Using these polls, we highlight some of the top performances of the past week in New Jersey cross-country action! Who do you think was the best of the best?
Polls will close on Wednesday at 8:00 pm ET.
Last Week's Winner: Shravan Pradeep of West Windsor Plainsboro South won a wild voting poll with 45% of the votes, ahead of Jacob Wickersham of Cinnaminson who gathered 41%. There were over 96k votes cast! These schools came out for their athletes!
Pradeep was on the ballot after winning the senior race at Thompson 2 Miler with a time of 9:54. That was the leading overall performance out of the 535 times posted on the boys' side of the meet. This was his recorded season opener.
Last fall Pradeep was seventh at Mercer County championships and finished 17th in the Central Group 4. This past track season he saw some great PR drops with times of 4:32.06 in the 1600m and 9:31.80 in the 3200m. That 3200m PR came during his Mercer County Championship win in the spring. This fall could bring some more title fights for this senior!
