Here are the results of this morning’s SJTCA meet from Ocean Breeze. Today was the sprinters’ turn to compete on one of the fastest track surfaces in indoor track up in Staten Island. There were some very strong performances for the first meet of the season for the sprinters which will only improve as we progress through the season. Not only a great way to end the year, but a great beginning to the rest of the season in the new year! Well done to all!

Here are the results of this afternoon's Meet of Championships competition at Holmdel Park. It was another crisp autumn day and fantastic day for racing fast at Holmdel. After an incredible race last weekend, we absolutely earned our spot on the line with the other most elite teams of New Jersey! It was an incredibly fast race as soon as the starting pistol sounded, however, we ran extremely well and held on despite the speed of the race. For more than a third of the year we trained immensely hard to achieve a dream run to exit the cross country season with the state title...and as Coach Grady had perfectly put it, "Mission Accomplished!" Although it is sad to see this dream season come to a close, we look very much forward to continuing this championship mindset and success into the winter and spring track seasons! We are all so incredibly proud of you and your accomplishments! Look back on this season with pride that you not only went the distance but came out on top! Up the Crusaders!!!

Anya qualified for the Meet of Champions held on Saturday.

Here are the results of this morning’s NJSIAA State Championships at Holmdel Park. It was a perfect weather day and our athletes were dialed in and focused on their one and only goal…to be at the top of the podium. It was their peak race and everything they have been training for since mid-summer and they were ready to give the performance of the season and the performance of their careers. The boys ran fearlessly and confidently in an extremely competitive race in a very tough course. And in a race where we needed all 5 of our runners to preform at their best, we had all 5 of our runners preform at their best! Everyone kept close the goal they had at hand and everyone ran what they needed to run which resulted in a 2nd and 5th place finish, and huge Holmdel PRs…including an outstanding time at Holmdel for our sole freshman who had never experienced the course in either competition or training! All of these pieces fit perfectly into place which ultimately resulted in us taking home the NPB State Championship title! Along with this championship, we also take with us the honor of now being the South Jersey team with third most state championship titles and also the All State Non Public team with the third most state championship titles! Absolutely outstanding to all of you, boys! Your hard work and dedication and laser focus was an inspiration to everyone who followed your journey throughout the season! We are so proud of you and are grateful to have been with you all this season! We look forward to not only continuing our season for another week to have a great showing at the Meet of Champions, but we cannot wait to work with you all in the track & field seasons! Congratulations, lads!! Up the Crusaders!!!

Here are the results of this morning's Bob Kiessling Invitational meet at Dream Park. It was our final Dream Park meet of the season and our last opportunity to run on a fast, flat course. We ran incredibly well with 3 finishing in the top 10 and 2 huge PRs! More importantly, it was a huge day for the team as a whole to really show that they can work extremely well together and improve together. We are more than ready for our state championship race next Saturday at Holmdel!!
