Congrats to the 32 New Jersey cross-country squads across the state who were crowned champions on the warmest Sectional Saturday in NJ history.
And big shoutout goes to the four teams in South Jersey, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Ocean City, and Cherokee, who pulled off team sweeps! I can't find another section in state history that's ever pulled off a quadruple broom job!!!
And how about what the Ridgewood boys did!! They threw down a perfect score of 15!!!! There are not many teams in state history (boys and girls combined) that have blitzed the competition with a shutout at the sectional championships. And Ridgewood did it against Group teams!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!
To honor all the champs, we've put together a list of every team winner with some info about each and a photo of all the team champions can be found below.!!
A few more more shoutouts first!
Let's hear it for to the nine schools that broke out the brooms and completed team sweeps - Glen Rock, Indian Hills, Ridgewood, Westfield, Metuchen, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Ocean City, and Cherokee, and let's make some noise for the first time sectional champs - the Point Pleasant Boro boys and the Monroe boys!!! Congrats!!!!
