The Archbishop Curley, which has won the team title at the last two MIAA Track & Field Championship meets, edged closer to capturing the outright MIAA A Conference dual meet title with 80-66 victory over Gilman, yesterday.
The Friars, now 4-0 in the conference, are the only remaining unbeaten in the league and they can lock up the outright crown with a victory over Mount St. Joseph, next week.
Curley, which has also won three invitational titles this year, last won the dual meet title in 2005. Combined with their championship meet victories has now captured at least one MIAA track title in each of the last four years. And, when the championship meet is held at Calvert Hall in two weeks, Curley will be looking to win the Hoffman Cup, named in honor of Friars’ head coach Gene Hoffman, for a third straight year.
Prior to the 2006 season, the MIAA coaches voted to name the team championship award at the MIAA meet after Hoffman, in recognition of his nearly three decades of service to the league. Since then, Curley has been the only team to hold “The Hoffman.”

Eric Franklin 110 HH (14.5) and 300IH (40.2)
Jerome Junior 100 (10.8) , High Jump (6′-2″), Long Jump (20′-10″) and Discus (128′)
