Congrats to the 13 teams (there was one tie) that were crowned State Group Champions on Saturday.
There was a team sweep by Union Catholic, including a historic victory by the girls, first ever championships for four teams - the Morris Knolls boys, the Hillsborough girls, Montclair-Kimberley boys, Morristown--Beard girls, repeat titles by the Demarest boys, Hasbrouck Heights girls, and Woodbury boys. And the Westfield boys ended a long drought, the Winslow girls won its 9th title, and the Rumson girls won its second title in three years.
As we do each year at NJ MileSplit, we put together a list of all the team champs with their photos. We are still seeking a team photo of the Winslow girls, so please send us one so we can add it this article.
GET YOUR NJ STATE GROUP CHAMPS ON!!!!
