5 factors to watch at Skyland Conference Track and Field Championship

Posted: May 8, 2017 | Entry Type: Post

Deploying North Hunterdon’s girls distance assets. The Lion girls have such talent and depth in the distance races that it becomes a fascinating guessing game as to where Anna DiMarcello, Elena DiMarcello, Kelley McCarten, and their friends will pop up. Since North coach Sean Walsh doesn’t show his hand much in the first part of the season – you will look in vain for individual results from his top runners and when asked about it he tends to smile and say very little – we’ll find out when, as they say, when we find out. We suspect it will be worth the wait.
