I was planning to post stories from each race at Holmdel today, but so far –  an hour after the boys Group 1 race ended – the timing company has still not posted any results.

This is the state championships and we can’t get live results in 2024. Unreal.

This seems to be a recurring problem with several timing companies not named Tomahawk. With the technology available today, it’s unbelievable that these companies aren’t able to provide live results. Heck, we were getting them 20 years ago.

Something goes wrong every single time. Honestly, they should be posting results and in-progress team scores during the race from each mile marker or each 1K. They have the technology to do it. Yet we can’t even tell you what happened in the boys Group 1 race that ended an hour ago.

This is a disgrace and an insult to athletes, coaches, parents and fans of track and cross country.

I think everybody reading this should contact NJSIAA track and field director Al Stumpf at astumpf@njsiaa.org and suggest the NJSIAA finds a timing company that’s able to actually provide results in real time.

EDIT: It’s 11:05 a.m. and still no results. I’m going for a run. I’ll try again later.

UPDATE: It’s now 4:08 p.m. and Viper Timing still hasn’t posted any results. The meet began nearly seven hours ago. MileSplit is doing the best it can, and if we ever get any more results I’ll have more posts.

The first New Jersey state track championships were held in 1919 at Branch Brook Park in Newark, with the girls meet starting in 1972  at Holmdel.

The first South Jersey boy to win a state title was legendary Browning Ross of Woodbury in 1942, six years before he represented the U.S. in the Olympics in London.

The first South Jersey girls to win state titles were Monique Purcell of Holy Spirit and Eva Marie Berardi of Williamstown, both in 1978. The first teams were Lower Cape May Regional in 1950 and Shawnee in 1976.

There was no meet in 2020 so Saturday’s state championships are the 105th annual. That’s a century worth of runners getting walked down in the final 50 meters!

Good luck to everyone racing at Holmdel County Park Saturday!

Haddonfield’s remarkable 18:18.4 all-time team average is 2nd-fastest in Holmdel County Park history and the Bulldogs could make a run at the top spot over the next two weeks.

Colts Neck currently has the fastest all-time five-runner average, with Lilly Shapiro in 2021 [17:35], Ashley Higginson in 2006 [17:35], Briana Jackucewicz in 2005 [18:20], Delia Russo in 2018 [18:45] and Colleen Megerle in 2016 [18:59] averaging 18:17.8 on the historic Holmdel 5K layout.

But Haddonfield is less than a second per runner behind, with the all-star lineup of Briana Gess in 2013 [17:45], Olympian Marielle Hall [18:17 in 2009], Vanessa Wright [18:22 in 2004], Olympian Erin Donahue in 1998 [18:27] and Shelby Cain in 2011 [18:41] averaging 18:18.4.

Nobody in South Jersey history is close to Haddonfield’s composite time, although Ocean City, Highland, Cherokee, Kingsway, Cherry Hill East and Shawnee are all undo 19 minutes.

With states and Meet of Champions both coming up at Holmdel the next two Saturdays, here’s our best attempt at an all-time South Jersey girls Holmdel composite team average performance list!

Helene Usher ran 21:15 over 6,000 meters at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville, Va., and placed 17th out of nearly 150 runners at the Atlantic 10 Championships on Saturday.

Usher, a Haddonfield graduate and La Salle sophomore, was the Explorers’ No. 2 runner. Teammate Gwenno Goode, a sophomore from Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg medium comprehensive school in Barry, Wales, won the race in 20:10.4.

La Salle placed 4th with 13 points. Loyola scored 36, with U. Mass. [113] and George Mason [121] 2nd and 3rd.

Usher, who’s run 17:055.55 for 5,000 meters on the track, ran 17:42 5K pace for 6,000 meters.

She ran within about 10 seconds off her lifetime all-course best of 21:05 from the Paul Short Run on Lehigh’s south campus in Bethlehem and Lower Saucon Township.

La Salle, ranked 11th in the NCAA Division 1 Mid-Atlantic Region, races in the Mid-Atlantic Regional race a week from Saturday on Penn State’s Blue and White course in State College, Pa.

Top South Jersey finisher in the men’s race was St. Joe’s freshman Jack Bolling from Haddon Heights, 43rd in 25:05 and the 7th freshman overall. St. Joe’s senior Dawson Baptiste from Delsea finished six yards back in 51st.

Our final set of lists leading up to states at Holmdel County Park Saturday are the all-time composite team averages.

Holmdel was first used for states in 1976, but the first two years a 3-mile course was used. The 5K course has been in use since 1978.

