Laura Vigilante (So. - 11:25.86) and Mike Franklin (Jr. -10:02.71) show their bling from Passarelli on 12/31/07.
Listen up. If you are competing anywhere in Morris county or even the tri-state area, in HS track and you run the 3200, you had better be able to beat Mendham's Dynamic Duo.
Run outside. Do a tractor pull. Pound creatine. Drink Raw eggs. Whatever. You can't fake it on the track...either ya got it or you don't...and if you run distance and want to be competitive, you had better have a work ethic that beats these two. And just to give you an idea...Vigilante lapped the whole field and was about 5 seconds shy of the record. So if you are a girl, you have you work cut out for you. By the way, Vigilante has two more seasons and Franklin will see you next year too, so have fun with that...
All of this, not mentioning the litany of other threats Mendham poses in the other events...
Of course, then, if you like to get smoked...the two cats below would be happy to add you to their list as well:
IN THE BLOCKS
Aeron Gilson 2nd from left (So.- Mount Olive); Steve Tamburello, second from right (Jr. - Mendham)
Aeron Gilson won the 55m (again) for the day with a time of 6.72 seconds, but I think that there are other threats in the area he hasn't encountered, that being said, who will it be to challenge him? It'll be tough, for sure.
Steve Tamburello, also depicted above in the 55m, holds Mendham's 55m Freshman record (6.80), beating the previous record holder, Andrew Schofield (currently of Michigan State), who had a time of 6.81. Tamburello also ran the 300m at the Passarelli, and finished in what looked like first, but was later DQ'd for a move to the inside lane in turn 5 (last) in which he rubbed shoulders with Yannick Jones (Union; 37.66) the eventual winner. What will Steve run at the IHC's on Friday?
All in all, it looks like coach Hamblen has been secretly assembling a threat to MoHills track dominance...I guess we'll see.

Valley Hal, nice to see you weighing on winter track!
Franklin seems like he is really making a name for himself. I guess he has been spending less time in the Ministry of Magic and more time practicing.
As for Vigilante...what can you say! There is nothing better than a frosh or a sophmore making a splash like that.
Speaking of which...I saw a bumper sticker yesterday up here in the land of loons..."Republicans for Voldemort '08". Dopes.
Vigilante is going to shatter some records before all is said and done.
Franklin will likely stay on top if he works hard...
Tamburello would have had at least 2nd place in the 300 had he not brushed shoulders with Jones...who I think might be a soccer player as well 'cause he "acted" out the foul like a soccer player trying to draw a red card.
...and of course Bella took the shot (again). You should do an interview on her.
athlete of the week or so forth
Between Bella, Savercool, Fick, Vigilante, Tamburello, and others, Mendham is stacked with talent...they should give 'Hills a run for their money.
I like the depth that Savercool gives them. I would like to see Mendham start to break away from the rest of the conference now.
heyyy unruly nice article.
but morris hills track...once again dominate..we won conference yesterday. which was our 5th straight.
Trex old chum, nice to see you! Congrats on your conference win yesterday!!!
