A " small" correction there, OMW... Newton HS in Sussex Co. NJ + Blair Academy(PG?)
Dist. champ & Reg. runner-up... so he qualified for the NJSIAA state tournament.

But I laud you for picking up on Chris's accomplishment for LEHIGH!
My late wife and yours truly were in attendance at PENN ST/Bryce Jordan Arena in 1999. to witness Chris getting AA honors (6th).
His losses were all close bouts (5-3 to runner up Clint Musser Penn St QF... 4-3 in the consi-SF to Bryan Snyder of Nebraska who finished 4th... and Minnesota's Chad Kraft, 2-1 in the 5/6 bout.)
Bonus (IF my memory of it was correct... ) was that Chris, after getting his medal on the podium, proposed to his then GF and future wife, Lori.
What a way to end your collegiate career, eh?
