Girls’ cross-country runners throughout region thrive at Shore Coaches Invitational

High schools across the state took part in the 2017 New Balance Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park in Holmdel on Oct. 7. Several girls’ cross-country runners in the region stood out during the races.

Varsity D

Matawan Regional High School’s Rachel Kenny won the Girls’ Varsity D race with a time of 19:18.

“I was definitely hoping to win,” Kenny said. “I saw that it was a competitive field, so I knew it would be a tough race. I wanted to see at the beginning how everyone else did and then ease into when I wanted to break away.”

Kenny admitted that the weather that day was a factor. Most of the day was hot and humid.

“It definitely made me think a lot about the race,” Kenny said. “It’s always a little nerve-wracking because if the race is hot, it gets tough. I tried not to be too concerned about it. I stayed in the shade. I drank a lot of water, so it didn’t really affect me too much.”

As a team, Matawan finished sixth in the race with 212 points and had an average time of 21:55.
