While South Jersey boys are represented by only two relay teams and seven individuals at next week’s Penn Relays, the girls contingent is much larger, with six relay teams and nine individuals.
Northern Burlington senior Liliah Gordon leads the South Jersey group at Penn in the 3,000. Indoors, Gordon set a state 5,000 record of 16:48.89 in Boston and ran the 3rd-fastest 3,200 in state history when she won the Meet of Champions in 10:13.41. She came through 3,000 meters in that race in 9:39.04, another South Jersey record. The fastest South Jersey girl ever in the Penn Relays 3,000 is Haddonfield’s recent South Jersey Track Hall of Fame inductee Marielle Hall, who ran 9:40.23 at the 2010 Penn Relays.
