Lily Edwards scored the Eagles’ lone point with an intense 4-6, 6-2, 12-10 victory over Kaitlyn Jones at first singles. It was Edwards’ 34th consecutive victory.

Vineland, a South Jersey Group 4 semifinalist last year, won a third-set tiebreaker at first doubles.

Wednesday roundup: Woodstown’s 4×800 relay qualifies for nationals at Meet of Champions; Pennsville announces Hall of Fame Class, names Athletes of the Year
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
PENNSAUKEN – The Woodstown 4×800 relay team had one job in Wednesday’s NJSIAA Meet of Champions and they got it done.
Winning the race would have been a nice get, but the Wolverines were focused on posting a time that would get them in the New Balance Nationals at Franklin Field later this month.
They got it done, even with their anchor a little under the weather. The Group I champion quartet of Karson Chew, Jacob Marino, Cole Lucas and Josh Crawford finished fifth in the MOC, but their 7:54.84 set a new Group I record and got them into the nationals.
“One thing those guys won’t do is shy away from competition,” Wolverines coach Reggie Teemer said. “They feed off it.”
Salem County had athletes in 12 events at the all-group meet. Salem’s Anthony Parker had the best individual finish, placing fourth in the boys long jump with a best of 23-5. Crawford also finished seventh in the 800, Schalick’s David Stewart was eighth in the 400 hurdles and Cougars’ 4×100 relay team (Reggie Allen Jr., Michael Eberl, Zaeshawn Mills, David Stewart) finished sixth.
Woodstown’s 4×800 time was more than four seconds better than their winning time in last weekend’s Group I championship meet. They were just shy of a provisional qualifying time for the nationals, but wanted to run a race in their last chance to get in that would leave no doubt.
Chew led them out in 1:59.50. Marino kept them on pace with a 2:02.4. Lucas set them up with a 1:58.45. And Crawford, running with a “minor” cough and fever that “slightly impacted my running,” brought it home with two laps in the 50s and a 1:54.46. Christian Brothers Academy won the race with a collective 7:48.55.
“We came very mentally prepared to break our previous record in the 4×8 and qualify for the New Balance Nationals and I wasn’t going to let a sickness get in the way of that opportunity for my teammates,” Crawford said. “ I was proud of all my teammates for running this race as if it was our last and thankfully earning another opportunity because of the combined culmination of our efforts to give our senior, Cole, a sendoff for the record books.”
It was a busy day for the junior. He ran in three events. He ran 1:53.83 to get on the podium in the individual 800 and ran a leg on the 4×400 relay.
Here are the Salem County results from the Meet of Champions:

Pennsville tabs Hall class
PENNSVILLE – Five decorated athletes spanning five sports and four decades, three successful head coaches and two state champion teams will comprise the 2025 class that will be inducted into the Pennsville Memorial High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
The class was announced at the school’s annual awards assembly Wednesday night. It will be formally inducted in ceremonies at the school Oct. 7.
The class includes athletes Tom Ridgway (Class of 1978), HJ Lopes (’79), Lisa Doran (’86), Dannielle Dolbow-Darby (’95) and Ashley Minch (’08); coaches Ryan Wood (football/baseball), Jack Hathaway (soccer) and Dan LaMont (tennis/wrestling); and the 2005 state champion girls tennis and baseball teams.
“The Hall of Fame Committee did a wonderful job spanning several decades in putting together this year’s class,” Eagles athletics director Jamy Thomas said. “We have a wide variety of sports recognized with our inductees from field hockey, baseball, softball, soccer and tennis. The athletes in this group may have had one sport in which they truly shined, but each of them were great all-around athletes.
“In regards to the coaches being honored this year I have had the opportunity to be taught by Coach Hathaway as a PMHS student and work alongside Coach Wood and Coach LaMont. They are a group of great coaches and even more importantly are great people who are wonderful role models for our student-athletes.”
At the same assembly, potential future Hall of Famers Megan Morris and Connor Ayars were recognized as the school’s PEPPA Scholar-Athletes of the Year. Morris is a multiple state champion pole vaulter and tennis player, while Ayars is football/track standout. Both competed at the Meet of Champions prior to attending the ceremonies.

Stepping aside
Schalick’s John Romano stepping down as Cougars’ girls tennis coach to enjoy the experiences of being a dad
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
PITTSGROVE – John Romano learned a long time ago to be good at something you have to pour everything you have into it. He knows no other way.
Romano admitted he didn’t know a lot about tennis when former athletic director Mike Clark asked him to take over the Schalick girls tennis program and everything he did, at the beginning at least, he learned from books and videos.
He was a soccer guy, he told them, but Clark said he’d seen him coach, knew how he was with people and he’d pick it up.
So the new tennis coach immersed himself in the subject and after feeling his way the first couple years turned the Cougars into a program that could be counted on to be in the hunt every year.
But the time has come to step away, to go to full bore with family as his children, ages 4 and 8, are starting to discover organized sports before the window for those experiences closes. So, after 17 years the soccer guy is putting that original racquet he bought at Dick’s to learn the game aside and pausing the high coaching side of his career.
Starting next fall the Cougars will have a new girls tennis coach, assistant coach Brandi Petrunis. It had been a decision Romano had been contemplated for a while. He told his team Friday.
“It’s been a lot of fun, I’ve really enjoyed it, I love the kids,” he said. “When I told them on Friday you get teary-eyed and that’s one of the things I’m going to miss.
“I’ve never looked it at as wins and losses. I think where you have your most success when a kid comes back and says you ‘I remember a time …’ and you see the effect you had on them. You realize you have a lot of those moments every year. That’s the stuff I’ll take with me.”
In 17 seasons at the Cougars helm, the 41-year-old health/PE teacher compiled a 219-93 record with seven Tri-County Diamond Division titles (all since 2014) and two sectional crowns, most recently in 2023 when they lost to New Providence in the state semifinals. They were 23-3 that year. This year’s team went 10-8 and lost in the South Jersey Group I quarterfinals, its earliest exit since 2015.
“Had a pretty crummy season (the first year), only won a few games, and I said to myself if I’m going to do this I’ve got to dive in, and I did,” he said. “I started right then and there, came up with a whole slew of rules and expectations for the girls and just what the expectation was.
“I distinctly recall in the next season we had a match at Salem and I gave the girls a heck of a speech. I said this is the point where you guys decide where (you’re going to go). At the time we were competitive with Salem and I said we’re going to need this match in order to get there. I remember one of the kids looking over like I would run through a wall right now for you. We’re not going back.
“It was fun learning with the girls along the way and then it became a thing. We just had a trivia contest and one of the winter pep rallies. They asked a question like what is the winningest program in Schalick history and the kid buzzed in and said ‘girls tennis.’ I graduated from Schalick in 2002 and I know it’s either girls track or boys soccer, but for these kids the past 14 seasons that has been the norm, girls tennis is going to be one of the best programs in Group I year in and year out. That’s what we built up.”
And the experience has changed the soccer guy, too.
“I’m a tennis guy now,” he said.
