The 2016 Cross Country season is rapidly getting closer to the end. With just under a month left of the regular season before Nationals, high school teams all across the country are preparing for the final and most important meets of the year. On the east coast, high schools in New Jersey are training extensively for the NJSIAA Sectional Championships next Saturday, November 12, at Holmdel Park. That race will 160 (80 boys/girls), top teams in New Jersey, going at it, for the Sectional Championship. Personally, I'm looking forward to this race. Holmdel is a tough course and the fact that there are so many teams involved in this race, surely doesn't make it any easier for the runners. Don Bosco Prep, suffered a tough setback last weekend, falling to Indian Hills at the Bergen County Meet of Champions at Darlington Park. It was the first time in a decade that the Ironmen failed to bring the title home. Knowing the importance of this race, and the tension that my former teammates are under, they definitely have something to prove next weekend. Like I said before in the post earlier this week on Halloween, in order for us to have a good and successful race next weekend, Bosco needs to put aside that failure at Darlington and completely forget about it. This is a new race, and the last thing we need is for last weekend to distract us from the task at hand. Bosco has extremely tough competition next weekend, and the races are only going to get more and more tough and frequent as the season winds down. The article I've posted, displays the details of this race and it also contains a link that leads to an article, ranking the top 20 individual runners in New Jersey. Our very own, David Rosas, who is a senior, is ranked at #2. David is finishing up his final year of cross country with a bang. He won the Bergen County Meet of Champions last weekend and he's put on outstanding performances in numerous races such as 4th place in the Puma Invitational in Carlisle, PA, and 6th place at the Manhattan Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park. Congratulations to David, and good luck to the Ironmen for the next two weeks. You can do it!
