Williamstown’s Anna Sasse, a senior, and Washington Township’s Ally Wernik, a sophomore, finished 8th and 12th out of nearly 200 runners Saturday and helped the Rowan women win the NCAA Division 3 Metro Region Championship in Galloway Township.

The regional title is the first ever for the Rowan women and earned the Profs an auto bid to the NCAA Division 3 Championships Saturday in Indiana.

Rowan was ranked No. 1 in the Metro Region and lived up to its ranking by outscoring No. 2 Swarthmore 81-86.

Rowan went 6-8-12-15-40, and Swarthmore was 9-10-11-17-39 so the two teams were within three spots for all five scorers.

Sasse ran 22:18.9 over 6,000 meters at Stockton University, and Wernik ran 22:50.4.

Grad student Mia Guerra from Hasbrouck Heights led the Profs in 6th place in 22:17.1. Junior Gabriella Pagano from Pope John XXIII [15th in 23:03.3] and sophomore Emily Zanni from Sherwood High in Olney, Md. [42nd in 23:54.8] were Rowan’s 4th and 5th scorers.

Also in the top 20 was Savannah Hodgens, a TCNJ sophomore from Mainland Regional. Hodgens placed 18th in 23:13.8.

Stockton’s No. 2 runner was post-grad Amanda McNally from Seneca, who ran 23:29.2 and finished 30th.

The NCAA Division 3 nationals women’s race is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at the Laverne Gibson Championship Course in Grange Corner, Ind., outside Terre Haute.

The top teams in each of 10 regionals earn auto bids to nationals and 22 at-large teams will also be invited, with the full field scheduled to be announced on Monday.

This will be Rowan’s 4th trip to nationals. The 1994 team placed 11th at Lehigh and the Profs also placed 26th and 27th in 2011 and 2012.

That 1994 group, coached by legendary Bill Fritz, was led at nationals by Cherry Hill East’s Antoinette Elton of Cherry Hill East in 29th and Suzanne Mergner of Colonia in 34th. Marcia Baker of Newark West Side, Pitman’s Janet Rue, Buena’s Michelle Garbeil, Kingsway’s Erica More and Bronawyn Hagan of Keansburg were also on that 1994 Rowan team.

Cherokee, Ocean City and Paul VI placed 6th, 7th and 8th at the Meet of Champions Saturday morning at Holmdel, the 1st time in 28 years three South Jersey schools all finished among the top eight in the state.

A parochial school that draws students from all over North Jersey won with 80 points. Cherokee was 6th with 182, Ocean City 7th with 206 and Paul VI 8th with 208.

South Jersey had three top-8 schools six times – all in a row from 1990 through 1996. We’ll take a look at thoes finishes later in this post.

Cherokee’s 6th-place finish equals the Chiefs’ 2nd-best all-time. They won the 2021 meet and they were also 6th in 2010.

Ocean City’s 7th-place finish is their best since the 2003 team was 5th. They were also 4th in 1987 and 1988.

And Paul VI, competing as a team for the first time 2003, had its best finish since the 1996 team placed 7th. PVI was also 2nd in 1990, 5th in 1991, 3rd in 1992, 5th in 1993, 7th in 1994, 8th in 1995, so this is their 9th time in the top 8.

Senior Megan Niglio led Cherokee in 17th place in 19:09, with junior Madeline Meder 28th in 19:32. Freshman Erin Healy [71st in 20:14.29], senior Grace Wojciechowski [115th in 20:56.69] and junior Maya Kumar [127th in 21:26.73] also scored for the Chiefs. For team scoring purposes, they ran 6th, 14th, 36th, 58th and 68th.

Ocean City raced without No. 1 runner Maeve Smith, who has been battling injuries, but still had its best finish in more than two decades. Senior Chloe Care ran 20th in 19:19.43, sophomore Carly Godfrey placed 48th in 19:56.45, freshman Riley Tolson was 65th in 20:08.62, senior Zoe Zammit was 121st in 21:08.15 and sophomore Lillian Flora 134th in 21:36.16. Their team scores were 9th, 25th, 34th, 63rd and 75th. Soph Peighton Clemens wasn’t far back at 21:54.

