Shore Coaches

The HMHS boys XC team competed in the Shore Coaches invitational at historic Holmdel park.  The boys competed in various races ranging from freshmen, JV & championship races.   The beauty of Holmdel is that you  can go any where in the world and talk to someone who competed at Holmdel and compare times. 

This year Championship race featured the No. 1 XC team in the nation in CBA & the No 13  in WWPS.  It also had the No. 2  XC runner in the country,  Edward Cheserak from St. Benedict's.  So how did the Dawgs do?  Very well.  They finished 4th!  The team stepped up in a big way.  This years team ran a team avg.  of 17:04.  It saw 5 of the 6 dawgs set PR's.  In some cases it was the first time on the course in a race. 


Halla 10th
 Holmdel has a way of ripping out the souls of many of men.  You can't  go to the line hoping tradition will carry you  to a nice time. If your not ready, this course can break you.  This years Dawgs are getting ready for another late season run, and creating there own tradition.

There is still a lot of work to be done , but if I had to give a mid-term grade  it would have to be an "B"  

Next up the for the dawgs the  SJ open at the sectional course on the campus of Delsea.  This years race will be run on Sunday due to a religious holiday on Saturday. 

See you on the course.
