Hopatcong Runner Shines at Indoor Meet

No track team? No problem for 's Courtney Macaluso.

The junior shined at East Stroudsburg University High School Invitational Friday. Macaluso took second in the 200-meter dash in 27.1 seconds and tied for eighth in the 55-meter dash in 7.6 seconds.

Macaluso, also a soccer and spring track athlete, represented the Polar Bears Track Club of Fredon—a squad comprised mostly of Sussex County standouts. Area teams such as Pope John, Sussex Tech, North Warren and Newton also competed in the event.

Contact Bruce Wask at brucewask@nac.net for more information on the Polar Bears Track Club, which practices each day from 3:30 to 5 p.m. the Fredon Civic Center gymnasium and on Saturday mornings on area trails, said Carolyn Macaluso, Courtney's mother.
