DELCO CHAMPS 2013 PREVIEW
by Coach Bill Coren(Strath Haven) DELCO CHAMPS!! Sponsored by the DELCO RRC---SATURDAY 10-12-2013 Rose Tree Park 39th year!!! BOYS NOVICE 2:00 GIRLS JV 2:30 BOYS JV 3:00 GIRLS V 3:30 BOYS V 4:00 GIRLS TEAM PREVIEW The 2013 race appears to have only 2 teams that will climb 2-Mile hill in an effort to become the DELCO CHAMPS. STRATH HAVEN(ranked PA #9) was the Champion in 2011 and 2012. They also won in 2007 and 2008. In 2012 STRATH HAVEN only beat OHARA by 6 points and 2013 looks like another close battle!! OHARA 's last win was 2004, but they are truly underrated so far this year! They also added a new coach(to go along with the best married coaching team around) who brings with him experience and is a strong motivational leader! Both teams were going to match up at PAUL SHORT but the HEAT got the best of everyone!!!! Each of these teams could have all 7 of their Varsity runners in the top 20!!?? If either of those teams falter, HAVERFORD is next in line(They were 10-1 in the Central League). INDIVIDUAL PREVIEW The top 3 runners last year at DELCOS were all Seniors, so this year's individual champion race is wide open!! There is truly no favorite---There are 8 girls--that's right 8!!! who can win the coveted DELCO crown! The TOP 7 girls are likely to make 1st team DELAWARE COUNTY DAILY TIMES ALL-DELCO. GARNET VALLEY, HAVERFORD, SPRINGFIELD, OHARA and STRATH HAVEN all would love to see one of their top girls win this yearly DELCO competition. OHARA's top 2 are Mancini(10)(4th 2012) and Kelly(12)(15th 2011-6th 2012). Both have run in the 18's this season and Kelly has shown she is able to handle her 2 sports in the same season(XC and Hockey). GARNET VALLEY's McGroarty(12)(16th 2011-7th 2012) has been steady this season and was the 2013 DELCO 800 Champion last spring. HAVERFORD's Naser(12)(14th 2011-10th 2012) recently ran twice in the 18's on her home course and has held her own against other Central League #1's. She has only run 1 Invitational so far this season, and she ran awesome at Abington in early September. SPRINGFIELD's Galligan(12)(12th 2011) has overcome some tough injuries throughout her running career, but has been making major strides this season. Galligan is a tough competitor and could have the race of her life again(1600 as a soph) and wear the DELCO crown. STRATH HAVEN has 3 girls with a chance. Mesyngier(10)(12th 2012), Kennedy(12)(JV 15th 2012), and Wilson(12)(competing in soccer as well)(2013 1600 DELCO champion) all have a good shot to be with the leaders after the final horseshoe. Kennedy's improvement has been unreal and Mesyngier has shown glimpses of becoming a champion. BOYS TEAM PREVIEW OHARA! OHARA! OHARA!---Last year's team victory at DELCOS was unbelievable! Their Top 5 finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th after finishing 1st, 3rd,4th, 5th, and 6th the year before, and 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th in 2010!!!!!!. Historically, OHARA has dominated the DELCO XC CHAMPS. Coach Tom Kennedy's harriers have been FIRST 10 of the last 15 years!! This year OHARA is ranked #3 in PENNSYLVANIA(they are looking to win the BIG ONE--STATES--after finishing 2nd two years in a row)(In 2012 believe it or not they lost based on their 6th man as they tied West Chester Henderson when comparing each team's top 5). No DELCO team is even close to them this year. OHARA will make more TEAM HISTORY this Saturday!!!!!!! At least there may be a TEAM race for 2nd!? PENNCREST looks to be 2nd best with RADNOR, and HAVERFORD having a chance. INDIVIDUAL PREVIEW Lets look at some more HISTORY. An OHARA runner has been the DELCO Champ 9 of the last 13 years(including 2012). This year will likely be no different!! James(11)(2nd 2012) is the odds-on favorite(1st at Bulldog, 2nd at Briarwood and 7th in the strong Great American), James is the class of the DELCO field. A number of runners will try to capture the runner-up spot. Among them are OHARA's Belfato(12)(9th 2012) and Morro(10)(1st Novice 2012), PENNCREST's Kazanjian brothers Chris(12)(8th 2012) and Matt(12)(15th 2012), RADNOR's Holm(11)(18th 2012) and Hanson(12)(17th 2012) and HAVERFORD's Fowler(12)(5th 2012). |

On the boys' side, Carrick's Zackary Wierzchowski went to the front right after the starter's gun and staved off challenges from Perry's Christian Cook for the wire-to-wire victory. The junior's winning time was 17:47.88, while Cook needed 18:04.59 to complete the 3.1-mile course. The next four spots were occupied by Wierzchowski's sophomore teammates -- Josh Walters (18:39.59), Robert Warnock (19:00.70), Julian Jester (19:20.79) and Cody Kirk (19:29.71) -- as the Raiders were credited with 19 points. Obama had 64, while Brashear finished with 86. |
