Ridgewood HS Boys Track Team Named Team of the Year

The Record has named the Ridgewood High School boys track team as its team of the year in 2013, following a record-breaking season that culminated in multiple titles.

"We had pretty high expectations back in March, and the team much more than fulfilled those preseason hopes with some solid performances up and down the lineup," Ridgewood coach Josh Saladino told the paper. "Our depth really paid off for us and we never stopped battling, that was the key."

The team won the league, county relays, county and state sectional championship all in the same season for the first time in school history," the school district wrote on its Facebook page.

"Earlier in June, in Greensboro, NC, the team had some tremendous accomplishments: The Sprint Medley relay team of senior Storm Dublirer, and juniors Brian Collins, Doohee Han and Jake Sabatini finished in fourth place in the nation, earning All-American status. The 4x800m relay team of senior Storm Dublirer, juniors Luke Dublirer and David Frering and freshman Michael Thurston came in seventh place in the nation and broke a 40-year-old Bergen County record."

The team’s assistant coaches are B.F. teachers Holly Martin and Torre Watson, as well as Class of '08 grad Mia Martinez, and former RHS guidance counselor Mike Glynn.
