There were plenty of unknowns going into the LVC Girl’s event. The competition appeared to be wide open as the front runners often swapped positions in their meetings throughout the regular season. Add to that a lot of inexperienced top runners and you had a barnburner of an event. When the dust settled it was freshman sensation Colleen Daday of Central Catholic who handled the pressure and took home the top honors in a time of 19:30 at Bethlehem Municipal Golf Course. The youngster took control of the race early and cruised to a 23 second victory over fellow freshman Mikayla Stoudt of Parkland (19:53). Yet another freshman, Easton’s Diana Hammerstone, cracked the Top 5 (5th place, 20:03). The entire Top 5 was in fact all underclassmen, with Parkland’s Cara Moyer and Emmaus’ Hanna Brosky taking 3rd and 4th respectively. If you go all the way back to 11th place, you’d find another freshman in Dieruff’s Willow Childs. The trio of freshmen made the all league team as well.
The action on the boys’ race was a more clear cut. Sophomore stud Colin Abert of Easton was undefeated in the regular season and a big favorite. Although he didn’t start as well as he wanted, Colin finished with a comfortable 22 second victory over Northampton senior Alec Lederer (16:35 to 16:57). Another senior, Trevor Bergen of Parkland, was edged by Lederer in the final 400 meters and took home 3rd place (16:58).

Meet Feature by Phil Grove

It's an election year, so one might expect a little history from a convention-like gathering such as the Tri-State Coaches Association meet at Cooper's Lake.
Despite persistent rain showers that turned the course muddy brown by day's end, Grove City's Daniel Jaskowak and Shaler Area's Brianna Schwartz had performances ranking among the invitational's best ever, as did state-ranked North Allegheny and Mt. Lebanon in winning the boys' and girls' team titles, respectively. Gold Medal Decided in Final Meters  Jaskowak and Brent Kennedy of Kiski Area had slugged it out earlier this season at the Red, White & Blue Classic, but Thursday's showdown was unquestionably the winner by a landslide. Jaskowak and Kennedy, who was third here last year, were stride for stride heading into the final 250 meters as the 2011 state medalists both looked for their chance to lead last. As the duo reached the castle for the final sprint to the finish, Kennedy moved first with Jaskowak off his right shoulder.“I was kind of getting nervous,” said Jaskowak, who finished 13 seconds behind Kennedy at the Red, White & Blue Classic back on Sept. 8. “Brent was ahead of me going down the first part of (the final segment). I said, 'I gotta pick it up a little bit.' I thought I was gaining on him a couple of times, and he would pull ahead a little bit. I was glad (the final straightaway) was as long as it was. It was pretty long.” The Grove City senior covered the distance in 15:36, just a second ahead of Kennedy. Taylor Allderdice's Ean DiSilvio was third in 16:01, while Ethan Martin of Fox Chapel was next at 16:06.  Jaskowak, Kennedy and DiSilvio had led the field of nearly 600 through the first mile in 5:07 as the front group of nine was whittled down to the top three finishers as the runners pushed through the second mile. With DiSilvio trying to maintain contact, Jaskowak pulled away slightly on the downhill segments before Kennedy responded and closed the gap.“The week before he was concentrating on the kids that were going to be here,” Grove City coach Mike Sample said of his standout. “We're always looking for the competition. “The courses, in our opinion, are just a mind thing. It's the competition that you want to get out and do your best with. I knew he was eyeing up the competition and wanting to make sure that he could run his best against them.” Although his most recent race on the Cooper's Lake course was as a freshman in 2009, Jaskowak showed one doesn't have to know each turn to be able to turn heads with a performance. His winning effort was just off the meet record of 15:30 by McGuffey's Jeff Weiss in 2004. Weiss was a Foot Locker Finalist that year. “I thought there would be a little bit more of a surge from Brent toward the end like there was at Red, White & Blue,” Jaskowak said. “I was ready for it this time and was able to prevent that from happening.” Youthful Tigers, Blue Devils Back Up High Ranking North Allegheny's boys and Mt. Lebanon's girls have followed similar paths throughout the 2012 season. Both were No. 7 in the preseason state rankings, and both moved up the list with tight pack running and victories in large invitationals.  