(("I knew from the first time I saw him, he was gonna be special, an overused clich�. But Northside's Ed Culicerto has a seventh grade track story that proves David Cabbler was destined for greatness.
((ED CULICERTO:))
Two years ago, that toughness and the then sophomore's endless ability earned Cabbler track and field trip to Russia.
((DAVID CABBLER:))
This past weekend, he won the 300 hurdles, the 110 hurdles and the triple jump while placing third in the long jump at Salem's Cosmo track meet.

Cabbler placed third in the state as a junior in his best event, the 300 hurdles, but his specialty is his versatility.
