The Crossroads Middle School cross country teams both managed to take their talents a long way this fall, which is kind of what you want from cross country teams to begin with. The Crossroads girls team raced to a 9-0 dual meet record this year, defeating such teams as Hillsborough, Sandburg, West Windsor, Salk, Millstone, Grover and Chapin. Meanwhile, the boys team went 8-2 and showed tremendous improvement over the course of the season. "The girls really worked hard this year, and every one of them signif­ icantly improved their times from the beginning of the season until the end," girls coach Cari Ashford said. "Our record truly was a team effort. The Vikings were led by seventh-grader Lauren White, who posted the second best time Crossroads history. Other runners who helped the scoring cause included Stephanie Haddad. Alison Rossi, Christie O'Laughlin. Pam Weiss, Katie Vetere, Suguna Sridhar and Sari Kauf­ man. "Despite their aches, pains and injuries, these ladies persevered, com­ ing out every day and working hard," Ashford said. "And when someone was out with an injury , the runners in the back really picked up the pace 10 make up for those who were missing." Other members of the team included Amanda Gogolin. Erica Howell. Melanie Hunter, Laurie Kamm, Kate Morowitz. Catherine Patlazhan, Krystal Rodriguez, Tanya Toth, Morghan Transue. Amy Tsui and Mar­ garet Vemola. As for the boys, they ran their 11-year overall record to a phenomenal 93-12 w ith their 8-2 mark. Coach Brian Young feels many of this year’s eighth-grade squad will be able to help the already powerful South Brunswick High .School boy’s cross country team in the years to come. Crossroads ended its season with a third-place finish at the Stuart Country Day Invitational, as Ryan O’Laughlin finished fourth out of 100 runners. O'Laughlin's accomplishments were more impressive consider­ ing it w;is the first year of competitive running for the eighth-grader. By Staff photos by John Keating placing third.
