Southern Ocean County’s girls cross-country runners had an awesome day on Nov. 3. In addition to a pair of individuals from Barnegat High School, both the Southern and Pinelands teams qualified for Saturday’s NJSIAA group championships at Holmdel Park.

In South Jersey Group IV, Southern continued its solid season with an excellent five-runner effort from senior Gianna Citarella, juniors Emily Furlong, Jaelyn D’Amelio and Alexa Mulch, and freshman Rachel Short.
