‘run’ to
States
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Three Back Mountain high school
cross country runners will compete
in the state competition at Lehigh
University this weekend.
Dallas High School senior Amy
Aston competed in Division AAA
competition in Districts at Frances
Slocum last year and placed second
behind Honesdale’s Renee Robbins,
came in first this season in Division
AA in 17:19, :04 less time than
Robbins who ran in AAA again this
season. Aston’s closest competitor
in AA was Meyers Lorrie Gardner
who came in second with 18:43.
Aston, who gave up field hockey,
one of her favorite sports, this year
to concentrate on running, was only
:05 behind the record set by
Meyers’ Mary Wazeter 17:12 set in
1979.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
David Aston, Amy said that when
she competed in states last year she
finished 16th among approximately
260 runners. This year when Dallas
High School faculty member Louis
Isaac told her she had the build for
a long distance runner, she decided
to give up field hockey and other
fall and winter sports and concen-
trate on running. This is only her
second year in running and she is
now running five to 10 miles every
evening. During the summer she
ran about 50 miles every week.
Dallas junior Mark Wright, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Willard Wright, fin-
ished fifth in Division AAA in 15:36,
:33 behind Abington Heights’ first
place finisher Mark McLane with a
time of 15:03.
This is Wright’s second year as a
member of the Dallas High School
Cross Country team, having run last
year under Coach Lou Isaacs. This
year’s coach is Donald Hosey of
Franklin Township, who had to
build a team around a nucleus of
three runners, most of the others
having graduated.
Wright said he became interested
in running through Isaacs who told
him he looked like a runner. He also
is a member ofthe high school track
team and participates in the high
jump, two mile run and the two
mile relay.
His best time since starting to run
was in the districts at Frances
Slocum Park this year.
The third student to enter the
state competition is John Rosen-
crans of Lake-Lehman. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Rosen-
crans, Jr. of Mooretown.
A sophomore, this is John’s first
year on the high school cross-coun-
try team coached by Ed Narkiew-
icz. He finished sixth in the boys AA
Built to your spec’s
Area game.
Division in this year’s districts with
a time of 15:48. His fastest time
over a course this season was 15:25
but he hopes to better it at states.
He plan to continue running
during the winter and go out for the
track team in the spring, which is
also coached by Narkiewicz. He will
try out for the pole vault, the mile
and two mile runs.
Rosencrans has two brothers and
a sister, but he is the first to
become a member of the school’s
cross country team. His older
brother, Wayne, was a member of
the varsity wrestling team; his
sister, Sue, is a member of the
band; and his younger brother is a
member of the Back Mountain Ele-
mentary Wrestling team.
The three students will leave
Friday for Bethlehem to prepare for
Saturday’s state competition.
