She was 2nd at Fast Times at Cherokee High and 2nd at the Woodbury Relays. She placed 4th at South Jersey Elite and the 2nd at the Tri-County Conference meet. She placed 2nd at sectionals and 2nd at states.
In the biggest meet of the year? Nobody beat Addison Inge.
Inge, a Williamstown junior, won the Meet of Champions high jump with a 5-6 clearance Wednesday at Pennsauken.
Inge and Moorestown junior I’Mara Ford both cleared 5-0, 5-2 and 5-4 on their 1st attempts, but Inge got over the bar at 5-6 on her 2nd attempt and Ford on her 3rd.
So Inge got the win, Ford placed 2nd, Winslow sophomore Ma’Syiah Brawner tied for 3rd with Clayton senior Alanna Woolfolk – the 2022 and 2023 MoC winner – who both cleared 5-4. Washington Township senior Dahlia Beasley and Willingboro senior Naa’Irah Andrews also cleared 5-4 and tied for 6th.
That’s six South Jersey medalists in the top seven.
Inge is the 3rd Williamstown girl to win a Meet of Champions title. Dana Burnett won the 100 [11.95] and 400 [55.20] in 1996 and Bria Mack the 100 in 2016 and 2017.
Inge first cleared 5-6 at last year’s state Group 3 meet, where she placed 3rd, and she hit 5-6 again last weekend, when she took 2nd at states.
