2009 Tri-captains Heather Britt '10, Nikki Weiner '10 and Quinn McKay '11

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.
