B10 Daily Record. Northwest N.J. Friday, May 3, 1985 SCHOLASTIC REPORT jai relay iraef yooi7 LsroDTiBTio nope more than one team from a school in an event, favors the large schools. Nobody is more aware of that than Barnicle and he has his troops geared to do well where two teams can score. "The distance medley should give a good indication of how well we will do in the meet," Barnicle said.

"We have two teams that should break 11 minutes in the race. I hope we can get as many points as Morris Hills does in that event." Looking at his own strengths, Barnicle knows where the Colonials have to do well. "It probably will boil down to how well we do in the jumps versus how well Morris Hills does on the track How well the Colonials do in the jumps should depend on the performances of long and high jumper Ken Sally and pole vaulter Grant Golden, a pair of seniors. The Colonials will also get good points in the sprints, where Barnicle's team will be out to lower their own county 4 100 mark of 43.2, which they have already lowered three times this month. By WAYNE GRAHAM Daily Record Staff Writer HANOVER TWP.

The championship meet season starts for most Morris County track teams tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. when Whippany Park hosts the 41st annual Morris County Relays. Two of the area's most successful athletes will be making their final appearance in this meet with the same goal. Randolph's Tanya Smolin has helped her Ram teammates win the last three girls county relay titles. Fred Bronner of Morris Hills will be looking to guide his team to a second consecutive crown.

The school most likely to pre vent Randolph from winning the girls title, or Morris Hills from winning the boys crown, will be Morristown. The boys of coach John Barnicle have done well in recent seasons, winning two of the last three crowns. Morris-town was also the last school to win a girls title before Randolph. A meet like the county relays, which includes 16 events and allows In looking at the order of events, Barnicle is also quick to point out that he may get some help from the schedule. "Jack's (Morris Hills coach O'Leary) strong events all come close together," said Barnicle, a close friend of O'Leary's.

"He will have good teams in the intermediate hurdles, 4 800, sprint medley and 4 1,600, but how fresh can they be?" With the Scarlet Knights' strength in the 800, chances are that Bronner will be used in the sprint medley, 4 400 and one other event. Randolph, Mount Olive, Morris Catholic and Hanover Park are among the teams which can make it tough on the top teams by going strong in a few events Morristown girls coach Ray Korver has one of Morris County's strongest distance teams, which is a place where Randolph's Smolin can't hurt them. The Colonials have one of the state's best 4 800 teams and is also strong in both distance medley and sprint medley. Korver will get a lot of mileage out of Sarah Gray, Ka-thy Fitzpatrick, Lara Iden and Dan Daily RecordSTAN GODLEWSKI Scott Pickering of Delbarton has this high jump cleared.

Randolph coach Len Pietrewicz, whose team has put together a 34-dual meet win streak over the past four years, will use Smolin in the high and long jumps and two running events. Being a student of statistics, Pietrewicz is quick to point out the position his team is in. "I don't know if I have enough girls to cover all the events like Morristown can." Boonton, Morris Hills, Madison, Morris Catholic and Dover can affect the girls events if they go after an event title. The Morris Hills, Boonton and Dover throwers should challenge the Celeste Rucki-led Randolph throwers.

Madison has strengths in the sprints and hurdles, led by the Baten sisters, Joyce and Kim, and Morris Catholic is strong in the middle distances and sprints.

"It can be a real showcase for wrestling," Vittorio said. "We're bringing in all the former state champs from Morris County and having special introductions. I really want to do it up, make it more of a festive thing." If there was an MCT this past season, who would you pick at 115 between Mike McHugh of Morris Hills, Dave Brancato of Pequannock and James Egan of Parsippany Hills? Imagine Tim Hennessey of Jefferson squaring off with Dover's Wayne Stevenson at 108.

How about another battle at 170 between Morris Hills' Bill Young and West Morris' Mark Wide Mock tread dives Outstand- 2 The years of delay appear to have ended. What wrestling people have wanted, they're finally getting. The inaugural Morris County Tournament has received approval from the athletic directors' association and will be held Feb. 14-15, 1986, at Rox-bury High School. Morris becomes another of the many New Jersey counties that stage similar championship tournaments.

Morris County's tradition for outstanding wrestling should furnish some great rivalries. But with Gary Vittorio, the recently retired Parsip-pany coach, as tournament director, DAVE STEE1CJ TIRES 112 Ridgedale Morristown 267-2424 Want Call fc 538-5501 OPEN 8-5 SAT. 8-NOON COME TEST DRIVE A HONDA (MOWER, THAT IS) I liliunt: quirt trukr Oil enaime for maiimum performance and minimal furl ar. thin premium MKi alio feature Hoto-Stup, hn it bli Ml UU UU-U US) hen vuu releaw the handle, yrl keep, the enf ine runniri.

Or maybe a rematch between heavyweights Todd Drugac of Boan ton and Keith Dickerson of Parsippa ny Hills? winr Situated between the end of the' regular season and the districts, the MCT has great timing, as well. "At i that stage of the game," said VittoriQ, "the kids will be gunning for each 'j other. Seedings (for the districts) wilt be on the line." Yet as advantageous as mid-Feb- ruary is, a problem occurs. Morris Knolls coach Dick Scorese, the president of the county coaches' association, points out that teams will have just finished what could be a compel iti ve regular season, then face the MCT, the sectionals and the districts in three successive weekends. "Vou're going to penalize the gocd teams," Scorese argued.

"We didn't increase the season. We added more into a short period of time. I'm a ht tic skeptical of whether we're sacri-t ficing quality for quantity." At any rate, getting the MCT started is the primary Vittorio and the coaches simply wan(t to lay the groundwork for something they've felt was long overdue. As Scorese summed up, "If it turns out to be a great thing and it could be a great thing, we'll find out right away who's No. 1 in the county." Tl Jerry Durso, the unbeaten 142- pound state champion wrestler from Ridge, has always been one who pre ferred the bold takedown.

So it shouldn't be much of a surprise that he's chosen to spend the next four years wrestling not at Lehigh an established wrestling power but at Notre Dame, where the sport is just taking hold. 1 "I figured I couldn't make a wrong decision," said Durso, referring to both schools' academic "But Notre Dame's building their program, and I'm excited about ') being involved in that" Much of the credit should go to Fran McCann. With a sudden influi of funds to upgrade its wrestling program, Notre Dame hired McCann, the former Indiana State coach, to lead the team last year and begin recruiting heavily this year. Durso sa.d the coaches are counting on him to the starting 134-pounder next year. "Notre Dame's not really known for wrestling, so I never thought -about it until the last couple of months," said Durso, who'll major in business.
