Gindi vs Grossman Potential Kick of the Week? What a Showdown in Group 3


WOW! What a finish Elliot Gindi of Ocean Township and Matt Grossman of Millburn gifted all of us watching the Group 3 Boys Championship on Saturday. They both made moves on the final straight away and it took every inch of the course to decided who would win the state title. After the dust settled the officials named Elliot Gindi the winner at 15:27, Matt Grossman second with the same time. They now rank #10 all-time at Holmdel Park just missing the Group 3 meet record held by Tom O'Neill of Middletown North who ran 15:26 to win this Group in 2013. 

Coming into this race Matt Grossman was the defending Group 4 champion and two of our three experts picked him to win. Elliot Gindi was the other name up there in the previews after burning course PRs and winning titles all season long. Gindi is now undefeated in the 5K so far this season, a clean 7-0. If this is any kind of sign what the Meet of Champions will be like it'll be a can't miss event!
