Congratulations to junior Cross Country runner TJ Harkins, who qualified this weekend for the NJSIAA Cross Country Meet of Champions (MOC). TJ finished 3rd overall in Non-Public B with a time of 17:27. By finishing 3rd , TJ distinguished himself as having the highest individual finish that Immaculata has ever had at the Non-Public B State Meet. This will be TJ’s second trip to the MOCs, having also qualified as a sophomore. The Meet of Champions will be held at 11:00 AM next Saturday, November 17, 2018 at Holmdel Park.
According to Coach Chris Heibell, “TJ ran a smart, tactical race and executed the plan perfectly. He was running for place, not time. Next week at the Meet of Champions, the plan is to really let loose and go after it, have some fun, and see where he stacks up against the best runners in the state. We are Spartan Proud and will be rooting for him to do very well.”
