We wrote on Wednesday about https://sjtrackblog.com/2020/11/25/haddonfield-girls-cement-status-as-njs-1-team-with-riveting-holmdel-invite-triumph/In a battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2, the top-ranked Haddonfield girls outscored No. 2 Ridgewood 52-65 to win the team title in the unofficial Meet of Champions.
As we mentioned, Haddonfield’s 19:31 team average for their five scorers is the fastest ever by a South Jersey team on the historic 5K Holmdel County Park course, which has been since 1972 for the Meet of Champions and state meet.
Incredibly, only 13 schools in South Jersey history have averaged within half a minute per runner!
Here’s a look at all the South Jersey schools that have averaged 20:30 or faster in a single race at Holmdel. If you see a performance missing, please let me know at FromTheBackstretch@gmail.com!
