The prestigious meet is a prelude to the Spartans’ final competition of the season at the ECC-CACC Team Challenge, hosted by Georgian Court University in Lakewood, NJ, on May 4.

Mike Galonski of Newton, NJ, was second in the 10,000-meter run while Mike Abelard of Spring Valley was a double winner in the 100 and 200 at the CTC Championships, edging teammate George Erazo of North Babylon in both events. Erazo, however, bounced back to win the 400.

Other runners-up finishes were turned in by Garvency Nicolas of Brooklyn in the 800, and Joe Chegwidden of Hamburg, NJ, in the 3,000-meter steeplechase; and the 4x100 relay team of Frankie Colon of Suffern, Abelard, Erazo, and Rich Ricca of Pearl River, and the 4x400 team of Colon, Erazo, Abelard and Russell Ross of Bainbridge.

Keeley Bateman of Pearl River led the women’s team with a second-place showing in the 800, while Catherine Sandkuhl of North Babylon was third in the event.

Bateman also sparked the 4x400 relay team to victory, along with Sandkuhl, Ashley Stokkeland of Warwick and Chelsea Klinger of Owego.

Chris Roemer of Ardsley raised his average to .307 with a double, and Joe Lombardi of Briarcliff belted an RBI triple as the Pace University baseball team raised its record to an impressive 13-8 in the Northeast-10 with a 5-3 win over visiting Assumption College.

Roemer is second in batting for the Setters, and second in RBI with 22.

Junior Eddie Byrne of Yonkers tossed a scoreless inning in relief to improve to 4-3 after Brandon Martineson of Warwick blasted a two-run homer in the last of the ninth inning.

The Setters, who are in first place in the NE-10 Southwest Division with an 11-2 mark, defeated the University of New Haven in a division game at home, 3-2, to raise their mark to 23-16 overall. The rematch is scheduled today at 3:30 p.m. in New Haven, CT.
