Thurs. S.J. boys' roundup: Moorestown upsets Haddonfield

Buoyed by a scintillating win in the 200-yard medley relay by 0.08 seconds, No. 2 seed Moorestown built an early lead and held on to topple top-seeded Haddonfield, 91-79, on Thursday in the South Jersey Public B boys' swimming championship at GCIT.

Will Van Fossen led off the winning medley relay effort - which nosed out the Bulldogs, 1 minute, 38.80 seconds to 1:38.88 - and went on to capture the 200 individual medley as well as anchor the winning 400 freestyle relay.

Tom Shetler added a pair of individual golds (50 and 100 freestyle) for the Quakers, who enjoyed a 16-point lead after the first four events. Devin Nielsen, who competed on both winning relays, led Moorestown to a sweep of the first four spots in the 100 breaststroke.

Will Manion (100 butterfly, 100 backstroke) and Ryan Richards (200 freestyle, 500 freestyle) were double winner for Haddonfield.

State Non-Public B. Mike Kell won the 200 individual medley (2:26.59) and the 500 freestyle (4:27.24), but No. 8 seed Camden Catholic had little else to cheer in a 109-61 quarterfinal loss at top-seeded Pingry.

The Renegades received scoring from 11 players, led by Tristan Thompson's 13 points.
