New poll
-
- November
- 22
It’s been awhile, but I think it’s about time for a new poll. I’m posting on location in Boston. With this weekend off I thought I would take a trip up to Boston with my wife to see her family. And I figured with the season basically finished and as we move onto to the indoor track season, let’s take a minute to look back at this cross country year.
Before we move on to the new poll, as has been customary we’ll take a look at the results of the last poll. At sectionals, it seems as 26 percent of you felt as though Suffern beating two of the top ten teams in the state was the biggest story of that day. I can’t say that I disagree – that was still one of the biggest upsets I think you could see at a meet like that. Pearl River winning its 30th straight title came in second with 15 percent. That’s an incredible accomplishment for that team. Irvington’s come from behind win over Dobbs Ferry finished third in the poll
Now on to the new poll. With the season all but finished, who do you think had the best season in Section 1. There were a lot of choices and at times it was difficult to limit the choices. But as always feel free to add your own choices and make a pitch for whoever you feel is most deserving.
