Junior Riley Tolson ran 17:19 over 5,000 meters at Egg Harbor Township and Ocean City appears to have scored 20 points to win its 8th straight Cape-Atlantic Conference title Tuesday.

Thanks to a timing catastrophe there are no official results, but unofficially Ocean City went 1-2-3-6-8-(9-10) to top Egg Harbor, which went 4-5-7-15-17 for 48 points. Look like Mainland scored 74, perhaps for 3rd place? Who knows without complete results!

Tolson’s previous all-course best for a 5K course was 17:50 in a meet last month at Carlisle, Pa.

Ocean City appears to have placed all seven runners in the top 10. Senior Carly Godfrey ran 18:34 for 2nd, freshman Mackenzie Jenkins 19:06 for 3rd, senior Lillian Flora 19:09 for 6th, junior Lenna Driscoll 19:28 for 8th, freshman Cara Jefferson 19:31 for 9th and senior Peighton Clemens 19:49 for 10th.

Although Tomahawk was originally scheduled to work the meet, the Cape Atlantic athletic directors apparently elected not to have the meet automatically timed or apparently to even have it timed at all. There are still no boys results at all and no official girls results more than 15 hours after the races ended

If all the coaches who had runners in the top 25 send me their results I’ll try to put together as close to final results as possible.

We;re only missing a few girls from the top 25 but we’re missing almost the entire boys race! I appreciate everyone who’s sent in results but we need more! Thanks!!!

Has anybody seen Cape-Atlantic results from Stockton? The races have been over for three hours. Has anybody ever heard of “Laws of Speed Timing?”

LET’S GO!!!!

It’s now 11:30 p.m. and still no results. I know Ocean City ran well, Riley Tolson ran fast and that’s about it.

Whoever is responsible for this travesty needs to be held accountable.

The Rowan women packed five scorers in 37 seconds and placed 5th at the Border Battle Saturday in Logan Township.

Senior Jezena Aponte from Snyder High in Jersey City was Rowan’s first finisher, 17th in 23:35, with senior Allyson Wernik from Washington Township 21st in 23:42, sophomore Juliana Sieminski from Delsea 32nd in 24:04, senior Maggie Michelet from Hunterdon Central 37th in 24:10 and freshman Kayla Romanoski from West Deptford 39th in 24:12 on a wet, soggy, muddy DREAM Park course.

Stockton’s 2nd finisher was senior Sarah Rutledge from Egg Harbor Township, who ran 24:55.

Clearview’s Abby Waddington, a Boston University sophomore, placed 14th out of nearly 300 runners Saturday at the ECAC Championships in Bethpage, N.Y.

Waddington ran 20:58 over 6,000 meters at the Bethpage State Park polo fields and was B.U.’s 3rd finisher as the Terriers won the team title, 80-99, over Columbia.

It was B.U.’s first-ever ECAC team championship.

Waddington ran just two seconds off her all-course 6K best of 20:56 from last October in a meet on the Princeton University course in Plainsboro, N.J.

Bucknell junior Kerry O’Day from Cherokee ran a 6K all-course best of 21:27 and was Bucknell’s 4th finisher as the Bison placed 5th overall. O’Day’s previous 6K best was a 21:39 at a meet at Penn State in November 2024.

Senior Aidan Brad from Williamstown led five Rowan runners in the top 30 and the Profs placed a close 2nd Saturday in the Border Battle in Logan Township.

Brad ran 8,000 meters at muddy, water-logged DREAM Park in 27:29 and placed 10th out of more than 150 runners in the men’s championship race.

Freshman Rowan Horner from Franklin High in Portland, Ore., was 14th in 27:40, sophomore Ty Blackman from Glassboro ran 27:49 for 21st place, senior Colin Patterson from Haddon Heights was 22nd in 27:52 and junior Reid Gervasi from Haddonfield was 26th in 28:03.

Horner and Blackman were the 1st and 3rd freshmen finishers and both were competing in their first collegiate 8K race.Rowan packed its five scorers in 29 seconds.

Mount Union of Alliance, Ohio, edged Rowan 70-83 to win the team title.

Because most of the Paul Short Races scheduled for Oct. 2 at Lehigh were cancelled, the Profs hadn’t raced since a meet at Stockton on Sept. 19.

Stockton freshman James Clauson from Haddon Township placed 27th in 28:07, Rowan sophomore Dylan Saber of Williamstown was 42nd in 28:23.

Bloomsburg senior Lexi Tepper from Cherry Hill East placed 2nd out of nearly 100 runners Saturday morning at the Bloomsburg Invitational on her home course in Columbia County.

