From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Junior Jordan Moczydlowski, freshman Savannah Vai and sophomore Kelsey Connell swept the top three places and Gloucester County College won its first team title since 2017 at the New Jersey Tech School Championships Wednesday in Pilesgrove Township.

Moczydlowski won the race in 20:28 over 5,000 meters at Salem County Tech, Vai was 2^nd in 21:05 and Connell took 3^rd in 21:30.

Gloucester outscored 2^nd-place Morris County Tech of Denville Township, 19-42. Gloucester placed all seven runners in the top 13.

Senior Jullianna Carroll was 5^th in 21:45 and sophomore Frances Carnevale placed 8^th in 22:41. They were backed up by senior Elizabeth Gordon, 12^th in 23:43, and junior Isabel Guerra, 13^th in 23:48.

Other South Jersey runners in the top 10 were Burlington senior Hailey Fedezko [16^th in 23:58] and Salem sophomore Paityn Harrington [17^th in 24:00].

Last time Gloucester won this meet nine years they edged Passaic County Tech, 57-60 in Newark.

Junior Wyatt Evans and sophomore Shepard Byrne finished 1-2 and Gloucester County College of Deptford Township scored 21 points with a 1-2-4-5-9 finish to win the New Jersey Tech School Championship in Pilesgrove Township.

Evans ran 16:35 and Byrne 16:37 over 5,000 meters at Salem County Tech for Gloucester, which last won the team title in 2023.

Also for Gloucester Tech, junior Kevin Whelan ran 17:15 for 4^th, senior Duke Snyder-Shellito 17:29 for 5^th and sophomore A.J. Trampe placed 9^th in 18:14.

Other South Jersey runners in the top 10: Burlington senior Chris Davis [3^rd in 16:58], Salem sophomore Levi Seals [6^th in 17:34], Salem senior Anthony Morano [7^th in 17:53] and Salem senior Jean-Pierre Pozo [8^th in 18:05].

Gloucester outscored 2^nd-place Salem, 21-51, with two-time defending champion Passaic County Tech of Wayne.

With sectionals coming up in four days, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the closest meets in South Jersey sectional history.

There have been eight meets that have come down to a 6th-runner tiebreaker, three on the boys side but none since 2009 and five in the girls meet but none since 2010.

Here’s what I came up with for every sectional race decided by 10 or fewer points!

On Monday we posted the DREAM Park all-time boys performance list and we were apparently missing only one name, so that’s not too bad! Here’s the girls list, topped by Addison Weiss’s course-record 17:46.86 at last year’s Olympic Conference Championships.

Weiss is also fastest this year at DREAM Park with her 18:12.13 at the South Jersey Open.

The only other girls under 19 minutes on the 5,00-meter layout in Logan Township, Gloucester County, are freshman Addison Sheehy of Toms River East, who ran 18:53 at the South Jersey Shootout, and Weiss’s teammate, Ryleigh Budsock, who ran 18:59.19 at the South Jersey Open. Glassboro’s Keira Epstein was close with a 19:00.58 at the Tri-County Showcase.

As always holla if you see anybody missing or any mistakes! Thank you!

More lists coming later this week!

We’re now in the 9th year of DREAM Park being used as the primary invitational XC course in South Jersey and Saturday will be the 9th year the Logan Township course will be used for sectionals, which had previously been held at Delsea since 2002. Before that, they were at Williamstown in 2000 and 2001, Egg Harbor in 1999, Kingsway 1993 through 1999, Westampton Tech 1989 through 1992, Mill Creek Park in Willingboro in 1988, Cherokee in 1987, Clearview 1984 through 1986, Camden County College in 1982 and 1983 and Pennsauken from 1965 through 1981.

When DREAM Park is dry and puddle-free and mud-free it’s probably the fastest of all the sectional courses, although Delsea was certainly a speedway. Unfortunately, the course hasn’t been in good shape this year and only three South Jersey boys have run sub-16 so far this year at DREAM – Trevor Szilier ran 15:37 at the South Jersey Shootout, Cian Sherlock 15:55 at the South Jersey Open and Joe Saicic 15:57 at the Tri-County Showcase.

Haddonfield’s George Andrus remains the only boy to run sub-15 at DREAM Park. He set the course record 14:58.79 at the 2022 Group 2 Sectional race. If the course is in good shape this weekend, we should see at least dozen runners under 16 minutes.

Group 1 boys start the day Saturday at 10 a.m. and Group 3 girls finish at 1:30 p.m.

Over the next few days leading up to Saturday we’ll have all-time top single-race team times as well as fastest composite teams. Girls all-time performance list coming tomorrow!

As always errors and omissions let me know and I will fix it ASAP!

Junior Connor Brand was the overall winner and led five Haddonfield scorers in the top seven – and seven in the top 11 – at the Colonial Conference Championships in West Deptford.

Brand ran 16:07, finishing about 20 seconds ahead of 2^nd-place John Robinson of Audubon, who ran 16:28.

