In the boys' DMR the Patriot Track Club from Poughkeepsie, NY won with a time of 10:09.31. Close on their heels were Wachusett HS from Holden, MA and Cardinal O'Hara from PA. Wachusett ran 10:10.40 and O'Hara ran 10:10.80. Those 3 times were the 4th, 6th, and 7th fastest high school times ever. Also running the DMR was the team from Archbishop Carroll who turned in a 15th place finish with a clocking of 10:34.47. Cardinal O'Hara used the foursome of Greg Thomas, Jack Braconnier, Matt Willard, and Steve Hallinan to capture 3rd at the NSIC. O'Hara was in contention for the entire race until Steve Hallinan pulled into the lead during the mile leg. Through 3/4's of a mile Hallinan built a substantial lead over the anchor legs of Westfield NJ and CBA NJ, before the closing kicks of the anchors from Wachusett and the Patriot Track Club. O'Hara's splits were Greg Thomas, 3:08.7, Jack Braconnier, 49.5, Matt Willard, 1:59.3, and Steve Hallinan, 4:13.0.
