2001 Cross Country 

Girls Results

Season Highlights:  The team was coached by Bryan Parks and assisted by Jim Schlentz.  The team finished with a dual meet record of 5 wins and 1 loss both overall and in the A Central division of the Shore Conference, finishing 2nd behind Holmdel.  Team highlights included winning the Freehold District Championship for the 1st time and finishing 5th in the Central Jersey Group II Championship to qualify for the state meet.  The team finished 10th in the State Group II Championship.  Individual highlights included Ashley Liberatore's 2nd place and Lianne Price's 4th place finishes at the Freehold Regional District Championships.  This year we had our best team average ever at Holmdel Park and the team included only one senior so we all look forward to next year. 

Post-Season Highlights:  Ashley Liberatore and Lianne Price were named to the All-Freehold District 1st team.  Danielle Plenzo, Melanie Mahoney, and Amy Lewis were all named honorable mention All-Freehold District.
