St Joseph by-the-Sea Track & Field  

1/20 - Staten Island Champs - Armory
St. Joe's battles valiantly throughout the meet and leaves the Armory with a well deserved, hard fought 2nd place plaque.  Heading
into the relays, 5 teams were within 4 points of 2nd place.  Dave Balzer earns the meets "Outstanding Track Performer Award" for
his stunning victory in the 1,000 and 2nd in the 600.  Dan Zaccariello lowers his own soph record in an exciting 1600 meter run. 
The 4x400 Relay of Sean O'Shaughnessy, Nick Italiano, Chris Roberts and Mike Baio are "Island Champions!"  Mike Baio runs
 a gutsy last leg to lock down the championship.  The 4x200 seals 2nd place with some solid times.  Paul Brancale runs a great
 3,200 and snaps the frosh record.  Frosh Chris Murphy and Vin Aceto step up onto varsity relays and perform very well.  Joe
Tufano PR's in the LJ & TJ and score in both.
