Group 1 Conversation Notes

  • Kellert | The sectional battle between Haddon Twp and Pennsville was close. Haddon Twp has a very strong 1-2-3 to get some low numbers early. The fourth and fifth men for both squads are going to be VERY important on Saturday.
  • Montferrat | Hawks over Pennsville…Close
  • Stranieri | Could the top three of Haddon Township be too much to handle and to lead their team to potential big victory?

Group 2 Conversation Notes

  • Kellert | I see Voorhees winning this one with Haddonfield and Robbinsville vying for a close second.
  • Montferrat | Voorhees in a three way Battle Royale.

Group 3 Conversation Notes

  • Kellert | If you are at the finish line on Saturday count the 1-5 finishers for Indian Hills to be in awe of their awesome pack running. They split a mere 18 seconds between themselves last week averaging 16:41 at Garret Mountain.
  • Montferrat | Could be a Big Day for the Braves
  • Stranieri | Indian Hills should take the win, but the question is how low can they go?

Group 4 Conversation Notes

  • Kellert | Just like the individual race the team race is absolutely ridiculous. Cherry Hill East, Old Bridge, Millburn, Cherokee, Kingsway and more. There are only so many advancing spots and a few top ten teams in the state could be left out of the Meet of Champions. This one will go right to the finish.
  • Montferrat | Old Bridge is a talented bunch…arriving on time

Non Public A Conversation Notes

  • Kellert | Last year this race went to extra runners between Don Bosco and CBA before CBA came away with the title. Expect another very close one this year.
  • Montferrat | CBA has too much depth for the field.

Non Public B Conversation Notes

  • Montferrat | Massey leads Tom Fleming's, Montclair Kimberley, crew to the title.
