On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the Haddonfield boys cross country team won the Colonial Conference title by defeating Haddon Township, Haddon Heights and Sterling at Pennypacker Park. The Bulldogs finished their 2013 dual meet season with a perfect 10–0 record, and extended Coach Nick Baker’s undefeated streak to 162 meets, stretching back to 1997.
The race was won by Luke Petela of Haddon Township in 15:40. Haddonfield took the next four places, with Alex Gigliotti, Greg Pelose, Matt Stewart, and John Greenberg finishing second through fifth. Owen Long from Haddon Township finished 6th, with Austin Stoner, Chris Goings, Dan Brennan, Patrick Shea, and Colin Gallagher of Haddonfield finishing seventh through eleventh. The final score against Haddon Township was 21–40, and 15–50 against Haddon Heights and Sterling.
The Bulldogs run next at the Colonial Conference All Star meet, which will be held at Pennypacker Park on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 4 p.m. This race should be a good gauge of their fitness for the big November meets, starting with sectionals at Delsea on Nov. 2.