Both also feature rosters loaded with young, talented runners, with John Neff's PA#2 Tigers relying heavily on a core group of sophomores and the PA#3 Mt. Lebanon girls showing three freshmen and three juniors on Thursday's roster.With more than one runner occupying the No. 1 spot during the season, North Allegheny has turned in consistently low spreads for their 1-5 runners. The Tigers went one step better than their 17-second gap when they demolished the field in Pittsburgh. Only 16 ticks elapsed between senior Josh Zemet (16:11) in fifth and junior Cordon Louco (16:27) in 13th as sophomores Matt McGoey (8th, 16:17), Scott Seel (11th, 16:22) and Seamus Love (12th, 16:23) were in between. The end result was a title-winning 49 points for North Allegheny. “I'm really proud of those guys,” Neff said. “They did a heck of a nice job. They train together, they are the best of friends and they run together. They are almost like family.” Runner-up Mt. Lebanon finished with 139 points off a 1-5 spread of 20 seconds as senior Seamus Roddy led the Blue Devils at 16:40 in 19th. Mike Agostinella's squad needed just six more seconds to have all seven runners across the line. Central Catholic was third with 187, while Fox Chapel was fourth with 203. With Ethan Martin in fourth and Colin Martin 10th, the Foxes were the only team to have a pair of runners finish before North Allegheny's fifth crossed the line. “I like to keep it very practical on a day like today, say 'What you do today is going to help you next week (at WPIALs),” the North Allegheny coach said of his pre-race talk with his team. “That's it. You don't want to pickle that big speech until it's time.  “We've definitely counted backward from (the state meet on) November 3rd, that's for sure. So what we did yesterday, today and tomorrow, it has to do with November 3rd.”Mt. Lebanon's girls showed that they have the top runners and depth to factor in the final standings at Hershey. With their No. 5 runner finishing 23rd overall, the Blue Devils charted 54 points and topped runner-up North Allegheny (135). Junior Jillian Hunsberger and freshman Kelsey Potts paced the Blue Devils in third and fourth, while senior Julie Kocjancic was ninth. Freshman Madeleine Davison was sixth and junior Caroline Bojarski was 10th to lead North Allegheny, while fellow rookie Bernadette Prichard lifted Villa Maria PA#5 Class AA to third with 206 points. Sophomore Takes Measure of Field  A year ago, Shaler Area's Schwartz was a footnote to history, crossing the line fourth as the first finisher not wearing the red and white of North Hills nor named Malone as the sisters went 1-2-3. Any possible repeat win for North Hills or a Malone sister was squashed in the latter stages of the second mile.“It was a little muddy at some parts, but overall it was OK,” the winner said of the course conditions. “It was better than last year.” Mary Malone and Schwartz had broken away from Mt. Lebanon's lead pair of Hunsberger and Potts as the field began to head uphill again before taking a hard left away from the spectators lining the course. When the runners came back for their last pass across the base of the hill, Schwartz was alone in front and lengthening her lead en route to a superb winning effort of 18:10. “I felt really strong going up the hill and took the lead down the hill and pushed it,” she said.  Running a limited schedule this season, Schwartz's victory over 527 competitors comes on the heels of wins at Red, White & Blue and the Central Catholic Invitational, both in Pittsburgh's Schenley Park.“I was close to the course record so hopefully just try to challenge that,” she said of her goal for next week's WPIAL (District 7) championship meet back at Cooper's Lake, “and hopefully top 10 at states.” Mary Malone was the only other competitor under 6-minute pace with an 18:32, while Hunsberger and Potts followed at 18:40 and 18:46, respectively. “Yeah, I was (watching the clock),” the winner said. “I was really surprised. That helped me to sprint and finish strong.” Schwartz's time was not far from the record 17:58 by Greater Latrobe's Natalie Bower in 2008. |
