Pitman’s Sebastian Reed ran a 10K PR Friday after at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Championships at Lehigh.
Reed, a junior, was Monmouth’s No. 2 runner with a 31:07.5. His previous all-course 10,000 PR was a 32:09.4 in last year’s NCAA regional at Penn State.
Reed ran 26:13.2 on Lehigh’s 8,000-meter course at Paul Short in September, so he ran faster per-mile Friday than he did earlier this season over a course that’s 1.24 miles shorter. His pace on the 8K course was 5:16 per mile and Friday it was 5:00 per mile.
Sophomore Declan McDonnell of the Tatnall School in Wilmington, Del., ran 29:59 and was Monmouth’s first finisher.
Delsea grad Noah Deckert, a senior, ran 31:46.7 and was St. Joe’s 3rd finisher, grad student Matthew Coffey of Camden Catholic was the Hawks’ 4th finisher in 32:17.9 and Paul VI’s Colton Johnson, a junior, was St. Joe’s 5th runner in 32:55.5.
Lower Cape May Regional’s Zeb Hinker, a freshman, was Rutgers’ 4th finisher in 31:22.9, and Lehigh’s 5th finisher was freshman Derek Coceano, a freshman from Cinnaminson. He ran 32:39.6.
