Delbarton Cross Country turned in a strong performance at the Shore Coaches Invitational on Saturday at Holmdel Park, placing sixth out of 31 teams in the Varsity race with 228 points.

Ryan Leuenberger once again led the way for the Green Wave, finishing 11th overall with a time of 16:56 on the challenging Holmdel course.  Matthew Heyer delivered one of the day's biggest performances, crossing the line in 17:43 and improving his previous Holmdel personal record by approximately one minute.

Freshman Liam Johnson continued his impressive start to his high school career, recording another strong varsity performance with a time of 18:05.  The Green Wave's depth was also on display in the JV race, where Delbarton finished sixth out of 21 teams with 151 points.

Daniel Tuck led the Delbarton pack with a time of 19:06, while Harry Smith was right behind him at 19:08, giving the Green Wave two runners separated by just two seconds.

Saturday's meet provided another opportunity for Delbarton to test itself on the Holmdel Park course as the Green Wave continues to build toward the championship portion of its schedule, beginning next Tuesday in the NJAC Championships.
