Congratulations to the Lady Lion Cross Country team for claiming the NJSIAA/M-F Athletic Meet of Champions team title at Holmdel Park on Saturday, November 18, 2017. This is the first Meet of Champions title since 1986. North Hunterdon currently has won seven Meet of Champions team titles, the second-most behind Red Bank Catholic’s nine.

Chloe Gonzalez led North Hunterdon with a fifth-place finish in 18:30 as the Lions finished 4-8-16-29-43 for 100 points. Emily Nugent ran in 19:08 for 16th with Ellie DiMarcello claiming the 28th-fastest time in 19:27. Samantha Kehler crossed the finish line in 19:58 for 51st as Brenna Talamo ran a 20:17 for the 72nd spot to help the Lions clinch the team title. Angela Kearsley finished in 87 place and Alexandra Carlson finished in 96th place.
