BERKS COUNTY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP October 21, 1999 Kutztown University Weather: Sunny and 61 Degrees. Perfect Running Weather MOCERI, AMY HUSS & SPARTAN GIRLS SNARE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS Boys Race: Spartan All-State Junior Joel Moceri broke away from the pack right from the line and was never challenged at any point and romped to his 2nd Berks County individual champinship in a row by over 40 seconds. Only James McDonald of Fleetwood made any attempt at going with Joel in the first mile, but the pace was too high even though it appeared that Joel was just gliding along. McDonald ran a strong race until the final short uphill along the tree line where he was passed by Conrad Weiser Sophomore Chris Muldoon, a rising talent, who held off McDonald for 2nd by 10 meters. Mifflin's Josh Gerloff ran an inspired race for a 4th place. Jay Leininger of Boyertown was battling Muldoon in 3rd for the first 2 miles until he faded in the last mile to finish 5th. In the team competition, the Gov. Mifflin Mustangs won their first team championship in 31 years with a good effort from their #2,3 & 4 runners (Nuhfer 15th, Lubas 18th and Kline 20th). Their 5th man Moss finished 32nd. Even though their 85 point total was probably the highest ever winning score, it was enough for the Mustangs to win in a very evenly matched team competition. Boyertown was 2nd and Twin Valley 3rd. Other than Moceri, the rest of the Spartans got off to a slow start from which they never recovered and finished 4th overall as a team. Freshman Paul Stoltzfus ran his best race of the year finishing the last mile very strongly for a 19th place. Josh VanderVeen was 27th, Joel Goodling 33rd and Jeff Muir 38th to complete the scoring for the Spartans. 1. JOEL MOCERI, WY, 16:18; 2. Chris Muldoon, CW, 16:57; 3. James McDonald, F, 17:00; 4.

Girls Race: The Wyo girls extended their perfect season with a smashing victory in the Berks County Conference Championship race. Freshman Amy Huss gave the Spartans its 2nd individual girl county champion (the first being Crystal Russell in 1995) with an impressive performance over the entire course. After the gun and a big charge across the Kutztown University soccer plain, it was Spartans Amy Huss and Jess Geissler leading the group with a small gap. At the 1 mile mark after swooping around the cornfields, it was all blue at the front - 4 Spartans (A.Huss, Geissler, Janna Sallade and Debbie Huss) and 2 Tulpehocken Trojans (Alicia Gehris and Desiree Bower). A trio of Mifflin yellow (Nikki Stoyer, Alison Stoyko and Melissa Weitzel) was slightly behind this front group with Nikki Angstadt of Fleetwood. The Mustang string of County Championships was already in big trouble. As the girls came by the tree line for the first time, the biggest surprise materializing was the absence of defending champion Gehris at the front. Gehris had fallen to 7th place and even her teammate Bower, who turned to look back as if waiting for Gehris, appeared shocked. At this point Gehris waved her teammate on as if signaling that this wasn't going to be her day. Instead it was Amy Huss who was powering away from the field by herself. Giving chase were Angstadt and Stoyer who were marked by Wyo's Sallade. Next were Debbie Huss and Geissler running side by side. Up the short hill at the end of the tree line for the first time the race began to string out from Huss's pressure at the front. Over the next mile and by the Kutztown University classrooms, she increased her lead. Amy only began to slow slightly in the last 400 meters where Angstadt made a valiant effort to win. But this was Huss's day as she crossed the line to take the gold. Angstadt was 2nd - 12 meters back. Meanwhile, in a repeat battle from last week at Mifflin, Sallade hung on Stoyer's heels all the way, but Stoyer held Janna off again for 3rd. Only this time Janna didn't fade in the last half mile and finished only 5 meters behind for 4th. In 5th was Debbie Huss, who gave the Spartans 3 finishers in the top five - a dominating performance. Mustang Stoyko, who had finished so strongly last week at Shillington had nothing left this time, but she was a solid 6th - 50 meters behind D. Huss. In 7th and 8th were the two Trojans, Bower and Gehris. Wyo's Geissler, who had a very strong race all the way (especially in the first mile) was 11th comfortably ahead of #3 Mustang Weitzel. Erin Flannery finished 21st to complete the scoring for the Spartans. The Wyo girls had won their first ever Berks County Team Championship and had dethroned the Mustang juggernaut. The Spartans slaughtered the herd all three times they met this year. The Stangs' were 2nd and Twin Valley, who had a strong team race was 3rd. 1. AMY HUSS, WY, 19:38; 2. Nicki Angstadt, F, 19:42; 3.
