NE stars hit big deuces at Henderson Invitational
05/05/2007
Highlighting the weekend... The weather was perfect. The venue perfection. The athletes primed to assault the record books of two states in the two-mile. With the help of two Henderson runners, Boyertown's Jason Weller and each other, Colts Neck New Jersey's Craig Forys and Unionville's Paul Springer went one-two in what may be the best prep 2-mile race on PA soil. When the clock stopped, Forys ran 8:49.99, Springer 8:52.86 and Weller 9:08.42.

Forys broke the 8:52.0 record held by Charlie Logan of Bernards in 1979. Springer broke the 8:56.56 2-mile record set by Lewisburg's Chris Spooner in 2004.

3000 Times: Forys: 8:15.5h, Springer: 8:18.4h 3200 Times: Forys: 8:46.04, Springer: 8:49.84, Weller:9:05.29
