Haddonfield juniors Sarah Naticchia, Allison Colflesh and Payton Weiner all ran indoor PRs of at least six seconds and swept the 1,600 at sectionals.
Naticchia ran 5:06.90, Colflesh 5:08.17 and Weiner 5:12.74 and swept the first three spots at the South Jersey Group 2 meet at the Bennett Center Saturday morning.
Naticchia’s previous indoor PR was a 5:13.84 from states last year. Colflesh’s was a 5:20.06 from a meet in December at the Armory. And Weiner’s was 5:19.54 from states in 2018.
Colflesh actually ran below her outdoor PR of 5:07.01 as well.
Haddonfield also has junior Lindsay Colflesh, who has run 5:24.02 this year and 5:17.80 outdoors.
Hopefully a four-mile relay is in this group’s future!
Naticchia, Colflesh and Weiner ran the three-fastest times in South Jersey so far this year. They’re No. 6, No. 9 and No. 19 in the state.
