Molly Cataline of Northern Burlington won the freshman girls race Friday at the Run the Night at Manalapan Recreation Center.
Cataline ran 11:53, presumably over two miles – the results don’t list a course length – and finished nearly 200 meters ahead of 2nd-place Poppy Kolb of Rumson-Fair Haven, who was 2nd in 12:36.
Catalione, who won the Cherokee Challenge Middle School race last year as an 8th-grader at Northern Burlington Middle School, ran 5:25.63 and 11:36.12 on the track last spring.
Also in the freshman race, Ocean City’s Makcenzie Jenkins and Cara Jefferson placed 3rd and 9th in 12:40 and 13:08. Mary-Kate Boyle of Northern ran 13:09 for 10th.
