Not sure why, but off interviews posted elsewhere, I would like to see Nonpublic B winner Dana Klein do well at MOC.
She was in top ten on times in a less competitive group.
As for the merged results, they are based on time which is not a fair measure of relative ability...competition, course condition may not be constants....but WWP, Randolph and even Ridgewood appear capable of grabbing the girls team title over no. 1 ranked Red Bank Catholic. Of course, RBC might have Ben pulling a CBA and holding back on the throttle a bit.
Among the boys team, even a measured effort by CBA should be enuf but I expect a healthier Levermore to inspire Don Bosco.

Here are the merged results from Saturday: http://nj.milesplit..../results/277488

If you follow Jim Lambert's live blog on nj.com under tab "high school sports" and then select boys or girls cross country from drop down menu you'll get pretty fast results/commentary.

18 second spread for the CBA boys 1-5 was pretty impressive.

Looks like the Red Bank Catholic girls left the door open for West Windsor Plainsboro and Randolph to grab the MOC crown next week. The strength of RBC is that it's pack is tighter. Randolph particularly has to find a way to close 4-5 gap. Of course this off today's stats and there could be a lot of extenuating circumstance.
In the Individual race, Norris got a good tightener today. Gess is a special runner. Norris is a super miler and could hold an edge in the stretch.
Girls race overall could be one of best...forget the times, this will be about strategy and guts.

Gess by 14 seconds, Norris by 9 today.

Who's your pick for MOC?

Here are full TFX Results (they did come from Fraulo Timing)

Without details we don't know if Norris or Gess was pushed. That should tell a lot about next week's probable winner.

It is great that DyeStat is updating like this. Fraulo Timing seems unable to quickly update. NCAA updating was done in 2h.

The few ticks ahead of Gess was in a race where she was pushed hard. Gess wasn't pushed. She's the new Aisling Cuffe for NJ and probably a lot better.

Josette Norris won the Group 3 race in 18:12 -- a few ticks ahead of Gess. That should be a good race at the Meet of Champs.

Don Bosco finished second to CBA as expected, with 63 points.

Mike Higgins was second in 16:00 and Kyle Levermore, in his first race back from injury, was seventh in 16:13. So those two apparently broke up CBA's pack.

CBA's boys won the Non-Public A team title with 24 points and a 16:05 average.

Overall winner was Mike McClemens in 15:56.

I'm not sure why but I can't find them posted yet.

Here's what I can piece together:

Haddonfield's Briana Gess won the Group 2 race in 18:15. That's about 20th best all-time at Holmdel Park.

Haddonfield's boys won the Group 2 team championship.


Tom O'Neill had the performance we've been waiting for all season as he took the Group 2 title in 15:26, No. 8 all-time at Holmdel. And he led Middletown North to the win.

Why cant Running results be posted? Group 2 finished 3h ago

CBA is obviously a huge favorite on the boys side. Kyle Levermore is expected to return after time off with an injury for Don Bosco.

We'll also get to see how freshman phenom Briana Gess stacks up against Josette Norris of Tenafly.
