Meet Of Champions: Bridgewater-Raritan High School Runners Compete

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Two Bridgewater-Raritan High School cross-country runners competed in the state Meet of Champions on Saturday at Holmdel Park.

Lukas Disko competed in the boys’ state championship race and Lorena David competed in the girls’ state meet with each placing at No. 42.

Disko, a sophomore, crossed at 16:46 among a field of 166 boy runners while David, a senior,
came in at 20:06 among 161 girl runners,

"Lorena crushed it at the Meet of Champions," Adam Pyle, the Bridgewater-Raritan girls’ cross-country coach said. "Her time of 20:06 was a 44-second improvement from when she raced
at Holmdel in the Shore Coaches meet back on Oct. 1. Not too shabby for her first cross-
country season."

The individual state boys’ champion was Rahway High School’s Micah Lawson, who cruised to
a time of 15:33, and the winner of the girls’ state race was Emma Zawatski of Freehold
Township High School, who crossed in 18:38.

The Meet of Champions team titles went to Christian Brothers Academy in the boys’ race and Union Catholic High School in the girls’ event.
