N. Rockland bounces back; Arlington and Calhoun impress at Coaches Invite

PAWLING – North Rockland’s Barry Baloga is good for a speech and the best words should always been well-timed. Through coincidence and calamity, North Rockland has yet to be the team it expected to be this season. Baloga knew it was time to tell them so.

So one day last week, he stopped practice.

“I had to point out some things,” the coach said, choosing his words carefully. “There was a demand for leadership in the last couple of weeks. We look to our seniors for leadership. So I told the seniors that they were going to have to lead this team.”

He said things were quiet for a few days. Tension has a way of drowning things out. But the Red Raiders showed some aggression Saturday at the Section 1 Coaches Invitational. They put five in the top 10 through the first mile. The team mostly fell off that pace but handled the field in Varsity 3 with 80 points.

“Every week it was something different, an injury, a missed practice, a missed race,” said senior James Naglieri, who finished second in 16:19.82. “It was good to have everyone here and running.

Tim Mendez finished 12th for North Rockland in 17:09.59 while Nick Bien-Aime was 13th in 17:11.48. Francis Kelly placed 21st in 17:28.37. Alex Andre, back after missing the Manhattan Invitational, struggled after the quick start and finished 39th.  Brett Bernard, who was expected to be in the top five but has struggled with injury all season, made his season debut in a junior varsity race. Baloga was still encouraged by what he saw.

“Coming into the day, I knew we would really go after it but it would be a tune up for the next couple of weeks,” he said. “I really liked the way that Naglieri responded today. Nick Bien-Aime has been consistent and Francis Kelly saved us in the back end.”

Washingtonville’s Martin Hehir won the individual race in 16:13.22. He shook free of Naglieri on the hill and the gap turned out to be the difference in the race.

“I wanted to go after it,” Naglieri said. “The hill really got to me. I tried to keep the same distance behind him. I wanted him to have to work for it. I could see myself getting closer toward the end but he had it.”

North Rockland’s section rival, Arlington, won the Varsity 4 race easily with 25 points. Somers finished second in 54. But Arlington put its top seven runners in the top 19 places. Eddie Merenda , Sibby Hanson and Chris Wise went 2-3-4 for the Admirals. They all described the race as slow.

“I thought we had a job to do and we did it,” Arlington coach Steve Arnett said. “They’re young. They’re learning. They did fine. We have one senior in the top seven. If they would have run this race next year then I would be upset.”

Arlington suffered after going out too hard at the Green Mountain Lake Invitational last month. This time, Merenda admitted that when Packer Collegiate’s Eddie Owens stormed off the start line that he let Owens go without a fight.

“I didn’t’ know who he was,” Merenda said. “If I knew that was Eddie Owens I would have went with him. I thought he made a mistake. I guess I made a mistake.”

Owens ripped through the course like a whirlwind kept running after the finish line like he had just demolished a training run. He clocked the fastest time of the day as the only runner to break 16 minutes. Owens finished in 15:58.26.

The only other person that showed that kind of aggression was Westbury’s Owen Skeete. True to form, Skeete blasted off the starting line and because Skeete has a reputation for fast starts, Calhoun’s James Panetta and Tim Campbell waited for Skeete to break down. But he didn’t.

Skeete won in 16:28.67. But Calhoun won the team title, led by Panetta (16:31.34) and Campbell (16:45.54), who finished second and third, respectively.  Calhoun, ranked 15th in Class AA, was the best team of the day according to the merged results. The team will likely move into the top 10 after this week.

They put five in the top 12. Brendan Abrams finished 10th in 17:18.37 with Nick Macaluso 11th in 17:18.79 and Casey Bader 13th in 17:23.11.

“I think we did really well,” Panetta said. “The hill here isn’t as bad as Cardiac (at Sunken Meadow Park). We just tried to make our moves together.”

Pearl River won its second straight invitational race. The Pirates won Varsity 2 with 96 points, led by Tom Lappas finishing seventh in 16:54.13.

“Winning Manhattan was a big confidence boost for us,” Lappas said. “Coming into the season we thought we would have a solid team but we didn’t know we’d be this good.”

Boys cross country: North Rockland follows Naglieri's lead

By Rob Cristino • rcristino@lohud.com • October 24, 2010

PAWLING — In what was considered a stacked boys cross country Varsity III race, powerhouse North Rockland claimed first place at the Section 1 Coaches Invitational on Saturday with 80 points.

North Rockland's No. 1 runner, senior James Naglieri, set the pace for his teammates, finishing second with a time of 16 minutes, 19.82 seconds.

Despite the fact the Red Raiders had only practiced at the Pawling course this year and hadn't run a competitive race on it, the dreaded hill couldn't stop the Red Raiders from attaining a team victory.

"The race is a completely different animal from practice," Naglieri said. "We wanted to come in and get a win out of this race. We've had a rough start to the season and it's getting close to the championships so this is the race where we wanted to put everything else behind us and focus on this. I think we did a good job handling it."

Martin Hehir of Washingtonville won the race in 16:13.22.

"Martin is one of the best runners in the state, so I just wanted to stay with him and it worked out well," Naglieri said.

Red Raiders seniors Timothy Mendez and Nick Bien-Aime finished 12th and 13th, respectively.

"Our plan was to stay together as a pack, so we could close the gap from one through five," Mendez said. "We got tired on that hill, but picked it up in the end. It was a good race."

Brewster's Charlie Carr started out slowly in the Varsity III race, but was able to use the hill to his advantage to finish sixth.

"I passed a few kids on the incline and then passed a few more on the decline," Carr said. "With a great race I probably could've gone second or third. That's what I was hoping for, so I'm not happy with what I got, but I'm not mad, either."

Suffern's Tyler Frigge finished fifth in Varsity III in 16:35.

In the final race of the day, Somers placed second in Varsity IV with 54 points.

Somers senior Charles Conway finished ninth, while junior David Sammel took 11th and senior Issac Shelby was 14th. The Tuskers had six finishers in the top 25.

With some tough competition in Varsity II, Eastchester's Victor Palumbo placed second with a time of 16:37.57. Dobbs Ferry's Brendan Wortner finished a close third (16:40.26). Pearl River placed first with 56 points in Varsity II and was led by Tommy Lappas' seventh-place finish
