South Jersey heads up to Holmdel tomorrow for the 54th annual Meet of Champions at Holmdel County Park. There’s been a South Jersey girl in the top 25 at the MoC every year since the meet’s inception, other than 1975, when the first South Jersey finisher was Rancocas Valloey’s Kathy Christman in 29th. Safe bet there will be multiple South Jersey girls in the top 25 Saturday.
I’ll have all-time boys and girls team results later today, but here’s a look at every South Jersey runner that’s ever finished in the top 25 in the MoC girls race.
