Terry, Pollack Blaze Trail at Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run
Pearl River, Monroe-Woodbury claim team titles at 28th Markiewicz event



Matt Terry of Danbury, Conn., and former Tappan Zee standout Jacqueline Pollack were crowned men’s and women’s champions at the 28th annual Bill Markiewicz Memorial Rockland Alumni Cross Country Run, held Nov. 27 at Bear Mountain.

Terry, a junior at Providence College, fought off a stern challenge from ex-North Rockland star Carlos Jamieson to capture the individual championship in 15 minutes 45 seconds over the hilly 3-mile Bear Mountain layout. Jamieson, a 2005 North Rockland alumnus who won the Rockland County schoolboy title in 2003, finished a scant second behind in 15:46.

Terry was Providence’s fifth scorer in the recent NCAA Division I championships, helping the Friars to a 22nd-place team finish.

Pollack, a 2010 Tappan Zee graduate, scored a convincing wire-to-wire victory in 20:09. She was the 2009 Section 1 Class A champion as a Dutchie senior. Runner-up Suzanne LaBurt, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1981, finished 120 yards back in 20:38. LaBurt has placed second four times and finished in the top five every year since 2002.

In the men’s team competition, Pearl River edged Monroe-Woodbury, 80 to 82, for its third title overall and first since 1992. On the women’s side, Monroe-Woodbury placed five runners in the top nine to decisively beat runner-up Suffern, 32 to 106. The championship was the seventh for the Crusaders from Orange County, snapping a tie with Pearl River for most women’s team titles.

The race, co-sponsored by the Rockland Road Runners, drew 255 participants including 74 women, tied for the second-highest total in meet history. Overall, 59 schools from nine states were represented – including California, North Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan – as well as international entrants from France and Turkey.

The oldest finisher was Joe D’Innocenzo, 73, from the Tappan Zee class of 1955, who placed 215th in 31:31. D’Innocenzo was the No. 2 man on Rockland’s first state championship cross country team, the 1954 Tappan Zee squad, and also coached the Clarkstown/Clarkstown North track team for 20 years.

The race is named in honor of Bill Markiewicz, a 1967 Albertus Magnus graduate who spent 11 successful years (1978-89) as Clarkstown North’s head cross country and assistant track coach, and was one of Rockland cross country’s biggest boosters. When he died of cancer in March 1991, the race was renamed in his memory and an annual award was established to recognize those who have rendered distinguished service to the sport.

This year’s winner is Janie Howell of Suffern, who has tabulated and transmitted to the media computerized results for virtually every Rockland-affiliated meet for more than a decade.

Howell’s daughter Meghan, Suffern class of 1999, was one of 10 former Rockland County meet champions who participated in this year’s Alumni Run. She was a three-time County champ (1996-98). She was joined by fellow ex-Mountie Shelby Greany, class of 2009 and now a Providence sophomore, who was a five-time County champion (2004-08) and is fresh off her 12th-place showing at the recent NCAA championships, the highest finish ever by a Rocklander.

Others included a pair of three-time champions from Pearl River, Brendan Fennell, class of 2003 (2000-02) and Mike Hickey, class of 2009 (2006-08); two-time winner Erin Haugh Colleran, Nanuet class of 1997 (1994-95); two former Albertus Magnus standouts, Mike Colangelo, class of 1975 (1974), and Laurel Gilhooly Reilly, class of 1981 (1980); Mike Rogan, Clarkstown North class of 1986 (1985); Pete Modafferi, Clarkstown South class of 1995 (1994); and Jamieson.

Rockland All-Century Team (1900-1999) members who competed in the race included Colangelo, Haugh Colleran, Howell, Pat Chambers, Albertus Magnus class of 1976, Eileen Shiel Herman, Clarkstown South class of 1981, and Andy Kohlbrenner, Pearl River class of 1981. Rockland All-Decade Team (2000-2009) members who took part included Fennell and Greany, who were voted Runners of the Decade, Jamieson, Hickey and Miguel Reyes, North Rockland class of 2003.

Seven previous Alumni Run champions also competed: eight-time titleholder Julianne Littmann-Viscardo, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1995 (1998, 2001, 2003-07, 2009); Chambers, the inaugural winner in 1983; three-time champ John Trautmann, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1986 (1988, 1994-95), the course record-holder at 14:08; George Buckheit, Albertus Magnus class of 1975 (1985, 1987); Brian Crowley, Albertus Magnus class of 1982 (1990); Nick Roosa, Tappan Zee class of 2003 (2005); and Brian McKnight, Monroe-Woodbury class of 1997 (2000).

Two former Albertus Magnus harriers kept alive their streak of never having missed an Alumni Run: Chambers and Larry Beckerle, class of 1973, who coached the 1990 Nanuet girls’ team to the state Class C title.
