Both Heights teams dominated so much that they practically won every event. The Aviators 1600 relay teams won both the boys and girls events.
Rebecca Fortoul and Roland Gamez led the way with three first place finishes each. Fortoul made it a clean sweep in the distance races, 800, 1600 and 3200 meters while Gamez captured first in the 110 meter hurdles, high jump and long jump.

For Gamez one of the best wins came in the 110 hurdles where he defeated rival, Sean Porteus of Wood-Ridge, 15.10 to 15.30. "We are friends off the track, but we are rivals on the track," said Gamez about defeating Porteus. "We pushed each other in the race."
Both are expected to be battling again for first in the event this weekend at the Bergen County Group Meet in Old Tappan.
In addition four other Aviators doubled up on first place finishes: Anthony Seidel (javelin and discus); Brandon Lomuti (100 and 200 meter dash); Irene Cedano (discus and the shot put) and Alex Sisco (800 meter run and pole vault).
Both the girls and boys will be looking to repeat as Bergen County Group D champions this weekend with the stiffest competition coming from Waldwick on the girls side and Emerson on the boys side.
The results are listed below.

Heights won four of the five matches in two straight sets.
The lone three-set match came at first singles as the Aviators Chris Sciancalepore came back from being down one set to defeat Westwood's Jake Levesque, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
Both second and third singles players, Giovanni Lombardi and Adam Patrovics easily won their matches in straight sets.

Callen finished in seventh in a girls tournament with a nine-hole score of 52.

Baseball
Hasbrouck Heights dropped to 11-10 on the season at the state cutoff last Friday after being nipped 3-2 at Hawthorne on Friday.
Despite losing back-to-back games last week, the Aviators are only a couple of wins from matching the 13 victories for last season with a couple of weeks remaining in the 2012 year.
In the loss to the Bears on Friday, Robert Klenk and Shawn Waldron registered a RBI each in the second inning to tie the game at two.
Hawthorne though came back with a run in the bottom of the fourth but could not get the equalizer. Aviators pitcher Joe Crabbe pitched well, but took the loss.
Hasbrouck Heights dropped to 11-9 on the season at Elmwood Park in a 6-2 loss to the Crusaders.
The game was tied at two heading into the fourth inning, but could not generate any more offense off Elmwood Park's Shiv Patel.
Aviators Gabe Toledo and Mike Pasqualone generated a RBI each. One of the Heights top pitchers this season, Ray Espinosa, took the loss.
On May 9, Waldron shut down Saddle Brook on the mound as the Aviators defeated Saddle Brook, 2-1. Waldron only needed a RBI from Crabbe and Toledo to collect the NJIC Meadowlands B win at Depken Field.
Softball
Hasbrouck Heights bolstered its seeding in the state tournament with a 7-2 win at Hawthorne.
Aviators pitcher Julie Sheridan, who threw a no-hitter earlier in the week, scattered eight Lady Bears hits to garner the win. Heights Diana Torres led the Aviators softball team with a double and two RBI. With the win on Friday Heights was 11-9 heading at the state tournament cutoff deadline.
The 11 victories have already surpassed the win total (10) for the entire 2011 season.
On May 8 Sheridan was on fire with a complete-game no-hitter at North Arlington in the 5-0 victory over the Vikings. The senior hurler struck out nine and walked only one batter.
In the win Carolyn Clites collected three RBI while both Jordyn Anderson and Daniella Castellanos added a RBI each in the NJIC Meadowlands crossover contest.
