From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Kingsway junior Nicole Lipieta ran the 8th-fastest 3,200 in Gloucester County history Friday night at the Holmdel Twilight Series Night of 3200s.

Lipieta placed 6th in a loaded field in 10:55.18, No. 8 in the state this year and No. 1 in South Jersey. Her previous PR was 11:06.14 last year at the Cherokee Night of 3200s.

Lipieta is the third Kingsway girl to run under 11 minutes, joining Chelsea Ley, who ran 10:19.31 when she won the 2009 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield, and Rachel Vick, who ran 10:29.28 when she won the 2017 state Group 4 race at Egg Harbor.

The race at Holmdel produced seven of the 10-fastest 3,200 times in the state this year. Red Bank Catholic’s Cate DeSousa won in 10:25.54, 2nd-fastest in New Jersey this year behind Angelina Perez’s 10:17.71 on Friday in Clifton.
