Speaker Series
Race to College
South Jersey XC Speaker Series
Hosted by: The Bonnette Ross Group of Merrill Lynch
Where: Mt. Laurel Corporate Park, 1200 Howard Blvd, 3rd Flr, Mt Laurel, NJ (off of Route 73)
When: Wednesday, October 6th and Tuesday, October 26th
Time: 7:00PM
The Road to College is challenging. Getting in is hard. Staying in is harder. Affording it is harder yet. But the race is a marathon not a sprint. Come hear the area’s finest University Coaches, Runners, College Admissions and Financial Aid Officers and Health Care Professionals speaking to the South Jersey running community on Training, Tactics, Healthcare, Nutrition, Admissions and Financial Aid, issues specifically affecting Middle and High School runners. All runners will have access to the very best professionals South Jersey has to offer. This speaker series will offer real-time solutions on how to prepare for the race, temper the pace, gauge the distance to the finish line and achieve better results in all areas. Each session will involve a 30-minute multimedia presentation by a featured speaker, a Q&A period, short presentations by experts, and then breakout sessions to address personal concerns with these professionals. Moderator will be Breton W. Bonnette, Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch and Paul VI Head Boys’ XC Coach.
All donations will go towards funding the Bonnette Ross Group Scholarship which will be awarded to both a boy and girl XC runner from the local area. See www.pvixc.com for details. Last year’s winners were Philip Fanz (St. Augustine) and Brooke Dovell (Timber Creek). Please direct any questions (exact itinerary, concerns, etc.) to Breton Bonnette at Breton_Bonnette@ml.com.

Hello my name is Nicholas Bruno. I’m from Williamstown Highschool and I currently run cross country. I’m in my senior year, but it is my first time doing cross country. however I’ve had experience in spring track for both my sophmore and junior year. Ive taken such an interest in track and field that i wish to continue this through college. I am currently ranked as the 3rd top runner on the team. I have alot of potential and im interested in participating in this program. I hope I will be able to make the Oct 6th date. If im not able to make it there, is there still a way i can go to the next date and/or still get the vital information that will be explained at the event? Please contact me as soon as you can. Thank you.
