about 1K left to go. LaSalle also came out looking tired with 5 runners within 20 seconds and their 6th man just off the pace. The results speak for themselves. If LaSalle runs like that at Manhattan they would have been a lot more competitive... probably in the top 5 -7 teams.
