R.H.S. Boys Track & Field: Ridgewood’s Dublirer brothers

There was a time when the Dublirer brothers were leaving for an important meet, and their dad sent them off by saying, “Have a nice run.”Storm and Luke recoiled and told dad with no uncertainty that they were out to win for Ridgewood High School, not just run.

“They owe that [attitude] to Mike Glynn, their coach,” the father, Rob Dublirer, said recently.

The family name, which has an Austrian derivation, stands out in track circles. The last few years, there has been a Dublirer or two running well for the Maroons in cross-country and/or track. The brothers ran together for a while as teammates with outstanding success and have done so individually as well.

With Storm having graduated RHS in 2013, Luke continued the family legacy this past school year before graduating in June.

“They are two of the best middle distance runners I’ve ever coached,” said Glynn, who is about to begin his 49th cross-country season (15th at Ridgewood). “They’re absolutely wonderful kids, and they’re more similar than not.”

Glynn wasn’t sure what he had each time a Dublirer arrived for freshman year.
