Latta Browse, Head Coach

Congratulations Eliza Lawless ’14 and Morgan Klein ’13 for being named to the All MAPL team for 2011!

Welcome to the Blair Academy girls’ cross-country page! The team had a successful 2011 campaign, winning the Newark Invitational and finishing in second place in the MAPL. With nine returning letter-winners the Bucs look forward to the 2012 season and beyond. 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. During the past fall we entered several invitationals – at Newark Academy, at the Canterbury School in Connecticut, at the Shore Coaches Invitational over the famed course at Holmdel Park – 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 competed 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 closed the season in Hightstown with a dual meet victory against the Peddie School, joining all the other Blair teams competing against Peddie on “Peddie Day,” vying for the Kelley-Potter Cup that symbolizes the winner of the overall athletic competition between the two schools. 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.
