Haddonfield won the 3,200-meter relay and placed 2nd in the distance medley, shuttle hurdles and sprint medley to win its 2nd straight Group 2 state relays title and 8th overall.

Haddonfield outscored 2nd-place Bernards 43-28, at the Bubble in Toms River with Willingboro 3rd with 26 points.

Haddonfield also won Group 1 in 1989, 1996, 2001, 2002, 2010 and 2014 and Group 2 last year.

Haddonfield won the 3,200-meter relay with Peter Simpson, Benjamin Andrus, Owen Snyder and Ryan Gibson running 8:19.84. Andrus, Jack P. Brand, Simpson and Snyder ran 10:39.74 and placed 2nd in the distance medley, and Ryder Bozine, Mark DiMedio, Andrew Brand and Brandon Stoner ran 3:42.32 for 2nd in the sprint medley.

Bozine, DiMedio, Mark Derets and Harrison Berman ran 31.21 and took 2nd in the shuttle hurdles.

Bozine cleared 5-10 and DiMedio 5-8 for a combined 11-6 and 2nd place in the high jump relay.

Haddonfield added a point with a 6th in the pole vault relay with senior Stone Tyson [11-0] and junior Gabe Rubin [8-6].

Willingboro won the pole vault relay with senior Zahir Bryant [11-6] and senior Dayron Neal [10-6] combined for 22 feet. The resulst show Willingboro getting 10 points in the shot put relay with senior Anthony Lim [42-0 ½] and senior Elijah Tolliver [37-9] combining to throw79-9 ½, but that isn’t right. The results don’t show totals, but Montville, Ocean Township and Cranford are well over 90 feet and Mendham is close. I’m not going to add up all the totals, so we’ll have to see once they correct the scoring.

Willingboro got 2nd in the 800-meter relay, with Zahir Bryant, Christopher Jones, Jaylen Taylor and Samir Walker running 1:34.21, and Overbrook was 3rd with Andrew Powell, Jaiden Mitchell, Axcel Bailey and John Froelich.

Pleasantville won the 800-meter relay in 1:34.18 with Qwasim Jackson, Jamaad Washington, Todd Watson and Raliel Wiggins.
