Conversation Notes
- Sierra Castaneda enters the weekend looking to defend her sectional title and hold off Lauren Sapone, who is also running really well right now.
- The boys Group 3 individual title is reachable for multiple talented runners with no true favorite in the race, could make for an exciting final straight away finish.

Conversation Notes
- For the boys Group 3 sectional title we are obviously split, this section is a toss up with an abundance of talented teams between Summit, Middletown South, West Windsor Plainsboro North, Mendham, Middletown North and so on. Good luck!
- That Group 4 girls section is going to be a fun finish to watch, we have Ridge favored on our board but North Hunterdon won't go down easy. They did win Skyland Championships over both Ridge and Hillsborough after all.
- Top Ten Teams Involved:
Girls - NJ#1 North Hunterdon (Group 4), NJ#2 Ridge (Group 4), NJ#5 Mendham (Group 3)
Boys - NJ#9 Millburn
