If you ever ran 16:30 or faster and you attended a high school in South Jersey, you should be on this list.

If you’re not? Drop me a note in the comment section with your time, the meet and the year and I’ll make sure you get added.

There aren’t many courses that have been in use as long as Holmdel County Park. It first hosted the the state championships in 1976, although 1976 and 1977 were over 3.0 miles, and in 1978 the Bowl was run counter-clockwise. The current layout has been in use since 1979.

So Saturday’s state meet will be the 47th in a row at Holmdel and the 45th on the current 5,000-meter course.

The Meet of Champions has been held every year at Holmdel since 1976, although it was also there a few earlier years over 3.0 miles (and 2.0 miles for the girls race) before detouring to Buccleuch Park and Pennsauken briefly and eventually landing permanently at Holmdel. Like the state meet, the boys and girls have all run over 5,000 meters at Holmdel since 1978.

The Shore Coaches Invite has been held at Holmdel since 1979 after starting out at Brookdale Community College in nearby Lincroft.

Here’s the boys list. The girls list will follow in a few minutes!

How fast did the Haddonfield girls run Saturday?

It defies belief.

In winning its 13th South Jersey Group 2 cross country title – and 25th in the last 30 years – Haddonfield swept the top five spots in the race, packed its five scorers in a 21-second gap and averaged 18:19.90 – fastest on any course in South Jersey history and believed to be fastest five-runner average ever recorded by any school in New Jersey XC history.

Yes, this was on the flat, fast DREAM Park speedway in Logan Township, and yes conditions were perfect. But whatever the course or the conditions, this was a historic performance by Haddonfield, ranked No. 2 in the state.

Junior Ava Thomas [18:06.37], junior Riley Slootsky [18:15.42], freshman Riley Austin [18:23.34], senior Helene Usher [18:26.70] and junior Audrey Naticchia [18:27.67] not only outscored 2nd-place Sterling 15-68, they placed 3-5-8-10-12 in a merge of the four sectional races, meaning they had five of the 12-fastest times in a meet that involved nearly 400 runners.

Only 12 girls have run under 18:20 at DREAM Park, seven of them on Saturday. Haddonfield’s average from sectionals would rank 12^th on the all-time DREAM Park performance list:

Clearview is ranked No. 4 in the state and outscored Ocean City 31-86 to easily win the South Jersey Group 3 title. Yet scored against Haddonfield, the Bulldogs win 20-36, with Haddonfield 6th runner sophomore Dylan Melcher bumping Clearview’s fifth runner.

Clearview’s 18:53.20 average was 2nd-fastest from sectionals, and only two Central Jersey schools were also under 20 minutes per runner – Toms River North [19:49.01] and Southern Regional [19:57.57]. Mainland was just over at 20:03.12.

Scored as a full merge, Haddonfield beats Clearview 38-87, with Toms River North [197] and Southern Regional [201] the only other teams within 200 points of Haddonfield.

Coming into this year’s sectionals, the fastest team time ever run at DREAM Park was Haddonfield’s 18:51 at last year’s sectionals. Haddonfield beat that by more than half a minute. Haddonfield also recorded a 1-2-3-4-5 sweep last year but only Usher and Naticchia returned from that team.

And get this: Haddonfield’s 2022 average of 18:19.90 is faster than any other school’s all-time top-five average. DREAM Park has only been in use since 2018, but still. The fastest all-time team average other than Haddonfield belongs to Cherokee, whose five-fastest all-time at DREAM Park averaged 18:35.55.

Haddonfield’s all-time top-5 is actually a tad faster than 18:19.90 – 18:19.58, to be exact, since Anne Earp ran a fraction of a second faster in last year’s sectional than Audrey Naticchia ran this year.

After Haddonfield’s 18:19.58 and Cherokee’s 18:35.55, the next-fastest all-time team at DREAM Park is Haddonfield’s B team – Audrey Naticchia [18:27.67], Sarah Naticchia [18:37.00], Jess Goode [18:46.01], Sabrina Miller [18:53.29] and Allison Colflesh [18:59.70] – is next-fastest at 18:44.73. Clearview is next with its 18:53.20 average, all from this year. Cherry Hill East is 4th at 19:06.11.

Elijah Whitaker became Glassboro’s first sectional XC champ in 27 years Saturday at DREAM Park in Logan Township.

Whitaker outraced Audubon junior Aiden Williams to the finish line to win the South Jersey Group 1 race, Whitaker finishing in 16:09 and Williams 15 meters back in 16:13.

Whitaker became the Bulldogs’ first sectional winner since Pat Ryan won the South Jersey Group 1 race at Kingsway in 1995. Ryan was the third straight Glassboro winner, following Tom Horne in both 1993 and 1994. Glassboro actually went 1-2 in 1993 with Horne and Tim Graves.

