Just three days after racing at Foot Locker Nationals, Northern Burlington junior Liliah Gordon took advantage of her cross country fitness and opened her indoor season with the 3rd-fastest time in the U.S. in the 3,200.
Gordon ran 10:56.44 Tuesday night in the SJTCA #2 meet at the Bubble in Toms River. She ran unpressed, finishing nearly a minute and a half ahead of the field
The only faster times this year according to the MileSplit database are 10:54.91 by Emma Brooke Levering of Homewood (Ala.) High in a meet in Birmingham and 10:56.34 by Abigail Anstett of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory in Washington, D.C., in a meet in Alexandria, Va.
Gordon’s indoor PR is 10:38.20 from last year’s Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze. That’s No. 6 in South Jersey history and No. 18 in state history. It was also No. 4 nationally by a sophomore.
Moorestown junior Noelia Reyes placed 2nd in an indoor-PR 12:21.29.
