Conversation Notes

  • The Group 2 boys individual title could hold a great battle between the Daly twins Colin and William of River Dell and Joe Dragon from High Point. If not now then at the Group level where they meet again the following week and have more on the line.
  • Only a sophomore, Shannon Goria of River Dell could pull off the win in the Group 2 race.
  • As Pat Montferrat points out with his pick in Group 4 girls, Abby Loveys is a potential upset winner running really well as a freshmen for Randolph his season.

Conversation Notes

  • Could Mountain Lakes and River Dell both go for the sweep and win the boys and girls team titles for Group 1 and 2?
  • The Indian Hills boys will be aiming for a ridiculously low score in the Group 3 race, expect a big day led by Matt Cohane and awesome pack running.
  • The Group 3 girls title is not going to come easy despite Roxbury being favored here, if you're attending that meet be ready to count the numbers during an exciting finish.
  • Top Ten Teams:
    Girls - NJ#9 Ridgewood (Group 4)
    Boys - NJ#6 Indian Hills (Group 3),