For Paul VI, junior Macy Huber led the way in 41st with 19:53, sophomore Grace Gutowski was 49th in 19:57, freshman Peyton Blake 53rd in 20:01, freshman Morgan Kuzma 106th in 20:46 and freshman Johanna Trampe 142nd in 21:59, with senior Verina Belmonte just outside the top 5 in 22:03. Team scoring: 21st, 26th, 28th, 51st, 82nd.

Here’s a look at every year South Jersey has had three teams in the top eight:

2024: Cherokee [6th, 182 points], Ocean City [7th, 206 points], Paul VI [8th, 208 points]
1996: Shawnee [2nd, 93 points], Bishop Eustace [4th, 138 points], Paul VI [7th, 208 points]
1995: Bishop Eustace [2nd, 77 points], Shawnee [3rd, 87 points], Paul VI [8th, 236 points]
1994: Bishop Eustace [2nd, 77 points], Shawnee [5th, 108 points], Paul VI [7th, 208 points]
1993: Shawnee [4th, 125 points], Paul VI [5th, 157 points], Ocean City [7th, 210 points]
1992: Paul VI [3rd, 141 points], Bishop Eustace [4th, 142 points], Shawnee [6th, 159 points]
1991: Shawnee [1st, 99 points], Paul VI [5th, 138 points], Cinnaminson [8th, 195 points]
1990: Paul VI [2nd, 136 points], Shawnee [5th, 165 points], Ocean City [8th, 189 points]

Oddly, Paul VI has scored exactly 208 points and placed 7th or 8th three of the last four times three South Jersey schools finished in the top 8.

Senior Ty Blackman placed 33rd in the Meet of Champions Saturday, the best finish by a Glassboro runner in 29 years.

Blackman ran 16:34.65 at Holmdel County Park and was the top South Jersey runner not from Haddonfield, Cherokee or Cherry Hill East, who all qualified for the 53rd annual Meet of Champions as full teams.

His finish is the best by a Glassboro runner since Pat Ryan took 15th in the 1995 race (in 16:38, slower than Blackman ran in 33rd).

Also running as an individual was Cinnaminson junior Jacob Wickersham, who placed 44th in 16:42.50, a Holmdel PR.

Shawnee senior Noah Stapleton ran 16:49.88, fastest by a Shawnee runner at Holmdel since Mark Miller’s 16:41 at the state Group 3 meet in 2016.

Clearview senior Ethan Worst [16:54.05], Cherry Hill West junior Rex Takakjy [16:56.65] and Williamstown senior Dylan Saber [16:59.99] all also ran sub-17.

Liliah Gordon on Saturday morning became the 2nd South Jersey girl in the 53-year history of the Meet of Champions to place in the top eight four years in a row.

Gordon, a senior at Northern Burlington, placed 2nd in the 53rd annual meet at Holmdel County Park in 18:12 after taking 8th as a freshman, 7th as a sophomore and 5th as a junior.

Mainland Regional’s Alyssa Aldridge placed 2nd in 2014, won in 2015 and 2016 and was 2nd in 2017.

Gordon’s finish matches the best ever by a Burlington County girl. Kari Vigerstol of Holy Cross was 2nd in 1992 and Liz Moore of Shawnee was 2nd in 1993. Vigerstol and Moore placed 1-2 in the outdoor Meet of Champions 1,600 in 1993.

Gordon, a Foot Locker finalist last year, cemented her status as one of the all-time greats in South Jersey history.

Union Catholic sophomore Paige Sheppard won the race in 18:01.76. Gordon finished 60 meters clear of 3rd-place Allison Lee of West Windsor-Plainsboro North, who edged Gordon at the Central Jersey Group 3 meet before Gordon ran away with the state Group 3 title.

Gordon has been the top South Jersey finisher at the Meet of Champions all four years. Aldridge was 2nd to Ocean City’s Devin Grisbaum in 2014, so Gordon is the first girl to lead all South Jersey runners at a M-of-C since Haddonfield Olympian Erin Donohue, who was 10th in 1997, 2nd in 1998 and 1st in 1999 and 2000.

