Welcome to the Blair Academy Girls' Cross-Country
page! Led by tri-captains Heather Britt, Quinn McKay and Nikki
Weiner, the 2009 team hopes to build upon the outstanding record
of last year’s successful squad. High school cross-country
races take place over five kilometers (3.1 miles), and Blair
is lucky to have on its campus one of the most challenging,
interesting and beautiful courses in the state of New Jersey.
Every year we enter several invitationals — at Newark
Academy, at the Canterbury School in Connecticut and at the
Shore Coaches meet on the famed Holmdel course — in addition
to our dual meet schedule against traditional rivals Lawrenceville,
Hun, Peddie and the Hill School, among others. At the end of
the season we compete for both the MAPL (Mid Atlantic Prep
League) championship on the Peddie golf course as well as the
New Jersey Prep A championship held on our very own course
at Blair. We close the season on "Peddie Day," when
every Blair team competes against its counterpart from the
Peddie School with the Kelley-Potter Cup at stake. The camaraderie
and competitive spirit engendered on the girls' cross-country
team make for a rewarding experience for all runners. Girls
interested in joining the team should contact Mr. Browse at browsl@blair.edu.
