  • Robert Whitney of Voorhees brings home the fastest boys time of the day by 10 seconds under the field. He won the Varsity A race with a time of 16:30. That one card would start off a great finish for the rest of his team who took the team title with 52 points and a team average of 17:18. They just out scored St. Josephy's Metuchen 52 to 55 who went 4-5-6 for their top three! St. Jos also averaged 17:22, they were led by 4th place Dylan Tyrell who ran 17:04.

09/27 Peddie Invitational
Peddie School
Hightstown, NJ
  • Peddie boys take the cake with a 23 point blowout. St. Benedicts wasn't running Rutto but I don't think it would have mattered, with a hypothetical one card for St. Benedicts the score still would have been Peddie 28-29. 

    Fastest time of the meet went to Collin Mulligan of Peddie School with a huge lead at 16:25. On the girls side Bridgid Greed won with a 20:22 leading Peddie School as well. There weren't enough scorers on any team other than Peddie on the girls side.
