Season's Highlights

This being the 10th season of the Girls' X-Country team ,it seemed to be even more special when the girls brought home the 1st ever North Jersey II, Group 3 Championship in its history, giving them the honor to be included in the Morris Hills Hall of Fame.  It allowed Coach Toepert/Wagner to depart from the sport on a high note.  In the muddy , rainy, cold  conditions of Warinanco Park, the entire team, especially those girls who ran our 5,6,&7 spots ran like the champions they had trained to be.  Next time you're in MHHS, go check out the plaque in the Hall of Fame to see these "old ladies" who brought home the first honors to be received by this team.