Cherokee, Ocean City and Paul VI, South Jersey’s three full teams racing Saturday, placed 6th, 7th and 8th, and we’ll have more on them later.

But in terms of South Jersey individuals, Schalick senior Jordan Hadfield ran 19:28.71 to place 25th for the 2nd straight year and Mainland senior Sofia Day was 33rd in 19:38.90.

Haddonfield packed five runners within 20 seconds and placed 2nd, Cherokee packed its five scorers in 31 seconds and placed 3rd and Cherry Hill East made it three South Jersey teams in the top-5 for the first time in 10 years Saturday morning at the 52nd annual Meet of Champions.

Junior Benjamin Andrus, senior Bennett Wright, Junior Peter Simpson, junior Luke Andresen and junior Ryan Gibson all ran between 16:11 and 16:31, and Haddonfield averaged 16:21 over the historic 5K course at Holmdel County Park

Cherokee placed five runners in the top 40 to take 3rd and Cherry Hill East averaged under 17 minutes to place 5th.

Haddonfield scored 83 points in 2nd place, Cherokee scored 103 in 3rd and Cherry Hill East scored 135 in 5th. Ocean City made it four South Jersey schools in the top 10 with a 9th-place finish.

Haddonfield has placed in the top 10 an incredible 23 times since 1980 and in the top 10 an astounding 14 times.

Their 83 points is the lowest score at a Meet of Champions by a South Jersey school since Mainland Regional won with 68 points in 2003 and Haddonfield’s lowest score ever at a MoC – lower even than when they won the race in 2001.

Haddonfield’s finish is the best by a South Jersey school since the Bulldogs placed 2nd in 2018. Haddonfield has now placed in the top 5 seven consecutive years – or eight if you include the unofficial 2020 MoC.

Their 16:21.79 average is a virtually tie for 3rd-fastest ever at Holmdel by a South Jersey school. Haddonfield averaged a hand-timed 16:21 last weekend at the state Group 2 meet, where FAT timing wasn’t used.

Here is a look at Haddonfield’s astounding 23 top-10 finishes:

2024 – 2nd , 83 points
2023 – 7th, 200 points
2022 – 6th, 183 points
2021 – 3rd, 134 points
2020 – 4th, 121 points
2019 – 3rd, 129 points
2018 – 2nd, 86 points
2017 – 6th, 178 points
2015 – 4th, 145 points
2014 – 5th, 186 points
2013 – 7th, 237 points
2010 – 2nd, 98 points
2009 – 4th, 128 points
2008 – 4th, 139 points
2007 – 3rd, 159 points
2006 – 3rd, 162 points
2001 – 1st, 87 points
2000 – 10th, 255 points
1996 – 10th, 279 points
1990 – 9th, 244 points
1989 – 5th, 189 points
1986 – 8th, 240 points
1980 – 8th, 206 points

Andrus led Haddonfield in 16th place in 16:11.39, Wright was 18th in 16:12.07, Simpson 22nd in 16:23.48, Andresen 26th in 16:30.08 and Gibson 28th in 16:31.95.

Aaron Keith and Case Hurly also ran for Haddonfield, Keith crossing in 17:18.68 and Hurly in 17:50.77.

Cherokee, which averaged 16:34 when it won the state Group 4 meet last weekend, lowered its average to 16:30.45, their 2nd-lowest ever behind a 16:28.4 at the 2022 Meet of Champions.

This was Cherokee’s 7th consecutive top-10 finish and 20th overall. The Chiefs have placed in the top 5 10 times. The 3rd-place finish equals their best since they placed 2nd in 2000, and their 103 points is their lowest total since that 2000 team scored 69.

Freshman Jack Tindall, who missed a significant amount of training camp the last couple weeks, led Cherokee in 13th place in 16:10.18. Sophomore Benjamin Realley placed 23rd in 16:25.14, junior Logan Bromley ran 16:35.81 for 31st, senior Liam Tindall was 38th in 16:39.96 and senior Enzo Corona placed 40th in 16:41.15. Sophomore Sean Sooy was also under 17 minutes in 16:54.47 and senior Benjamin Weiner ran 17:02. Note the official results show Corona in 31st and Bromley in 40th, but their finishes were flip-flopped.

