We Are The Champions: A Look At Every Sectional Team Winner

Nov 02, 2025

Congrats to the 32 New Jersey cross-country squads across the state who were crowned champions on Sectional Saturday.

There were long droughts ended, big streaks continued and the Leonia girls and Passic Tech boys were the only teams in the state to win their first sectional titles!!

And big shoutouts go to the 5 programs that pulled off the broom jobs by sweeping the team titles- Leonia, North Hunterdon, Haddonfield, Ocean City, and Cherokee. Haddonfield, Ocean City, and Cherokee also swept the championships last year.

To honor all the champs, we put together a list of every team winner with some info about each team and a photo of all the team champions. We are still trying to track down photos of the Mountain Lakes and Princeton girls, so if you have one, please send it to us ASAP and we will add it.