Whitaker has come a long way since placing 17th at last year’s sectionals, where he was only the eighth underclassman across the finish line. His time this year was nearly two minutes faster than the 17:54 he ran at DREAM Park at last year’s sectionals.

Glassboro hadn’t had a top-10 finisher at sectionals in 14 years, since Lamere Buchanan placed 8th in the 2008 meet at Delsea.

Whitaker will become Glassboro’s first representative at the state Group 1 meet since Buchanan placed 34th at the 2008 meet. The state Group 1 race is scheduled for noon at Holmdel County Park.

Horne won the state Group 1 title by more than 40 seconds in 1993, with Graves taking 3rd. Horne was 3rd in 1994 and Ryan won the state title in 1995.

Junior Aziz Muhammad-Kane, senior Gavin Gallo and senior Cole Knoedler all finished in the top seven and paced Highland to its seventh sectional XC title and fifth in the last 10 years.

Highland outran Ocean City, 44-58, to win the South Jersey Group 3 title at DREAM Park in Logan Township, outside Glassboro.

Muhammad-Kane ran 15:46 and placed 2nd to Woodbury junior Peyton Shute, who won the race in 15:16. Gallo and Knoedler ran 6th and 7th in 16:04 and 16:05.

Senior Jake Smith was next across the line for Highland, placing 11th in 16:22, and sophomore 5th man Mason Wassell locked up the team title in 19th place in 16:59.

Highland previously won South Jersey Group titles in 1993 and 1994 and Group 3 in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2020.

Senior Nick Scarangelli and junior Matt Hoffman led Ocean City in 3rd and 4th place, Scarangelli in 15:48 and Hoffman 16:00.

Others in the top 10 included Clearview senior Cavan Agatone [5th in 16:01], Moorestown senior Colin Shand [8th in 16:07], Moorestown freshman Peter Simpson [9th in 16:10] and Delsea freshman Matthew Littlehales [10th in 16:12].

Simpson and Littlehales posted the fastest times ever by freshmen in the five years since DREAM Park was first used. The previous freshman course record was 16:26, set Tayshaun Wilson of Toms River North at last year’s South Jersey Group 3 meet. The fastest previous time by a South Jersey freshman was 16:48 by Williamstown’s Dylan Saber at last year’s Group 4 sectional race.

Shawnee junior Ryan Kaczur [14th in 16:36] and Mainland senior Elliot Post [15th in 16:37] also placed in the top 15.

Also qualifying for the state Group 3 meet next weekend at Holmdel County Park were Shawnee [119], Delsea [140] and Moorestown [143].

Cherry Hill East senior Alexis Tepper ran an all-course PR and the 6th-fastest time of the day Saturday at the South Jersey Group 4 race at DREAM Park in Logan Township.

Tepper ran 18:15 and placed 2nd to Toms River North freshman Jessica Abbott while also leading East to a 4th-place team finish.

Tepper’s previous 5,000 PR was an 18:26 on the same course last week at the Olympic Conference Championships, where she placed 2nd to Paul VI’s Shaelen McNally.

That 18:15 is No. 8 in course history.

Seven runners broke 19 minutes in perfect conditions on the flat, fast DREAM Park layout. Atlantic City senior Madeline Dischert placed 3rd in 18:22, Egg Harbor junior Michaela Schelmo ran 18;26 for 4th, Kingsway senior Nicole Lipieta was 5th in 18:42, Cherokee junior Kerry O’Day took 6th in 18:57 and Williamstown senior Alexa Fisher clocked 18:59 for 7th place.

Other South Jersey runners in the top 15 were Cherokee senior Kelsey Niglio [9th in 19:04], Cherokee sophomore Megan Niglio [10th in 19:27], Washington Township sophomore Kaylee Russen [11th in 19:49], Egg Harbor junior Taylor Rooney [12th in 19:57] and Washington Township senior Sophia Bostwick [13th in 19:57].

Toms River North edged Southern 77-83 to win the team title. Washington Township [109], Cherry Hill East [111] and Egg Harbor [124] qualified for the state Group 4 meet next weekend at Holmdel County Park.

Cherokee’s Justin Kelly ran 25:09 over 8,000 meters at TCNJ’s Green Lane course in Ewing to win the New Jersey Athletic Conference title Saturday and lead Rowan to the team title.

Kelly won by 40 meters over Stockton senior Cooper Knorr from Manalapan, who ran 25:17 for 2nd place.

The team title was Rowan’s 24th overall and first since 2018.

Rowan finished with a 28-38 margin of victory over TCNJ, a bit of an upset considering that TCNJ is ranked 3rd in the USTFCCA NCAA Division 3 Metro Region and Rowan is 4th. Stockton, ranked 6th in the region, placed 3rd with 73 points.

