The Egg Harbor girls broke the Atlantic County DMR record at Easterns Tuesday night with the fastest indoor time by South Jersey school in three years.
EHT ran 12:11.47 for fourth place at the 87th annual Easterns at the Armory, finishing behind only Cornwall (11:55.48), Colts Neck (11:58.89) and Lawrenceville School (12:04.49).
We have splits but not exactly sure who ran what. We’re going to guess Isabella Leak led off with THE 3:40.5, junior Jayidyn Mulloy ran the 63.8 for 400 and Anna Rutledge ran the 2:21.6 split for 800, setting up Olivia Shafer’s 5:05.5 anchor.
But those names could be wrong! Perhaps Shafer ran the 1,200 and Leak the 1,600? Or someone else ran the 400 and 800?
If those names are wrong and you can share who ran what, please let us know in the comments section and we’ll fix this!
EHT’s time is No. 11 in South Jersey history and No. 5 in the state this year, behind only Colts Neck and Lawrenceville from the same Easterns race and Westfield with a 12:03.36 last weekend, also at the Armory.
That’s also No. 14 in the U.S. according to the MileSplit national database.
What was the previous Atlantic County record? I have no idea, but I can tell you it was over 12:30. There’s no record of any Atlantic County school going under 12:30 indoors ever.
In fact, the fastest outdoor time I could find was EHT’s 12:37.33 at the 2015 Rowan Invitational.
