Pennsauken’s Hope Edwards placed 2nd in the sophomore race at the Thompson Two-Miler at Thompson Park in Jamesburg Saturday.
Edwards, the state indoor 800 champ and No. 3 freshman intermediate hurdler in the U.S. last spring at 1:00.32 while at Moorestown, ran 12:51, finishing behind only Metuchen’s Taylor Zaneto.
Edwards had run 13:13 a week earlier over 3,200 meters at the Cherokee Challenge so factoring in the 3,200/two-mile conversion, that’s a 26-second drop.
Pennsauken’s Rai’ana Rucker was 12th in the sophomore race in 13:57.
For Cinnaminso, Luke Feeley took 8th in the Freshman Race in 11:30 and Keith Fried was 12th in the Junior Race in 11:17.
