Northern Burlington junior Liliah Gordon made the trip to North Carolina worth it with a 5,000-meter PR in the Great American Cross Country Festival girls championship race at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., outside Raleigh.

Gordon, racing some of the top girls in the country, placed 17th in a field of 320 girls with an all-course PR of 17:53.6.

Her previous 5K PR was a 17:56.10 at the Burlington County Scholastic League Championships last October at New Egypt High School in Plumstead Township, Ocean County.

Gordon has run 10:38.20 for 3,200 meters and is a two-time state Group 3 champ at 3,200 meters and defending state Group 3 champ in cross country.

On Friday, Gordon will look for her 2nd straight Burlington County Open title at Mill Creek Park in Willingboro. The course record is 17:53 set in 2010 by Megan Lacy of Cherokee.
