Ted Stewart is a runner at Green Ridge High School. The boys' track & field team at Green Ridge won the state championship last year, but many of its stars have graduated. Now they are the underdogs, although Coach Bill Mallory is confident that Ted, Josh Johnson, and others can fill the gaps and compete with archrival Riverside High. Ted, however, will have to deal with his teammate Sonny Lamar who rarely has a kind word for anybody. EDWARD R. KOCH is a CPA and an attorney who resides in northern New Jersey with his family. He competed for championship teams in high school and college. Since that time, he has officiated at all levels of the sport from the 1996 Olympic Games to local youth and adult events. He served during 2000-2008 as national treasurer of USA Track & Field, the national governing body of the sport.
