Predictions For 2021 NJSIAA Group Championships

NJ State Meet Coverage
Robert Kellert


The NJSIAA Group XC Championships are back for the first time since 2019 and with so many enticing matchups coming our way we figured we'd try to predict each champion. 

As always with articles like this, if you're reading we assume you're interested in fun discussion about the sport and understand these attempted predictions are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Especially once everyone toes the line on Saturday.

Best of luck to everyone out there competing this weekend, this has been a great season so far and we can't wait to see what Groups has in store. 

Predictions made by Robert Kellert, Jim Lambert, and Pat Montferrat.
