Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints.  I like to make something beautiful when I run.  I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.'  It's more than just a race, it's style.  It's doing something better than anyone else.  Pre

Group III State Champs

@ Princeton  02/15/04

Craig Forys breaks the national freshman record of 9:27.5 by running 9:20.59.  Craig runs his last 200 in 29.1 to just miss winning as he is caught by 4:11 mile Jeremy Zagorski just before the finish.  Zach Tedoff places 6th in the 1600 and Ryan Jagielski and the 4x400 relay team get wild cards to move on to the Meet of Champions.

From Dyestat.com:

Forys' 9:20.59 is a new US freshman record

Colts Neck NJ freshman Craig Forys (4) ran 9:20.59 for 3200 meters, finishing just 0.02 behind Parsippany Hills sr Jeremy Zagorski 9:20.57, in the New Jersey Group 3 championships at Princeton Sunday (2/15) for a new US record for a freshman. The old records in Jack Shepard's HIGH SCHOOL TRACK annual were Ryan Deak 9:29.10 2 miles in 2001 and Brian Dalpiaz 9:27.50 3200m in 2000. Forys' time is superior to both. Forys will be 15 in July.
