HISTORIC SWEEP!
Boys Shock Favorites for Title, Girls Trounce Rivals to Complete Season Comeback; Cougars Earn Double-Double

With two individual victories apiece, Michael Hoffman (10) and Matt Keeble (10) provided a foundation of points upon which the rest of their teammates built the Cougars' title bid at the 2010 edition of the DFAL Championships.

Hoffman moved late in the 100m event to win by less than a tenth of a second before dominating the field in the 200m with a wire to wire effort that moves him to fourth all-time on the Campolindo record board.

Keeble didn't disappoint as the top seed in both hurdle events, winning handily while recently improving teammate Andrew Wang (10) scored additional points is each. In fact, the Cougars benefited from several "dynamic duos," including a one-two finish in the 3200m by Dylan Laucher (11) and Doug Chudler (10), a first and third place in the vault from Alex Kalish (10) and Andres DelValle (12), and top six finishes in both throwing events for Griffin Brumbaugh (11) and Amir Hakimjavadi (11)!

All together, the varsity boys' squad earned 141 points to outdistance league rivals of Miramonte by 43 and claim a share of the 2010 DFAL season crown. The victory also finished up an unprecedented accomplishment in league history, giving the Cougars a sweep of all four divisional titles.

The historic sweep was set up just moments earlier as the varsity girls' distance squad wrapped up their teams' championship effort with a swarming of the scoring positions in the 3200m. Already having run record book paces in both the 1600m and 800m, Grace Orders (11) rolled to victory in an impressive 11:11.67. A sub five minute 1600m effort, and sub 2:20 performance in the 800m seemed to have little impact on Carrie Verdon (12), who finished on Orders' heels to help accumulate 24 points from the single event.

The girls' team point total was also weighted by a second through fifth place clustering of discus marks for the Cougars. Runner-up Eva Isaacs (10) was backed up by impressive season bests from Margaret Macy (12), Mary Vaccaro (11) and Michelle Dokos (10).

The busiest athlete of the competition however, may have been freshman phenom Hadley Swanson (13), who scored in four different events, accounting for 30 points all by herself, including a 400m finish good enough for third on the all-time list!
