REMEMBERING A PAIR OF LEGENDS
Unfortunately, there was some heartbreaking news in 2025 as the NJ XC and T&F Community lost some legends as Janet Smith-Leet, the greatest XC Runner in NJ history, Mike Pascuzzo, one of the state's top jumpers and an ambasador of the sport, and Bob Byrnes, a towering presence in this state on several levels, passed away. Mike passed away on March 15, Janet passed away on October 12, and Byrnes passed away on Dec. 18.
They all built a legacy in the NJ XC and T&F Community that will live on forever!!!
Here is a tribute to the legendary Janet Smith-Leet that was written this past August.
Here is a story about the beloved Bob Byrnes
