The 31st annual swimming, cycling, and foot race will be held Saturday morning.
Though no township roadways will be closed, local officials say residents should look out this Saturday for participants of the Wyckoff-Franklin Lakes Triathlon, which has part of its course going through Mahwah. "The triathlon only travels through Mahwah for a short distance, Pulis Ave to Campgaw Road to Campgaw Reservation then back to Campgaw Road to Pulis," Mahwah Police Chief Jim Batelli said. "This portion of the route is in the middle, so the crowd is usually thinned out and Campgaw Road is a wide road at that point. We assign a [police] car to monitor the traffic, but we do not anticipate any road closings." Lots of locals, including many from Mahwah, are expected to participate in the 31st annual triathalon this year. Race …

After a mess of a season, the Jets look to move forward with the right signal caller. Who do you think is the better option this season?
Practice makes perfect, and if you take a look at the Jets’ performance last season, they need a lot of practice. But don't fear Jets fans, Gang Green is already on the practice field at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park. Hundreds of fans attended the team's mini-camp Tuesday and got a good look at the Jets' current quarterback competition. While projected starter Mark Sanchez was throwing a pass, a Jets fan could be heard saying, “he looks good out there, he is in control,” while another muttered, “False leadership.” Draft pick Geno Smith and Sanchez took turns running the offense, but pay no mind to the order in which the names are written. Geno looked good and was putting the ball on the money but Sanchez was much…

Thunderbirds' bid to defend NJSIAA Group 2 baseball title falls short.
Bases loaded. No outs. Time running out. It's the kind of situation that can make or break any baseball team. After powering through the opposition in the NJSIAA baseball tournament, Mahwah appeared poised to break open a close game, just as it had done in five previous games. But just when they needed them most, the Thunderbirds' potent bats deserted them and Cinnaminson went on to a 2-1 victory to unseat the defending Group 2 champions at Toms River High School South yesterday. "I'll take that situation (bases loaded with no outs) every time," Mahwah coach Jeff Remo said. "It just didn't happen for us." Much of that was due to the pitching of Cinnaminson's John Bednarek. After Mahwah (27-4) loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth …

Giants Coach Tom Coughlin and players David Wilson, Cory Webster, Chris Snee, and Mark Herzlich headlined a fundraiser for former NFL player Frank Chamberlin.
The New York Giants appeared at the Wyckoff YMCA Wednesday evening at a benefit for resident Frank Chamberlin, a New Jersey native and former NFL linebacker battling cancer. Chamberlin, a Mahwah High School graduate, played for five years in the NFL before being diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma, a rare form of brain cancer. Drafted by the Tennessee Titans out of Boston College in 2002, he went on to play for the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans. Brian Saxton, a former Giant and Boston College alum, reached out to the YMCA about two months ago to organize the fundraiser, and his connections with the NFL team helped to arrange the appearance of the football stars Wednesday. "There's a bond," Saxton said. "Frank grew up in New …
