Register For The Brooks XC Northeast Region Championship

The Northeast region have had their fair share of success at Balboa Park over the last couple of years and this season should be no different.

New Jersey leads the way with three girls ranked in the top 5 of the first Northeast regional rankings. Blair Bartlett (The Lawrenceville School) owns the fastest time in the region, having run a 16:16.71 earlier this month, and should be the one everybody is chasing at next months meet.

Leah Starkey (Ocean Township) and Paige Sheppard (Union Catholic) are ranked 4th and 5th in today's rankings and have set their most recent season bests' over the last two weeks of racing, making them viable threats to also qualify to San Diego in December.

While there is plenty of talent in this area of the country, New Jersey's triple threat should be three you are keeping a careful eye on with just one month before the November event.
