Can CBA be stopped? It looks like we'll have to wait until the action moves back to Holmdel Park for the Group Championships on Nov. 13. The Colts 5 man average of 15:33 over the speedy Ocean County Pk. course showed how tough they will be throughout their lineup.
The Pirates of West Windsor-Plainsboro So. also put on a clinic on effective pack running this past week. Coach Kurt Wayton's crew went 2-4-5-6-13 to win the Mercer County meet with 31 poits and a 48 second gap between #'s 1&5. That performance moves South to #2 this week.

Voorhees went over to the new Natirar Park course last Thursday and took the measure of 4 out of last week's Top Ten, including #1 Hillsborough, at the Skylands Conf. meet. After scoring the win in the "Mini MOC", The Lady Vikings ascend to the Top Spot this week.
Hillsborough drops to a tie for #2 along with Red Bank Catholic, who took the always tough Shore Conference handily. All 5 of the Caseys' scorers dipped under 19 min.
The other big move in the rankings came from the kiddie corps. of North Hunterdon, who came away from the powerful Skyland Conf. with a 4th place finish and a ton of respect.
