Moorestown’s Will Inglis, an Elizabethtown junior, ran the fastest 800 in the Landmark Conference this year Wednesday at the York College Twilight Meet.
Inglis ran 1:53.14, his 2nd-fastest time ever, and won the 800 with his fastest time other than his PR 1:52.37 in Williamstown, Mass., last May.
Inglis won the Landmark Conference 800 indoors in 1:56.47 in Selinsgrove, Pa. In his only previous outdoor race this spring, he PR’d at 3,000 meters with an 8:58.71.
On Wednesday, he was out in 57.14, trailing Dickinson’s Michael Dooley from Bernards. But he closed in 55.90, negative-splitting while Dooley came back in 56.79. Inglis won by five meters over Dooley, who ran 1:53.85 for a 1-2 New Jersey finish.
Inglis’s high shool PR was 2:02.10 at 2023 South Jersey Group 3 Sectionals at Delsea. He didn’t run indoors in high school. So he’s PR’d by nearly 10 seconds since arriving in E’town.
