The runners-up from last year's Nike Cross Nationals, the Christian Brothers Academy boys of New Jersey lose some key pieces from that squad, but return several key contributors and quickly get reinforced by a strong and deep JV squad last fall to put them back into contention as one of the top national programs to look out for in the coming 2014 season. The CBA boys will be led by New Jersey Meet of Champions outdoor 3200 meter winner Blaise Ferro, while have a remaining top 5 who have run 9:30 or faster on the track for 3200 behind Ferror with a 9:08 best.
