2013 NJ High School RankingsPoll - Week 8
Headed for Home
With a few exceptions, Week 8 of the 2013 XC season consisted of the balance of County/Conference Championsips. Lots of expected outcomes along with a few surprises. Some teams are getting healthy and looking to fulfill the promises of the pre/early season, while others are looking to make that leap to the elite ranks. For the NJ TOP TEN haqrrier squads, it was a mixed bag.
No one knows what the next few weeks will hold as we move to the State Championship series. One thing is clear though. It will be a wild ride.