Kelly’s performance capped a tremendous comeback after illness wiped out virtually all of his 2021 season after he transferred from Stony Brook (N.Y.).

Sophomore Jacob Riley from North Warren placed 4th for Rowan in 25:40, junior Brandon Jarrett of Woodbridge was 6th in 25:45, junior Dario Epifania from South Brunswick ran 25:46 for 7th and sophomore Cole Kolodziej of Washington Township placed 10th in 25:57.

Freshman Shane Vostenak of Pennsauken was Rowan’s 6th runner in 11th place overall with a 25:59, and Triton grad Noah Cziryak [12th in 26:04], Highland’s Ben Woodward [15th in 26:21] and Cumberland Regional’s Miguel Vera [18th in 26:31] all placed in the top 20 as well.

In the women’s meet, Rowan’s Anna Sasse, a sophomore from Williamstown, ran 23:12 over 6,000 meters and placed 4th, and Mainland Regional’s Savannah Hodgens, a freshman at TCNJ, ran 23:22 for 6th, helping the Lions win the team title, 35-43, over Stockton.

Sterling grad Jessie Klenk and Eastern’s Kierstin Clem took 11th and 18th for Stockton. Klenk ran 23:41 and Clem 24:03.

Junior Yaretzy Rodriguez-Parras was Maple Shade’s only top-10 finisher, but the Wildcats placed all five scorers between 8th and 21st and rolled to their first sectional title in 27 years.

Haddon Township senior Meghan Lex won her 2nd straight individual South Jersey Group 1 title.

For Maple Shade, Rodriguez-Parras ran 21:36 over 5,000 meters at DREAM Park in Logan Township for 8th place, senior Angelina Salcedo placed 12th in 22:16, sophomore Crystal Benito placed 15th in 22:30, sophomore Isabella Castro was 19th in 22:48 and senior Hanna Gross locked up the team title in 21st place in 23:15. Sophomore 6th runner Shanya Walton was two spots back in 24:13.

Maple Shade won its previous sectional titles in 1994 and 1995. The 1994 team outscored Schalick 35-64 and was led by Heather Selzer, Maabo Kludzke, Kathy Skaggs and Dana Eley in the top 10. The 1995 team topped Schalick 38-44, with Leisha Woodward, Cindy Thompson and Michelle Wilkiera in the top 10.

Maple Shade is the first school other than Haddon Township, Schalick and Pitman to win South Jersey Group 1 since Gloucester in 2004.

The Wildcats outscored 2nd-place Haddon Township 55-75, with Schalick [78], Audubon [88] and Wildwood [111] also earning trips to the state Group 1 meet next weekend in Holmdel.

Lex ran 19:10 and edged Wildwood sophomore Macie McCracken by seven meters. McCracken ran 19:12 for 2nd place.

Lex won last year in 19:43 on the same course. Her time Saturday is the fastest winning time in the S.J. Group 1 race on any course in 24 years, since Olympian Erin Donohue of Haddonfield won the 1998 sectional title in 17:44 at Kingsway.

Lex is also Haddon Township’s second repeat winner. Alicia Pipkin won SJ-1 in 2011 and 2012.

Also in the top 15: Haddon Township junior Genevieve Gentlesk [3rd in 20:24], Schalick sophomore Taylor Behrens [4th in 20:26], New Egypt senior Cassidy Burr [5th in 21:02], Wildwood sophomore Leiah Pawlus [6th in 21:22], Palmyra junior Cadence Anderson [7th in 21:29], New Egypt freshman Alana Burnett [9th in 21:50], Audubon senior Mary Kate Owens [10th in 21:50], Riverside sophomore Sydney Greenidge [11th in 22:08], Audubon sophoore Mary McGuire [13th in 22:17] and Schalick senior Jayla Gross [14th in 22:25].

Abigail Waddington became Clearview’s first sectional champion in 33 years and paced the Pioneers to their 2nd consecutive South Jersey Group 3 title.

Waddington, a senior, ran 18:01 over 5,000 meters at DREAM Park in Logan Township near Glassboro, leading eight runners under 19 minutes, including teammates Abigail Kotran, a senior, and Margaret Wisniewski, a junior.

Wassington’s time is No. 2 in course history, behind only the 17:52 Isabella Turner of Shawnee ran at the 2018 South Jersey Shootout. Her time was fastest of the day by three seconds over Jessica Abbott, the Toms River North freshman, who won the Group 4 race.

Clearview, ranked No. 4 in New Jersey, outscored Ocean City 31-86 for the team title. Mainland Regional [93], Moorestown [114] and Toms River South [135] also earned lanes at the state Group 3 meet next weekend at Holmdel County Park.

