Conversation Notes

  • Keep an eye out during the Group 4 boys race, the battle between Bason and Rivera could come down to the final stretch.
  • There are a lot of high profile names coming out of the Central sectional meets, names you will probably see toward the front on November 21st at the Meet of Champions. This is a good meet to see how they match up.

Conversation Notes

  • NJ#7 Voorhees is favored to win the boys Central Group 2 title but don't count out NJ#10 Robbinsville who will be battling for all important low cards in this race as well.
  • Colts Neck has the potential to win both the boys and girls titles.
  • The Old Bridge boys could do something special on Saturday, keep on the lookout for their team average. Consistent and great performances all season so far at Thompson Park.

    Boys - NJ#2 Old Bridge (Group 4), NJ#7 Voorhees (Group 2), NJ#10 Robbinsville (Group 2)
