"Our club has enjoyed connecting with the high school running community through our showcase meets," said GSTC founder Chuck Schneekloth, "However, we also recognize how valuable the post-season is in cross country. After talking with some coaches and student-athletes, we all agreed Holmdel Park would be a perfect spot for it. We especially appreciate the efforts of Danny Pedretti, from North Hunterdon HS, who has served as a thoughtful advocate for high school runners during the planning process for this event."
MileSplit will be on site for coverage of the event including race videos, photos, interviews.