Tepper, in her 1st year of XC at Bloomsburg after spending three years at UMBC, ran 22:55 and finished behind only sophomore teammate Olivia Magagna of Strasburg High, Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, who won the race in 22:21.

Tepper, the PSAC mile and 3,000 champ last spring, was in 3rd with 1,000 meters to go but passed Millersville’s Bri Pollock and finished 2nd.

Bloomsburg went 1-2-13-15-17 and placed 2nd to East Stroudsburg, which scored 39 points.

Big race Saturday morning by Bishop Eustace’s Anya Kazemi, a Lafayette junior, who ran a huge 6,000 all-course PR and placed 3rd out of nearly 400 runners at the Aubrey Shenk Invitatinal in Gettysburg.

Kazemi ran 21:16 and finished behind only runners from John Hopkins of Baltimore and Batten University of Virginia Beach.

Her previous 6,000 best was 21:42 in her most recent meet on her home course in Easton.

Kazemi was 15th at the mile but had moved up to 3rd when she came through 3.0 miles at 17:18.

Senior Ana Severino from Haddon Heights was Lafayette’s 3rd finisher, crossing the line in 21:48 in 13th place. That’s also an all-course PR. Severino previously had run 22:00 last October at Lehigh.

Lafayett placed 2nd to Hopkins, 43-60.

Rider senior Maddie Dischert from Atlantic City from a 6,000-meter all-course PR and placed 10th out of nearly 200 runners Friday at the Joe Handleman ’52 Fall Classic in Plainsboro. She was Rider’s first finisher.

Dischert, from Brigantine, ran 21:11 on Princeton’s home course, dropping her all-course 6K best from 21:21, which she ran two weeks ago at Lehigh in one of the Paul Short races that wasn’t cancelled.

Dischert was Rider’s top finisher and was just 28 seconds behind winner Julia Dill from Robert Morris in Pittsburgh., who ran 20:43.

La Salle senior Helene Usher from Haddonfield finished just 15 seconds behind Dischert in 16th place in 21:26. Usher was La Salle’s first finisher, 10 seconds of three-time Atlantic 10 champion Gwenno Goode.

Usher, who has run 16:30.14 for 5,000 meters on the track, has a 6K best of 21:05, also from Paul Short.

Chloe Care, a sophomore from Ocean City, was St. Joe’s 3rd runner, finishing in 22:29.

Four more South Jersey runners – Penn State sophomore Liliah Gordon, North Florida freshman Sophia Aldridge from Williamstown, St. Joe’s freshman Jonalee Adames from Sterling and La Salle junior Cara Coppolino from Sterling – all finished in a 22-second span from 22:42 through 23:04.

Villanova sophomore Maeve Smith ran a smoking personal-best 20:40 over 6,000 meters at Under Armor Pre-Nationals Friday in Terre Haute, Ind.

Smith ran a 23-second all-course PR at Indiana State’s LaVern Gibson Championship Course, breaking 21 minutes for the first time. Her previous 6,000 best was a 21:03 at Lehigh last October.

Smith was Villanova’s 3rd finisher in her first race this fall.

Seniors Benjamin Realley and Sean Sooy finished 1-2, Cherokee placed all five scorers in the top 10 and the Chiefs won their 13th consecutive Burlington County Open Friday in Mansfield Township.

Realley ran 16:21 over 5,000 meters at Crystal Lake Park and Sooy ran 16:28, and Cherokee topped Cinnaminson 24-53, with Moorestown 3rd at 109. Cherokee’s five scorers finished in a 28-second gap.

Cherokee has won every County Open title since 2014 and 26 of the last 32 going back to 1995. Realley is the 14th Cherokee runner to win the individual title during that span.

Senior Gavin Danielewicz was 5th for Cherokee in 16:49, senior Maximo Harada 7th in 16:57 and senior Leo Vyvyan 9th in 17:06. All seven Cherokee runners finished in the top 10, with senior Bruce Novoa 14th in 17:21 and sophomore Hamza Salahuddin 15th in 17:21.

The rest of the top 10 included Moorestown junior Zander Kane [3rd in 16:33], Cinnaminson freshman James McKeon [4th in 16:34], Cinnaminson senior Edward Abu-Adas [6th in 16:54], Shawnee sophomore Deven Lloyd [8th in 17:00] and Cinnaminson senior Ryan Scaricaciottoli [10th in 17:08].

Cherokee also swept the top seven spots in the JV race, with seven runners finishing in a 33-second gap between 17:33 and 18:10.
