Elite company

Schalick’s Hadfield becomes second state XC champion from Salem County when she wins Group I race

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

HOLMDEL – Jordan Hadfield would never have dreamed or expected to have the kind of success she enjoyed in her first year running cross country this fall.

She has experience as a distance runner in outdoor and indoor track, but opening it up in the open air like she’s done this fall was something completely new. She was just hoping for a reasonably acceptable time to establish a baseline for the outdoor season.

But she’s done better. A lot better.

The Schalick junior completed what can only be described as a great first year running cross country in the best possible way Saturday. She won the NJSIAA Group I girls championship, going around the Holmdel Park course in 19:19.24.

“I’m super excited about it,” Hadfield said. “I was very nervous about it, but I’m so happy that I was able to do it because I really wanted it.

“If I were to say I’d win a state championship, it’d probably be in soccer before running if I’d have ever thought. I really wasn’t expecting this, but as the season progressed I thought maybe this is possible.”

She’s the first runner from Schalick to win a state Group title and second ever state champion from Salem County. Woodstown’s Jaime Weisgerber set the bar when she won the Group II race in 1994.

It was her ninth win in 11 races this season. The only races she didn’t win were the South Jersey Shootout (third) and the Shore Coaches Invitational (sixth), but those misses gave her a sense of what it was going to take against elite runners going forward.

She led Saturday’s race wire-to-wire, an approach that has served her best all season, and won by 14 seconds over Delana Einreinhofer of Wallkill Valley, the runner who beat her in last year’s outdoor 1600 and 3200 and at the Shore Coaches meet.

“I’m amazed every time she goes out there,” Cougars girls coach Missy Pine said. “Cross country is a difficult sport and you really can’t explain it to anybody, you have to actually try it yourself to see what it’s like.

“She’s done track for two years prior and decided this year she would give it a go with cross country and she’s done extraordinary well. We expected her to do well this season, but we never expected all that she has been able to accomplish.”

The Cougars finished 14th as a team. Elizabeth Petrunis was their second fastest runner, coming in 40th overall (22:29.56).

Metuchen won the girls and boys Group I team titles. The girls placed all five of their counters in the top 20. The boys placed all of their counters in the top 25.

The Schalick boys were 13^th as a team. Senior Charles Fuerneisen, the Salem County boys champion, was 33rd overall (18:04). Matthew Tozer was 45th (18:23).

“I thought both the boys and girls teams performed well,” Pine said. “It’s a tough course that we don’t get to run often. They did the best that they could and having the added hills and obstacles that we’re not used to, they performed at the best that they could.”

Woodstown’s Jacob Marino finished right alongside Tozer and teammate Karson Chew was 75th (19:09).

Next up for Hadfield is the Meet of Champions, next Saturday, back here at Holmdel Park.

Tech-nically tight

UPDATED
Rich wins super close boys race, VanHorn repeats in girls; GCIT, Morris Tech win team titles

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN — If you blinked at the finish of the boys race in Monday’s NJTAC cross country meet you missed it.

Camden Vo-Tech’s Julian Rich won by a mere 32-hundreths of a second, holding off Luke Damato of Medford Tech at the wire to win the state tech schools championship in the cross country equivalent of a NASCAR photo finish.

Rich covered the 5K at Salem Tech in 17:28.20. He turned on the jets in the final 100 meters or so to take the lead and then held off Damato’s sprint to catch up at the line. It was the closest boys finish since 2015 when the margin was 3.5 seconds.

It wasn’t a close enough finish for Rich to feel Damato’s breath on his back but he could feel the footsteps.

“It was tight the whole time,” Rich said. “We were close enough that we could’ve stepped on each other’s foot. It was a close race, but when we were coming down the home stretch I knew I had it. I’ve always had a good kick at the end, but once I saw him I just went.”

In his post-race analysis moments after the finish, Damato figured he exploded at the start and got ahead of Rich too early and created the tight finish. He wasn’t too disappointed, though. He was seconds off his personal best set two races ago.

“It was tight. He won. He beat me at the end,” he said matter-of-factly. “That last kick, if you’ve got that last kick you mostly won. You got it if you’ve got that. If that guy can pass me, he wins.

