Kingsway senior Rachel Vick continued her miraculous 2017 outdoor season Friday with a personal-best 4:49.26 win in the state Group 4 meet at Egg Harbor Township.
Vick lowered her 1,600 PR from 4:52.88 and improved on her No. 6 spot on the all-time South Jersey list.
Vick now has personal-bests of 2:13.00, 4:49.26 and 10:32.53. She’s one of only six runners in state history to run 2:13, sub-4:50 and sub-10:35 at any point in her career.
