Cristrina's exciting come from behind win in the first event sent chills up my spine.  I did the same thing in the same event in the spring of 1966!  Ridgewood  had a balanced attack today, scoring in the hurdles, sprints, throws and the vault!  We are leading the team score after Friday's competition.

We started the day with first and third in the  100 hurdles and let everyone know that it was our meet.  Cristina's 3rd in the TJ put us 18 up going into the relay.  With the State Sectional win guaranteed the fired up relay went out and ran the fastest RHS time in 18 years!  The college paper credited my win in the intermediates vs Villanova 40 years ago with inspiring the Penn State team to a win over our archrival.  Cristina's performance over the two days was equally dramatic:  20 individual points and a relay anchor!

This is RHS's 9th State Sectional win.  We have the most of any program in North Jersey.  No one else wins more than us!
