Morristown cross country teams post conference success and state qualifiers
Summary
Coaches highlighted improved times for girls cross country and an undefeated boys squad that won the NJAC National Division title and qualified for group state championships.
Coach Bernardet Companil said the girls cross country season showed marked improvement: the team lowered cumulative race times by more than 20 minutes, earned a third-place finish at the Greystone Invitational and advanced to group championships. Companil noted four student leaders, three of whom will return next season, and praised their academic performance — all four had GPAs of 4.0 or higher.
"The most meaningful measure of success was the individual and collective growth of our athletes," Companil said, listing athlete honors and conference placements. On the boys side, Coach Paul Bacino reported an undefeated season that culminated in the NJAC National Division Conference championship, a Greystone Invite victory and qualification for the New Jersey Group Four State Championships.
Bacino and Companil both tied athletic results to program culture and development, emphasizing next season’s prospects as juniors and returning leaders return. No votes or formal board actions were taken; these remarks were part of a recognition program.
