We will dispense with the analysis and comparisons this week since this Saturday at the Shore Coaches Invitational the playing field will be leveled and a more realistic view of where the top teams actually sit will crystalize. The SCI represents a type of "Mid Term Exam" where most of New Jersey's XC squads will see what has been working and what may need to be tweaked.
Let us know what you think. Best of sucess to everyone competing this weekend
