The Miller girls had a great season going 15-1, but they are looking up at two great teams.
Despite having yet another great season, the Millburn girls cross country team finds itself in a similar position as it was a year ago. Millburn finished the fall season with a 15-1 dual meet record and second place performances in the conference, county and North II Group 3 section but still find themselves chasing two difficult teams. A year ago when the girls had a similar finish, it was Livingston they targeted as the team to beat. Now Livingston is out of the way, but now Mt. St. Dominic (conference and county champions) along with Mendham (section and Group 3 champions) are the teams Millburn is chasing. "It was a great season. The only downside is that we didn't win anything," said Millburn head coach Mike Artigliere. "We weren't …

The boys take 10th place, the girls place 16th and Udland placed fourth overall
Blake Udland is the lone Miller cross country runner moving on to the final stage of the season, the Meet of Champions. Udland placed fourth in the Group 3 Championships on Saturday at Holmdel Park, clocking in at 16:13.15, less than 30 seconds behind first place runner Jim Rosa. "We were very happy. Going into the day we were hoping to be in the top five," said Millburn head coach Jeff Kaye. Udland's time was a near 20-second personal record at Holdmel, and what's more encouraging about his finish is that everyone who placed better than him is graduating in June. Udland may be the frontrunner in the state come next fall. "We noticed that and you can't definitely say that next year he will win," Kaye said. "I think it was encouraging to …

Both the girls and the boys teams came in second on Saturday.
After two years of playing second and third fiddle, Millburn's Blake Udland has finally had his day. Udland posted a 16:38.6, winning the first ever major championship race of his cross country career on Saturday morning at the North II Group 3 state sectional championships at Warinanco Park. "My whole freshman and sophomore year I was running in the shadow of Tyler (Udland) and Brian (Robinson)," Udland said. "Now to finally win something, it feels great." Through the first 1,600 meters Udland was in a tight group with two Mendham runners out in front of the rest of the pack. He was content to play possum for the first two miles, letting the other runners set the pace. "He ran good. He wanted to run well because he obviously missed a …

The Millburn boys cross country take third.
A young Millburn girls cross country team would have liked to win the Super Essex Conference American division meet on Tuesday, but Mount St. Dominic was just too tough. The Lady Millers came in second with a score of 58, far behind the Lady Lions with 19. During the regular season the only team that defeated Millburn in a dual meet was Mount St. Dominic with a 15-1 record. On the boys side Millburn was missing their top runner in Blake Udland and finished in third with 61, just behind Seton Hall Prep at 61 and the winner Livingston with 45 in the SEC American. The top runner coming in for the Lady Millers was junior Beatrice Konrad at 21:09.9, who was fifth in the American division and the first runner outside of a Mount St. Dominic …

Blake Udland enters the fall as Millburn's one elite runner.
For the first time in his high school racing career Blake Udland will be alone at the top. With the graduations of his older brother Tyler and teammate Brian Robinson, two of the best distance runners in the school's history, the youngest Udland has gone from number three to number one on the depth chart. At this point in his running career Udland has excelled mostly at the one-mile event, where he holds both the freshmen and sophomore records. While he's clearly an above average talent in cross country, he has not yet made a big splash in a championship event. "It's certainly a possibility for him to get records. Certainly the mile and the 1,600 record.," said Millburn cross country head coach Jeff Kaye. "The two-mile, we'll see how …

With four of the top five runners gone, the 2010 team will be much different than 2009.
The only certainty about this year's boys cross country squad is that they will be very different from the 2009 version. The losses of Tyler Udland and Brian Robinson to graduation are the obvious ones. Willy Friedlander also graduated, and John Murphy will miss his senior season while recovering from surgery. That means that four of Millburn's top five runners from last season are no longer on the team, leaving six spots to fill and a lot of uncertainty heading into the fall. "We're a different team. We're not built like we used to be in the past," said head coach Jeff Kaye. "In the past, we've always had a number of frontrunners. Conference and county, they always ended up being easy wins for us. This year I think we have a chance to win…

The graduations of Rose and Barrese leave holes in the top two spots.
After Millburn's top two girl cross country runners graduated last year, Head Coach Mike Artigliere is looking to fill the holes left by Shayna Rose and Sarah Barrese with his current seniors and underclassmen. Rose and Barrese placed 9th and 12th in the county last season, so Artigliere is drawing from the talent on the rest of his team, which placed third in the county and second in the conference section last year. "We had a good year overall," Artigliere said. "Being top three in the county and being second in the conference—which again, I think as a team we were shooting a little bit higher. Obviously the next step is to win it. All said, it was a good season, but I think we left some things on the table." Based on last season's …

Tyler Udland fails to recapture title at Meet of Champions to close cross-country scholastic career.
Following the final race of his impressive high school cross country career, Tyler Udland’s eyes started to well up with tears. He had several different reasons for getting emotional Saturday. Udland, considered one of the state’s best runners, captured a disappointing eighth place at Saturday’s Meet of Champions at Holmdel Park. While his performance wasn’t exactly what many anticipated, Udland started to reflect on the culmination of years of hard work and a race that took its toll on his beaten and battered legs. “It just wasn’t a great race and it happens sometimes,” Udland said. “I was ready to run, but my legs were just dead.” Udland’s time of 15:50 guided Millburn to seventh overall in the team competition with 188 points, 11 points…

Injuries and sickness hamper the team's performance.
The best boys cross country team Millburn has ever had? That's what their players and coach Jeff Kaye say. They certainly have the stats to back that claim up. Saturday's showing at the New Jersey Group Finals at Holmdel Park was a convincing performance in itself: with a combined team time of 1:24:51 and an average course completion time of 16:58.20, the boys in blue finished third out of 20 teams in Group III. Lots of teams had to overcome adversity—the field was just plain nasty. A steady barrage of wind and rain tore what was already a very difficult course up until it was a muddy, slippery mess. Several runners from several teams slipped and fell at the finish line, causing the officials to lay down hay for traction. Millburn had …