“I wasn’t that bummed. I think I did the best that I could. If that guy can pass me, he wins. He got me at the end, that’s all that really matters. He did it. That’s all I can say. I’m happy with my result. I’m happy with his result because he got first place. At the end of the day there’s nothing to be mad about. I ran a great race by my standards.”

VanHorn repeats, Seiden eighth

Girls winner Maya Van Horn had an easier time of it. She won the race for the second year in a row in a breezy 18:57.45, a comfortable two minutes ahead of runner up Micah Dilello of Sussex Tech. She’s coming off an 18:49.9 in her NJAC conference meet a week ago.

“It was a pretty awesome race,” she said. “Near me there’s a lot of hills and this was a pretty flat course today and that definitely made it a lot easier. It was a fun race.”

Salem Tech’s Sarah Seiden, the Salem County girls runner up, was eighth (22:22.42). She went out with the idea of keeping a steady pace over the first two-thirds of the race because there’s another race Tuesday, but felt good at that point and started picking off runners over the last 1000 meters.

The Chargers cap off a busy week Tuesday in the Tri-County Showcase at Cumberland. It will be their third race in seven days.

“A lot of stretching, a lot of sleep will probably do me good,” Seiden said. “We’ll see how tomorrow goes. I think I’ve got it.”

GCIT, Morris team champs

Gloucester Tech and Morris Tech won the boys and girls team titles, respectively.

GCIT won the boys team title the way you’re supposed to, bunching its runners in a tight group. Their counters finished 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11 in a spread separated by just 37 seconds. Gavin Hoover was their first across the line with a fourth-place 17:49:11.

“We train together and run together so it would make sense,” GCIT coach Rob Kijewski said. “Any time we compete and do well at these races, it has everything to do with, not so much winning the race, but always being able to bunch up and win out that way. We’re a team. We’re the definition of a what a cross country team really has to do to be at its best.”

With VanHorn setting the pace, Morris Tech’s girls put four runners in the top seven and all five counters in the top 16.

Eagles flock to Hall

8 of the 9 honorees in the Salem County Sports Hall of Fame’s first induction class since 2019 have ties to Pennsville

By Riverview Sports News

CARNEYS POINT – The Salem County Sports Hall of Fame has announced its 2023 induction class and the group has a heavy Pennsville flavor.

Five of the six inductees for the Hall’s first class since 2019 have direct ties to Pennsville Memorial High School. All three service award honorees also have connections to the high school or township.

The inductees are Dylan Cummings, his brother Tyler Cummings, Amy Coker McDade, Victoria (Tori) Nugent, Katie Jackson Scull and Ta’riq D. Thomas. In addition, Louise Foley, Mike Hartman and Louis (Lou) Priest will be recognized for community service in local sports.

“This is a reflection of the great tradition that we have here at Pennsville when it comes to athletics,” current Pennsville athletics director Jamy Thomas said. “It also shows we have a lot of work to do with our (PMHS Athletic) Hall of Fame, us being only five years into it. There are a ton of great athletes that we still have to induct in our own personal Hall of Fame. You look at this list and none of these people are in our Hall of Fame.

“It’s glaring how much we needed to have a Hall of Fame. Thankful for the work the previous athletics director did to get this thing off the ground along with the committee members and we’re moving in the right direction with that, but we have a lot of great athletes that we’re going to be discussing over the next many years that there will never be a shortage of inductees for our Hall of Fame.”

Thomas has a direct connection to many of this year’s Salem County Hall inductees, either as a classmate, teammate, student or co-worker. One of the 2023 honorees, Amy Coker McDade, is the athletics department administrative assistant.

“Amy was a great player,” he said. “In ’01 I was coaching here, I wasn’t even teaching here yet, so I was still kind of in the background, but I remember Amy playing. She was a stud athlete on the soccer field, on the softball fields and now just a great overall person. She does so much for the athletics department.

“She is the one behind our current Hall of Fame. Her work is just second to none. It’s what makes that night for us so enjoyable and run so smoothly. She’s taken that work ethic she had on the athletic fields and converted it into her career and we hope we’re doing that with a lot of kids. That’s a major piece to an academic-based athletics program, trying to teach kids how to be successful in their future. Whether we’re successful on the fields or not, wins and losses don’t really matter, what matters are these kids becoming successful when they get out of here and Amy is absolutely one who proves that point.”

The induction ceremonies are in Salem Community College’s Sol and Jean Davidow Performing Arts Theatre Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
