2009 State Prep Championships : The Gray Bees cross country team couldn't keep its State Prep championship streak alive after winning the last four titles. Coach Marty Hannon's squad wound up fifth with 121 points in the A Division race of the Prep Championships on Nov. 4 in Blairstown. Seton Hall won the team title to end St. Benedict's amazing run. The Gray Bees were led by Garland Miller, who came across the finish line in ninth place with a time of 17:30. "Obviously, we were disappointed to not win after having a 4-year winning streak. However, we made very good progress (this year)," said Hannon, whose team then placed third in the B Division of the Catholic Conference Championships on Nov. 7. "The kids gave it their best shot. They did not shy away - from the gun they went with the leaders, but they just did not have enough to stay with the stronger teams that had somewhat more experience and depth."
