2011 Boys Cross Country All State
The Boys of Fall, 2011 edition, will be long remembered as one of the greatest groups ever, boasting a team National Champion (CBA) and an individual National Champion (Edward Cheserek). CBA's dominance from start to finish, Cheserek's 7 for 8 in CR performances (incl. Holmdel and VCP) and a Meet of Champions that featured 12 runners under the magic 16:00 mark made this HS Cross Country season one for the ages! What a season...What a State!!
