With freshman Dylan Hosty running a 4:50 anchor, the Haddonfield girls ran the 2nd-fastest four-mile relay in South Jersey history Thursday night at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.
Haddonfield placed 8th in 20:53.31, which is 2nd only to Cherokee’s 20:50.33 at the same meet last year on the all-time South Jersey list.
Molly Mills led off with a 5:12.71, Harper Benjamin ran 5:34.80 and Madison Kelsey split 5:15.51 setting up Hosty, the state freshman mile record holder, who anchored in 4:50.31, moving the Bulldogs up from 11th to 8th.
On the combined all-time South Jersey 6,400-meter relay / four-mile relay list, Haddonfield broke the Camden County record of 20:48.7 set over 6,400 meters by the 2000 Haddonfield team. Haddonfield’s 20:53.31 converts to 20:46.11 for 6,400 meters.
The Kingsway girls ran the 8th-fastest four-mile relay in South Jersey history (11th-fastest if you include 6,400-meter relay times) and broke the Gloucester County record in a previous section of the race.
Senior Callie Webb, sophomore Kaitlyn Orazi, senior Liliana MacMinn and junior Aubrey Bishop placed 15thoverall in 21:37.34. They broke the Gloucester County record set by the 2019 Kingsway team at the same meet when it was held in Greensboro, N.C.
That team, with Ashlynne Burke, Emily Pierontoni, Lauren Krott and Allison Pierontoni, ran 21:44.25 for the full two miles, which converts to 21:37.05 for 6,400 meters. Kingsway’s time Thursday is No. 11 in South Jersey history on the combined 6,400-meter / four-mile relay list and 8th-fastest on the four-mile relay list.