Three of the top freshmen and sophomores in the entire race were from Cherokee.

Cherry Hill East’s 5th-place finish is their best since the 2014 team placed 3rd. East has also placed in the top 10 in 2013 [9th], 2019 [8th] and 2021 [8th].

Senior Brody Bogos had a very strong race for Cherry Hill East, placing 11th in 16:06.62, a Holmdel PR and 3rd-fastest ever by a Cherry Hill East runner. Seniro Brandon Lyons ran 16:29.43 for 24th, juniors Alvin Lin and Will Nelson came across virtually together in 42nd and 44th in 16:42.55 and 16:42.94 and junior Milo Poerner was 84th in 17:05.99 for a 16:51.83 team average. Senior Nikhil Raman ran 17:18.22 and sophomore Cian Sherlock ran 17:50.01 for East.

And Ocean City had three runners under 17 minutes – junior Erik Preisner [35th in 16:38.50], senior Ethan Buck [55th in 16:49.99] and sophomore Keenan Neuman [64th in 16:55.06]. They were backed up by sophomore Nathan Aschmann [81st in 17:04.24] and senior Zach Hutchinson [107th in 17:20.38]. Sophomore Michael Romano [18:05] and freshman Nevin Millstein [18:19] also raced for Ocean City, which averaged 16:57.83.

This is the 5th time three South Jersey schools placed in the top five at a Meet of Champions:

2014: Cherry Hill East [3rd], Kingsway [4th], Haddonfield [5th]
2001: Haddonfield [1st], Cherokee [4th], Mainland Regional [5th]
1999: Paul VI [2nd], Cherokee [3rd], Washington Township [4th]
1998: Cherokee [2nd], Washington Township [3rd], Shawnee [4th]
1989: Paul VI [1st], Highland [2nd], Haddonfield [5th]
1988: Paul VI [1st], Highland [3rd], Bridgeton [5th]

Cinnaminson’s Austin Gabay placed 8th out of more than 200 runners Friday and Butler placed a strong 3rd at the NCAA Division 1 Great Lakes Regional Championship.

Butler, ranked 21st in Division 1, finished behind only No. 19 Notre Dame and No. 9 Wisconsin. Notre Dame won with 70 points, Wisconsin scored 82 and Butler 104, beating Michigan State on a 6th-runner tiebreaker.

Gabay was in 23rd place at 7K in 20:47.9, so he covered the last 3K in 8:40.4.

Gabay ran 29:28.3 on the 10,000-meter course at Silver Creek Metro Park in Norton, Ohio, about 35 miles south of Cleveland.

Gabay’s previous 10K PR was 29:58.4 last year at the Southeast Regional in Spartanburg, S.C., competing for Duke.

Most college races are held at 8K, and Gabay’s 8,000 PR is 23:36.6 from a meet last month in Chicago. He ran a faster pace Friday for an extra 1.24 miles. He probably came through 8,000 meters in 23:50 or so before running the final 1,000 in about 2:38.

The top two teams in each of nine regions automatically qualify for NCAA Championships Nov. 23 at the Thomas Zimmer Course at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Thirteen other schools will receive at-large bid to nationals.

Rancocas Valley and Holy Cross placed 4th and 5th at the very first girls Meet of Champions, held at Holmdel County Park 52 years ago.

Red Bank Catholic [53], Franklin [128] and Hunterdon Cental [129] took the top three spots at the 1972 MoC, with R.V. 4th at 152 and Holy Cross 5th with 162 points. Haddon Township also raced as a team that day, placing 12th with 349 points.

R.V. was led by Cathy Young in 5th place with a 13:21 over two miles, teammate Cathy Christman was 7th in 13:37 and Patti Barnes took 22nd for the Red Devils.