Senior Andrew Blum was 3^rd in 16:32, sophomore Logan Tripician was 4^th in 16:34, junior Graham Dodson 6^th in 16:52 and sophomore Nathan Bollard 7^th in 16:58 for the Bulldogs, who outscored 2^nd-place Haddon Township 21-77.

Junior Luke Lindner and sophomore Lucas Larson backed up Haddonfield’s top five in 9^th and 11^th in 17:07 and 17:12.

Haddonfield has won seven straight conference titles since team scoring resumed in 2020 but unofficially has won a lot more than that – probably 19. It looks like the last time Haddonfield wouldn’t have had the lowest team score was 2007, when Haddon Heights went 1-2 with Josh Black and Mickey Borsellino and would have won 28-36 over Haddonfield. But when there’s no team scoring, teams aren’t necessarily trying to win the meet and might not use their top lineup, so who knows? If it were up to me, every meet would have team scoring.

Haddon Township packed its top five in 14 seconds from 17:29 through 17:43. That group included a junior, three sophomores and a freshman.

Anyway, also in the top 10 were West Deptford senior Lane McClintock [5^th in 16:44], Sterling senior Brady Kay [8^th in 17:02] and Sterling senior Giovanni Fuchs [10^th in 17:09].

Others under 18 minutes over 5,000 meters at West Deptford Park: Woodbury junior Elijah Smith [12^thin 17:24], Haddon Township sophomore Kieran Adams [13^th in 17:29], Haddon Township freshman Ryan Luke [14^th in 17:31], Haddonfield junior Ian Rodriguez [15^th in 17:32], Haddon Township junior James Strimel [16^th in 17:34], Haddonfield senior Lucas Laganella [17^th in 17:35], Paulsboro senior Jeffrey Taylor [18^th in 17:37], Haddon Township sophomore Bryce Davis [19^th in 17:42], Haddon Township sophomore Simon Pierwola [20^th in 17:43], Sterling senior Brody Sinon [21^st in 17:43], Haddon Township sophomore Isaiah Williams [22^nd in 17:55] and Sterling junior Connor Zane [23^rd in 17:58].

Bucknell junior Shaelan McNally from Paul VI finished 200 meters ahead of the field and won the 4,000-meter race Friday at the Bison Open in East Buffalo Township.

McNally ran 13:13:34 over the 4K Bucknell Golf Club course, which is 16:59 pace for 5,000 meters and won by 44 seconds over teammate Anna Kylish.

Bucknell races in the Patriot Conference Championships next Saturday on the Bucknell Golf Club’s 6,000-meter course. McNally was 2^nd last year with a 6K all-coure best of 20:39 and is the top returning finisher.

Although most of Bucknell is in Lewisburg, Pa,, the XC course is in East Buffalo Township, Union County.

Sophomore Keira Epstein on Thursday became the Glassboro girl in meet history to win the Tri-County Conference Showcase.

Epstein, a 1^st-year runner, ran an all-course best 19:00 at DREAM Park in Logan Township to become Glassboro’s first conference winner since the meet’s inception in 1986.

Her previous 5,000-meter best was a 19:21 at West Deptford Park last Thursday. That was her first race under 20 minutes.

Epstein won by nearly half a minute over Kingsway junior Kaitlyn Orazi, who was 2^nd in 19:24. Senior Katelyn Gallinaro and senior Aubrey Bishop placed 3^rd and 4^th in 19:27 and 19:34 and Kingsway, with six in the top 11 (and top 9 in team scoring) won the team title 20-88 over Highland.

Glassboro hadn’t even had a girl in the top 10 in the conference meet in 39 years. In the 1987 meet at Kingsway, Charlette Washington placed 4^th for a 2^nd straight year in 19:57.

For Kingsway, freshman Aubrey Scheeper was 7^th in 20:25, freshman Alyssa Stankovich was 10^th in 20:47 and 6^th runner senior Ava Buchanan was 11^th in 20:48.

Also in the top 10 were Woodstown junior Abby Marino [5^th in 20:07], Williamstown senior Julia Burgio [6^th in 20:19], Delsea sophomore Brooke Mashburn [8^th in 20:40], Gloucester County Tech junior Jordan Moczydlowski [9^th in 20:44].

Also under 22 minutes: Highland sophomore Isabella Prendergast [12^th in 20:49], Clearview senior Julianne Roes [13^th in 21:04], Highland junior MaKayla McHutchison [14^th in 21:14], Williamstown sophomore Kennedy Hartwyk [15^th in 21:31], Gloucester Tech freshman Savannah Vai [16^th in 21:40], Clearview senior Leah Hagerman [17^th in 21:46], Highland senior Toni-Loren Powell [18^th in 21:49], Woodstown freshman Reese Madiraca [19^th in 21:56] and Pennsville junior Sawyer Slad [20^th in 21:58].