Clearview’s last sectional champion was Michele Owen, who won South Jersey Group 2 titles in 1986 on her home course in Mullica Hill, in 1987 at Cherokee and in 1989 at Westampton Tech and placed 5th at Mill Creek Park in 1988, when teammate Carrie Thompson won.

Waddington led all five Clearview scorers in the top 11, with Kotran running 18:35 for 4th place and Wisniewski 18:45 for 6th place. Junior Allison Roes placed 9th in 19:16 and senior Aubrey Donahue ran 19:47 for 11th.

Clearview’s 31-point total is the lowest in South Jersey Group 3 since 1990, when Paul VI won 24-64 over Ocean City. The Pioneers’ 55-point margin of victory over 2nd-place Ocean City is the largest in SJ-3 since Seneca won over Highland by 67 points with Nicole McGrainer and Lyndsy Horn in 2008 (54-121).

The Pioneers averaged 18:53, which is 3rd-fastest in course history. Haddonfield averaged 18:19 to win the Group 2 race on Saturday and averaged 18:51 to win Group 2 last year.

Sophomore Sofia Day and junior Gillian Lovett led Mainland in 2nd and 3rd place, Day in 18:12 and Lovett in 18:26.

Ocean City sophomore Maeve Smith [7th in 18:47], Delsea senior Lillie Widmer [8th in 18:49] and Highland senior Grace Wassell [10th in 19:45] rounded out the top 10.

The rest of the top 15 included Moorestown junior Julia Brock [12th in 19:54], Winslow sophomore Ava Millner [13th in 19:56], Ocean City sophomore Chloe Care [14th in 20:10] and Delsea sophomore Juliana Sieminski [15th in 20:13].

Northern Burlington sophomore Liliah Gordon ran 18:26 at Thompson Park in Jamesburg to win her first sectional cross country title.

Gordon ran 18:38 last year on the same course and placed 2nd in the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional to senior Lily Shapiro of Colts Neck, who went on to win Meet of Champions titles last spring at 800 and 1,600 meters and is now at North Carolina.

This year, she raced away from the field and became the first Northern Burlington girl to win a sectional title in 29 years, since Colleen Sunderland ran 19:01 to win South Jersey Group 2 in 1993 at Kingsway.

Gordon won by 165 meters over Allentown senior Meghan Renter, who was 2nd in 19:04. Gordon will race next weekend at the state Group 3 meet at Holmdel Park. She was 2nd at states last year behind Shapiro before placing 8th at Meet of Champions.

Her time is 2nd-fastest ever by a South Jersey girl at Thompson Park. In 2009, Highland’s Megan Venables ran 18:22 at the Old Bridge Classic on the same course.

Burlington Township senior Maeve Timms ran 21:00 for 15th place to lock up the final qualifying spot for the state Group 3 meet.

Senior Ryan Martinelli, junior Owen Dybus junior Jackson Sennhenn and senior Eric Aylmer all finished in the top 10 to lift Haddon Township to its 21st sectional cross country title.

Haddon Township outscored 2nd-place Audubon 40-88 to win South Jersey Group 1. Maple Shade [113], Schalick [145] and Wildwood [174] also advanced to states.

The last three times Haddon Township has won South Jersey Group 1, the Hawks have scored exactly 40 points.

Martinelli ran 16:42 over 5,000 meters at DREAM Park in Logan Township and placed 3rd, Dybus was 5th in 16:52, Sennheim took 8th in 17:07 and Aylmer ran 17:36 for 10th. Sophomore Manolo Foote locked up the team title in 14th place in 17:43, and freshman James Clauson made it seven runners in the top 20 with an 18th-place finish in 18:10.

This will be the 18th consecutive year Haddon Township has advanced to the state championships at Holmdel.

The Hawks also won South Jersey Group 2 in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1976, 1985 and 1986 in Group 1 and 1988, 1996, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019. Only Haddonfield [41 titles] has won more sectional titles in South Jersey history. Only Bernards [27] and Ridgewood [27] have also won more state-wide.

Glassboro junior Elijah Whitaker was the overall Group 1 winner in 16:09 – more on his race later – and Audubon junior Aiden Williams was 2nd in 16:13.

The rest of the top-15 looked like this: Pitman sophomore Ty Blackman [4th in 16:47], Wildwood junior Jorge Cruz Valle [6th in 16:58], Maple Shade senior Chad Cloke [7th in 17:04], Audubon senior Joseph Gaspari [9th in 17:25], Audubon senior David Amorosi [11th in 17:38], Paulsboro senior Derrik Horton [12th in 17:40], Schalick senior Gavin Thompson [13th in 17:40] and Maple Shade junior Aidan Cloke [15th in 17:49].
