Founders say they are searching for temporary and permanent spaces -- but CBA won't be Trinity's new home.
At its first public event in Lincroft, the founders of the all-girls school Trinity Hall announced they are engaged in discussions with Middletown officials about potentially opening their school on a site within the township in fall 2013. The founders made the announcement before 150 people at an International Day of the Girl event held Thursday night at Christian Brothers Academy. The event served as a preview for the documentary called 10X10, which highlights the education of 10 girls in 10 developing countries, set to be released this spring. Parents with daughters ranging in age from preschool through eighth grade filled about half of the CBA theater. Trinity Hall supporters working the event handed out posters that read "Girls + …

The Holmdel boy's cross-country is aiming to keep pace with nationally-ranked CBA and be the best public school team in New Jersey.
The Holmdel boys cross-country season began last Friday at Ocean County Park, and the team is looking to be one of the top teams in New Jersey. After finishing 11th at the Meet of Champions last year, Holmdel is aiming for a high finish again and even talking about qualifying for Nike Nationals, which rival Christian Brothers Academy won last year. “We talk about winning another state title, being the best public school team in New Jersey, possibly qualifying for Nike Nationals, those are all things that are important to us,” head coach Sean McCafferty said. “But my main goal is that the kids train properly, work hard, have a positive attitude, and when those races come up they are as ready as they can possibly be.” Holmdel is led this …

Holmdel resident and CBA grad Pete Yurkowski competes in 'Survivor: Philippines,' which premieres Wednesday on CBS at 8 p.m.
Pete Yurkowski, 24, of Holmdel, will be competing on the 25th season of the 'Survivor' series, which premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS. "I never thought I'd be on a TV show," Yurkowski said. "I had just graduated college and my mom was telling me to get a job. I saw the application for 'Survivor' and sent them a tape and bio and they called me back." Yurkowski, an engineering graduate, was a fan of the show when it first came out and thought he would be a good fit for it. "I love sports, love physical activity, it's dangerous, they put you in the middle of nowhere, it's a strategy game and I'm good at lying and manipulating people," Yurkowski said. "I saw no problem in trying to manipulate people to go for a million dollars." …

Win in Oregon completes a dream season for the unbeatable runners.
CBA is now officially the best cross country team the nation!
