Kyle Skiendzielewski finished among the top three in Ocean County for the first time in his career, but the Southern Regional boys cross-country team didn’t claim the top spot as a team this year. The Rams finished second with 77 points in the Ocean County Championships on Oct. 15, 26 behind champion Point Pleasant Borough.

The Rams were led by the senior, who finished fourth in last year’s county race at Ocean County Park in Lakewood.
