It had been a decade since the Pinelands Regional girls cross-country team landed two runners among the top 12 during the NJSIAA South Jersey sectional meet. Rory Krier and Summer Sprague ended the Wildcats’ drought on Nov. 2.

“My goal was to finish somewhere within 19 minutes,” said Krier, the Pinelands freshman who recorded a time of 20 minutes, 20.10 seconds to place ninth overall in SJ Group 2 at DREAM Park in Logan Township.
