Both the voters and I agree Caroline O'Sullivan of Northern Valley Old Tappan had a fantastic performance last week. Read a quick recap of Caroline's 800 meter run.

|---|---|
The Old Tappan sophomore ran a NJ#1 time of 2:16.40 at the Spiked Shoe Holiday Festival. As of January 1st that still ranked four seconds ahead of NJ#2 and sits at US#4! |
The voters and I have the same pick this week. This was a great start to the season for O'Sullivan, only a sophomore and hitting her PR time indoor or outdoors with 2:16.40 to open 2016. She made it to the Meet of Champions last indoor as a freshmen and is already showing great strides over last year. |
Alyssa Aldridge won the voting section of the award with 46% of the votes. She posted a 2 mile time of 10:42.25, US#1 at the time and now in the non-conversion 2 mile rankings! |
Alyssa started her season off with a bang setting the state record and national junior class record in the Shot Put with a throw of 54-5 at the Bishop Loughlin Games. She also went US#5 in the Weight Throw with 50-10 for second at the meet. |
