The Haddonfield boys cross country team had a triumphant return to the Bowdoin XC Classic race in Wappinger Falls, NY on September 27th, placing first in the Varsity 1 race against 24 teams from New York and New Jersey. Greg Pelose led the Bulldogs, finishing 5th overall, followed by Chad Evans in 10th, Danny Brennan in 12th, Colin Gallagher in 13th, and Austin Stoner in 15th. Haddonfield’s 55 total team points placed them ahead of second place finisher Mount Academy (NY) with 62 points, and New Jersey rivals South Brunswick (95 points) and Westfield (106 points).
Haddonfield’s pack style of running served them well, with only 30 seconds separated their first through fifth place runners. Sixth man Chris Goings finished 34th overall, and Brandon Quanci rounded out the Haddonfield varsity runners in 38th place.
In the JV race, Blake Barr and Gavin Schmeck finished strong for the Bulldogs in 24th and 25th positions, followed by Jack Wood (117th) and Jimmy Peterman (135th).
