Last year Aldridge placed sixth at Regionals and then 23rd at Nationals. She stated during an interview at NJSIAA Sectionals that she has geared her training toward these post season meets.
Elliot Gindi - SR - Ocean Twp
Elliot Gindi has had a great senior campaign so far, and coming off winning the New Jersey state title he extended that season even further by earning fourth at Regionals running 15:40. This is Gindi's first trip to Foot Locker nationals, in 2015 he competed in the Nike Cross Nationals Regional qualifier placing 19th.
Matt Grossman - SR - Millburn
Matt Grossman qualified for his second straight Foot Locker Nationals appearance by finishing seventh at Regionals with a 15:46.
