Folks sorry for the late post, but I think it warrants mentioning that the IHC-HILLS has a new North 2 Group II State Sectional Champion:
Mendham High School Boys Track. If I am not mistaken, I think this is the first team title in MHS winter track history.
You can read about the detailed performances here and a nice Kuty art here.
Mendham's placers:
55m - Steve Tamburello (2nd) who missed first by .01 seconds.
Joe Riposta (6th).
400m - Jack Robinson (3rd).
800m - Thomas Kearny (6th).
1600m - Mike Franklin (2nd).
James Frick (3rd).
3200m - Mike Franklin (1st).
Jon Riley (4th).
55m Hurdles - Matt Mendonca (5th).
4 x 400m - Mendham (3rd) (Robinson, Tamburello, Mendonca, and Ian Mead).
Boys, Congrats on your first Title; I expect at least another one next year as there are only 2 seniors on your team.
Now, about that Group II overall...kick it.

I recognize some of these names from the gridiron.
Yeah, I heard Mike Franklin will be returning kicks for the Minutemen!
Just joking! Kudos to the track team.
With that speed, I am expecting some special teams touchdowns next year by Tamburello. I think Riposta could be one of the best RB's in the league.
I don't think Franklin would like FB very much. Besides he's like an all-state XC runner already anyway and playing FB would Conflict with a repeat next season!
Special teams TD's are possible from the T-Rocket. Maybe some INTs for TDs. We'll see.
Of note though is that Mendham's 1000yd+, All-Daily Record rusher (Joe Riposta) has become EVEN FASTER. If he packs on some size too, I would hate to be playing opposing "D" in the IHC hills.
Mendham's arsenal of offensive weaponry just keeps expanding...
Too bad MoHills has no FB players on the Track team... :(