Holy Cross had Sharon Fitzpatrick in 6th in 13:24, Millie Hunt 27th and then Cathy Devlin, Jean Jackson and Joanne McEntee 38th, 41th and 50th.

This year’s Meet of Champions on Saturday will feature three South Jersey teams – Cherokee, Paul VI and Ocean City.

This will be Cherokee’s 5th trip to MoC. Cherokee first qualified for the MoC in 2004, when the Chiefs placed 8th. They were 6th in 2010, then won it in 2021 and placed 9th last year.

Paul VI will be racing as a team at a Meet of Champions for the 17th time overall but first time since 2003, when they placed 12th. But PVI made 16 trips from 1982 through 2003 – 3rd in 1983, 8th in 1993, 3rd in 1984, 6th in 1985, 5th in 1986, 3rd in 1989, 2nd in 1990, 5th in 1991, 3rd in 1992, 5th in 1993, 7th in 1949, 8th in 1995, 7th in 1996, 12th in 1997, 13th in 2001 and 12th in 2003.

And Ocean City will be competing as a full team for the XXth time after placing 9th in 1986, 4th in 1987, 4th in 1988, 8th in 1990, 7th in 1993, 14th in 1994, 9th in 1995, 5th in 2003 and 14th in 2012.

Northern Burlington’s Liliah Gordon on Saturday will try to become the 11th South Jersey girl to win a cross country Meet of Champions and only the 3rd to place in the top 10 four years in a row.

Gordon goes into noon race at Holmdel County Park as a close No. 2 seed after winning the state Group 3 title in 17:58 last weekend. The top seed – one second faster – is Union Catholic’s Paige Sheppard, who attended middle school in Hillsborough, Somerset County, 21 miles from Union Catholic, which is in Union County.

Gordon placed 8th as a freshman in 18:29, 7th in 2022 in 19:05 and 5th last year in 18:19. Her 17:58 puts her 8th in South Jersey history at Holmdel County Park and 2nd among Burlington County runners behind Cherokee’s Megan Lacy, who ran 17:55 at the 2010 state Group 4 meet.

Sheppard and Gordon were the only girls to run faster than 18:24 in the six state meets last weekend.

The only South Jersey girls to place in the top four straight years are Erin Donohue of Haddonfield, who was 10th in 1997 and 2nd in 1998 before winning in 1999 and 2000 and Mainland’s Alyssa Aldridge, who was 2nd in 2014, won in both 2015 and 2016 and placed 2nd again in 2017.

The last girl from Northern to place in the top 10 before Gordon was Colleen Sunderland, who was 6th in the 1994 race.

Mainland senior Sofia Day, Ocean City senior Maeve Smith, Cherokee senior Megan Niglio and Schalick senior Jordan Hadfield, who all placed in the top 25 last year, also return for the 2024 race.

After Gordon, South Jersey’s fastest qualifiers for Saturday are Haddonfield junior Riley Austin [19:07], Paul VI junior Macy Huber [19:16], Cherokee junior Madeline Meder [19:23], Hadfield [19:25], Cherokee’s Niglio [19:27], Ocean City senior Chloe Care [19:37], Paul VI sophomore Grace Gutowski [19:38], Sterling senior Jonalee Adames [19:41], Mainland’s Day [19:42], Eastern sophomore Theresa Albertson [19:52], Wildwood senior Macie McCracken [19:53], Ocean City freshman Riley Tolson [19:55], Williamstown junior Sophia Aldridge [19:59] and Cherry Hill East sophomore Ryleigh Budsock [19:59].

Here are the top 10 all-time South Jersey performers at Holmdel County Park followed by a look at every South Jersey girl that’s ever placed in the top 25 at a Meet of Champions.

It’s been 21 years since a South Jersey school won the Meet of Champions, but from 1984 through 2003, South Jersey won seven of a possible 20 championships with Paul VI in 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994, Haddonfield in 2001 and Mainland Regional in 2002 and 2003.

With the Meet of Champions coming up Saturday, let’s take a look at those seven championships as well as a look at every South Jersey school that’s ever qualified for the MoC as a team, going back to Haddonfield, Eastern, Audubon and Wildwood Catholic back in 1978!