These lists are tricky to put together, and if you see any errors or omissions don’t hesitate to let me know in the comment section.

Three years ago, the Cherokee girls won a very tight Meet of Champions – four teams within 32 points – and averaged 19:23.40 on the challenging Holmdel County Park course.

That broke the South Jersey course record of 19:31 set by Haddonfield in 2020 at the Holmdel Invitational, a meet arranged to replace the Meet of Champions after states and the MoC were both cancelled because of COVID.

Cherokee’s top-5 that day consisted of Nicole Clifford [11th in 18:43], Kelsey Niglio [35th in 19:22], Kerry O’Day [38th in 19:24], Olivia Parkinson [44th in 19:30] and Megan Niglio [60th in 19:58].

Cherokee beat 2nd-place Ridgewood 117-126, with the big gap coming between the two teams’ 4th runners. Parkinson finished 13 places ahead of Ridgewood’s 4th, and that was the difference.

With states and the Meet of Champions coming up the next two Saturdays, it’s time for our all-time South Jersey single-race performance list. I don’t know what’s going to happen at states or Meet of Champions, but I do know this list is going to undergo some major changes very soon.

As always, let me know in the comment section if any performance is missing!

It’s been 23 years since Mainland Regional took over Holmdel County Park and outraced CBA to win the Meet of Champions title.

Greg Hughes placed 2nd in 15:39, Jimmy Wyner 16:06, Joe Masters 18th in 16:22, Spenser Popeson 24th in 16:29 and Alex Palmentieri 66th in 17:02. For team scoring purposes, they went 1-8-10-13-36 and edged CBA 68-74.

After four runners, Mainland led 32-48, so Palmentieri’s sole purpose was to finish fewer than 15 spots behind CBA’s 5th runner, and he finished 10 spots behind him, locking up the win for the Mustangs.

Mainland averaged 16:19.12 per runner that day back in 2023 and here we are more than two decades later and despite faster shoes, a faster course and improved training methods, that 16:19.12 average still stands as the South Jersey single-race Holmdel County Park course record.

Haddonfield came very close with its 16:19.68 at the 2010 Meet of Champions but Mainland has stood up to every challenge.

Some very good teams will take aim at that 16:19.12 Saturday at states and a week from Saturday at the Meet of Champions. But for now, here’s the all-time South Jersey Holmdel single-race performance list. Corrections and additions are welcome!

Girls list coming later today!

Kingsway’s Kylie Anicic, in her first year of post-collegiate running, ran the fastest road 10-miler ever by a South Jersey woman Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Anicic, who finished her record-setting career at Edinboro this past spring, ran 57:03 and placed 6th out of more than 1,600 runners at the EQT Pittsburgh 10-Miler.

That’s 15 seconds faster than Cherokee graduate Megan Lacy ran at the USATF 10-Mile Championships in Minneapolis on Oct. 6, 2019.

This was Anicic’s 3rd race this fall. She ran 1:14.54 for 20K in New Haven on Sept. 2 and a 35:19 road 10K in Northport, N.Y., in late September.

At Edinboro, Anicic had track PRs of 4:30.52 for 1,500 meters, 9:27.55 for 3,000 meters, 16:25.97 for 5,000 and 33:25.55 for 10,000.

Molly Grabill, a six-time All-America at Oregon, won the race in 53:48. Grabill has a New Jersey connection: Her partner is Olympic triathlete Morgan Pearson from Harding Township and Delbarton High School. Pearson is a two-time silver medalist in the triathlon mixed relay.

Here’s my best attempt at an all-time New Jersey road 10-miler list. Note that Olympian Marielle Hall of Haddonfield and Erika Kemp of Rancocas Valley, the 2021 USATF 20K road champion, never ran a road 10-miler from all available records.

MIT junior Jacob Cobb of West Deptford placed 6th in the NEWMAC Championships Saturday in Wellesley, Mass., helping the Engineers easily win the team title.

Cobb ran a lifetime all-course best 25:08 over 8,000 meters at Nehoiden Golf Club and was MIT’s 3rd runner. Massachusets Institute of Technology won its 26th straight New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference championship, 25-61, over Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Cobb’s previous best for a cross country 8K was a 25:33 at Division 3 Pre-Nationals last month in Terre Haute, Ind.

Last spring in Williamstown, Mass., Cobb ran a 9:00.17 steeplechase, shattering the MIT school record.

MIT is ranked No. 2 in the NCAA Division 3 East Region behind Tufts of Medford, Mass., and 22nd nationally.

MIT races on Nov. 16 at the East Regional Championships at Hopkinton (N.H.) State Fairgrounds.
