Elizabethtown junior Will Inglis from Moorestown ran a huge 800 PR Monday in Chester, dropping the 4th-fastest time in school history at the Widener Last Chance Invitational.
Inglis lowered his PR from 1:52.37 down to 1:50.82, which is now 26th-fastest this year in NCAA Division 2. It’s the fastest time by an Elizabethtown half-miler in 10 years, since Eastern graduate Mike Twist ran 1:50.56 at a meet at Widener in 2016. Inglis ran less than half a second off the school-record 1:50.39 by Matt Rever of Dulaney High School in Timonium, Md., at Swarthmore in 2012.
Inglis’s time is fastest by a Burlington County runner since Bordentown’s Rob Novak ran 1:46.01 in Los Angeles in 2011.
His time is fastest this year by any Landmark Conference runner in 10 years, since Twist’s 1:50.56 on the same track in 2016.