THE WINNERS
Paul VI in 1984
Despite a 1-2 finish by Andy Martin and Bill Babcock, Paul VI outscored North Hunterdon 53-66 to win its first championship. Ron Faith, Chris Hageman, George Steinhoff and Tom Metzger all finished in the top 20 for PVI, Faith in 6th, Hageman in 11th, Steinhoff in 12th and Metzger 20th and Tom Donnelly clinched the team title when he crossed the line in 47th. John Wolfram and Richard Stallings also raced for Paul VI.

Paul VI in 1988
Another close one for PVI, and it was 5th man Jim Wolfram who clinched the victory by finishing 11 spots ahead of CBA’s 5th runner. CBA led Paul VI 30-37 after four runners but Paul VI won 62-65. Jason DiJoseph was the overall winner, Matt Cieslik placed 14th in 16:24, Vincent Cieslik 20th and Joe Cranston 32nd to set up Wolfram. Sixth man Pete Dougherty finished one spot behind Wolfram and Bob Cranston was Paul VI’s 7th runner.

Paul VI in 1989
This time Joe Cranston led PVI in 3rd with Dougherty in 9th. Vincent Cieslik, Ron Caponigro and Tom Keefer finished 22nd, 37th and 44th and Paul VI topped Camden County rival Highland 50-89. Eric Bayles and Frank Innes backed up PVI’s top five in 71st and 78th.

Paul VI in 1994
The Eagles made it four championships in 11 years, topping CBA again, this time 63-81. John Williams and Joe DiGiacomo finished 2nd and 6th to lead PVI, with Brian Bach, Ryan Anderson and Matt McNally 25th, 30th and 50th.

2021 Haddonfield
Haddonfield put a remarkable three runners in the top six and rolled to a 37-point win over Old Bridge. Chris Platt, Skipp Stiles and Breton Bonnette went 2-5-6, all under 16 minutes, and Tim Vitez in 69th and Brian Goldberg in 71st locked up the team title for the Bulldogs. John Bernetich and Ben James also raced for Haddonfield.

2002 Mainland Regional
Greg Hughes and Jimmy Wyner finished 7th and 11th , backed up by Brian Gertzen in 28th, Matthew McGroarty in 58th and Spenser Popeson in 59th, and Mainland edged 2nd-place Toms River North 101-104. Joseph Masters and Blait Goltra also ran for Mainland.

2003 Mainland Regional
Another close one for the Mustangs, who edged CBA 68-74. Mainland was led once again by Hughes and Wyner in 2nd and 10th , with Masters 18th and Popeson 24th. Alex Palmentieri was 5th man in 66th, with McGroarty 93rd and Ian Roddy 103rd.

South Jersey did pretty well at the first Meet of Champions. It was Nov. 22, 1972, at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, and five South Jersey runners finished in the top 20.

Harry Kronik of Franklin Township won the 2 1/2-mile race in 12:22.0, finishing 1-10th of a second ahead of Greg Miller of Northern Highlands.

The first South Jersey runner across the line in the first MoC was Lenape’s Mark Roddy, who was 7th in 12:34. That remains the best finish ever by a Lenape runner, although Anthony Kelhower came close in 2004 when he was 12th.

Also in the top 20 that day were Williamstown’s Willie Marino, Cherry Hill West’s Jay Vickery and Marty Ludwikowski and Collingswood’s Ed Donahue.

Ludwikowski went on to win the race in 1974 and that was Cherry Hill West didn’t have a top-20 finisher again until 2016, when Robert Abrams was 15th. Marino’s 11th-place was the best finish by a Williamstown runner until 2010, when Paul Szulewski finished 10th (and then 8th in 2011). Donahue’s 20th-place finish was the best by a Collignswood runner until last year, when Elijah Forrest placed 14th.

With this year’s 52nd Meet of Champions set for Saturday at Hollmdel County Park, here’s a look at every South Jersey runner to place in the top 25 in one of the first 51 races. As always, please let me know in the comment section if anybody is missing. We’ll have the boys team list and both girls lists coming up soon!
