North Hunterdon, the two-time defending N2G4 sectional champion heading into Saturday, made it a three-peat with another dominating performance, tallying 28 points on a 1-2-3-7-15 finish with Elena DiMarcello (18:19), Chloe Gonzalez (18:27) and Emily Nugent (18:31) occupying the top three spots. Angela Kearsley finished seventh in 19:08, Samantha Kehler ran in 19:28 for 15th place, Alexandra Carlson finished 20th place in 19:51 and Brenna Talamo finished in 26th place in 20.10.
While the Lions will celebrate another sectional title, a state championship and an MoC title, something that has been won by sectional rival Ridge the last two years, is still the main goal.
“It means a lot to us. Our team has been working really hard so we’re really excited going into the next meet,” DiMarcello said. “I’m really proud of everyone on the team. Everyone is having a good year and we’re a really deep team.”
“I think it helps us a lot, the last two years we’ve lost at groups and MoCs so I think it gives us more confidence to try and win it this year.”
