Cherry Hill East sophomore Addison Weiss raced into the all-time South Jersey top-20 in the indoor 3,200 Saturday at the Bubble.

Weiss placed 3^rd in the Group 4 3,200 in 10:47.46, which makes her 14^th-fastest in the state this year, 2^nd-fastest in South Jersey behind Julia Flanagan of Holy Cross and 2^nd-fastest sophomore behind Amelia Pattwell of Middletown South, who ran 10:33.33 in the state Group 3 meet.

This was Weiss’s 1^st race ever under 11 minutes. Her previous PR was 11:03.97 at the Ott Center in January, so this was about a 16-second PR. Weiss didn’t run indoors as a freshman and never ran anything over 800 meters outdoors. So this was only her 3^rd lifetime 3,200, and it’s No. 6 all-time in Camden County.

Weiss is only a little more than five seconds off the school record of 10:42.22 set in 2007 by Theresa Cattuna at the 2007 state Group 4 meet at the Bubble, where she placed 2^nd to Ashley Higginson of Colts Neck. Cattuna set the Cherry Hill East outdoor record of 10:34.79 at the 2007 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield, where she was 3^rd behind Higginson and Nicol Traynor of Ridge.

Weiss also ran a lifetime-best 5:05.12 for 6th in the 1,600.

Kingsway junior Aubrey Bishop also ran under 11 for the first time, placing 4^th at states in 10:55.85. That’s 7^th-fastest all-time indoors in Gloucester County.

There are now six South Jersey girls under 11 minutes, the most ever in one indoor season. In addition to Flanagan [10:38.95], Weiss and Bishop, Ocean City sophomore Riley Tolson [10:49.99], Audubon senior Riley Fayer [10:57.28] and Paul VI senior Giovanna Mantuano [10:59.61] have also run under 11 minutes.

Weiss goes into the Meet of Champions a week from Sunday at Ocean Breeze as the No. 12 seed.
