New Jersey XC Girls Top 20

September 18th

It's been great to have cross country back in Jersey. Some squads have already kicked off their varsity season, whether on shorter 2-mile courses or full 5K layouts, and others are still waiting to release rewards of their preseason training.

Week 1 Highlights

Week 2 Highlights

As you read through, please note these are not meant to be end-of-season predictions. Especially in the early season, we'll be rewarding victories and strong performances. There will be movement, and teams will rise and fall on these lists as they compete weekly.

These rankings were brought together through discussion between Robert Kellert, Jim Lambert, and Pat Montferrat. They will be released every week, moving through the rest of the season.
