From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Haddonfield ran the 3rd-fastest 3,200-meter relay in New Jersey this year Monday at Ocean Breeze. Unfortunately, the results have disappeared from the live results site, and I only know they ran 7:56.97 because I scribbled the time down after the race. Come on, Ocean Breeze!

So no splits and no other results from the race, but based off the entry list the lineup was seniors Benjamin Andrus, Aaron Keith, Peter Simpson and Brandon Stoner.

The only faster times in New Jersey this year are Scotch Plains All-Star Program’s 7:37.96 and Woodstown’s 7:55.62, both at the Millrose Games last week at the Armory.

Haddonfield’s time is No. 14 in the U.S. this year, according to the MileSplit national databse. Haddonfield is also No. 3 nationally in the DMR with its 10:10.12 at the Ott Center last week.

This is only Haddonfield’s 3rd time under 8:00 indoors along with a 7:55.44 at the Armory in 2010 and a 7:57.56 at the Armory in 2019. The time is No. 14 in South Jersey indoors and 2nd-fastest on the all-time Camden County list behind that 7:55.44 some 16 years ago with Ben Potts, Jonathan Vitez, Matt Nussbaum and Colin Baker.
