Haddonfield graduate Martin Riddell, a freshman at Yale, ran a 5,000 PR Saturday, placing 18th out of nearly 100 runners in the 18th annual Central Connecticut State University Mini Meet.
Riddell covered the course at Stanley Quarter Park in New Britain, Conn., in 15:21.
He was Yale’s fifth finisher, helping the Eli win the team title, 47-56, over the host Blue Devils.
Riddell’s previous all-course XC PR for a 5,000-meter course was 15:22 at the 2019 Colonial Conference All-Star meet at Pennypacker Park in Haddonfield.
