The top freshman girl in Hawaii this fall was the top middle school runner in South Jersey last year.

As an 8th grader last year at Northern Burlington Middle School in Mansfield, Sadie Krueger won the Cherokee Challenge Middle School race with an 8:06 over 2,400 meters and then won the New Jersey Middle School title with an 11:17 over 3,000 meters at Montgomery Middle School in Montgomery Township, Somerset County.

In track, she ran a 5:09.53 full mile (equivalent to a 5:07.73 for 1,600 meters) at the Cherokee Night of Races and ran 11:11.42 for two miles (equivalent to 11:07.43 for 3,200 meters) at West Philly Outdoor Nationals at Franklin Field.

All as an 8th-grader.

Krueger is now a freshman at Moanalua High School in Honolulu, and she’s off to a terrific start to her high school career.

She’s placed 2nd in all four invitationals she’s contested so far, dropping a 17:45 for three miles in a meet at Oahu Country Club in Honolulu and an 18:39 over 5,000 meters in an invitational at Kapalama, Hawaii. That 17:45 converts to 18:20 for 5,000 meters.

That 18:39 is the 3rd-fastest 5K time by any girl in Hawaii so far this fall behind a junior and a senior, according to MileSplit Hawaii’s databse. No other freshman has run under 19:30.

Seniors Kaysie Luna, Jonalee Adames, Isabella Patruno and Amber Wilsey swept the top four spots and Sterling had seven of the top 10 finishers in a seven-team Colonial Conference batch meet Tuesday in West Deptford.

Luna and Adames both broke 20 minutes on the 5,000-meter West Deptford Park course, Luna winning in 19:16 and Adames 2nd in 19:26. Patruno and Wilsey were 3rd and 4th in 21:25 and 21:38.

Also in Sterling’s top seven were sophomore Brianna Gilligan [6th in 22:06], freshman Riley Sharp [9th in 23:58] and junior Taylor Frazier [10th in 25:22].

Team scoring wasn’t kept, but unofficially Sterling would have won over Haddon Heights by 16-53.

The only non-Sterling runner in the top six was Lindenwold junior Daisy DelaRosa, who took 5th in 21:47.

Also in the top 10 were Haddon Heights sophomore Kendall Samuels [7th in 22:55] and Haddon Heights senior Grace Duffy [8th in 23:14].

Julia Flanagan recorded her first career cross country invitational win Saturday when she ran away from the field at the Ray Hoagland Invitational.

Flanagan’s time is 3rd-fastest in course history and 17 seconds shy of the course record of 18:37 set by Cherokee’s Nicole Clifford at the 2021 County Open. Her previous all-course 5K PR was a 19:23 earlier this month at the South Jersey Shootout at DREAM Park in Logan Township.

Last spring, Flanagan ran 5:12.12 and 11:31.30 and placed 3rd in both the 1,600 and 3,200 at the state Parochial B championships at Stockton University in Galloway Township.
