11/4 NPB State Championships Results-State Champions!!

[Nick]

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!!!
