A truly astonishing weekend at nationals for Lenape in 2012 with two South Jersey records that still stand today!
We’ll get to the DMR in the next day or two (and Lenape earned all-America status in four events that weekend!), but today the focus is on the 4-by-800, with Lenape and Haddonfield taking 12 of the top 16 spots
Eight years ago, Lenape – with the team of Camille Franklin, Emily McGee, Amanda Restivo and Natalia Ocasio – placed fourth at nationals in Greensboro in the 4-by-8 with a time of 9:05.62.
That broke Lenape’s own South Jersey mark of 9:05.83 set four years earlier with Moira Cunningham, Miya Johnson, Brianna Beddall and Caitlin Orr at the Lenox Fast Times Relays at Warwick Valley High in Warwick, N.Y.
Those two marks, set by the same school four years apart with completely different lineups, are still No. 1 and 2 in South Jersey history!
Incredibly, five schools are responsible for the 16-fastest times in South Jersey history: Haddonfield [7], Lenape [5], Seneca [2], Ocean City [1] and Kingsway [1].
