One year after falling one run short of a state title, the Lions, No. 11 in the NJ.com Top 20, returned to the Group 4 State Championship and got it done by surviving a late onslaught, then topping No. 9 Vineland, 6-5, in 10 innings on Sunday evening at Kean University.

The North Hunterdon senior capped off a remarkable, courageous comeback from a litany of injuries that even Job might have found overly daunting by winning a state championship in the 1,600-meter run at Franklin High School Friday afternoon.

Sellaro, who will run at Penn in college, posted a personal-best time of 4 minutes and 15.47 seconds to win his first state championship, holding off Sameer Das of West Windsor-Plainsboro South in 4:16.77. Sellaro qualified for the Meet of Champions, which will be June 9 at Northern Burlington High School.

Congratulations to ​Chloe Gonzalez for taking silver ​in the 1600m run. Emily Nugent for taking silver ​in the 3200m run and ​Fiona Letko for taking ​Bronze ​in the ​Javelin. All three have qualified for the Meet of Champions.

The Lions, No. 11 in the NJ.com Top 20, received a gritty performance in the circle from Maggie Swan and some timely hitting early in the game, and pulled out a 3-2 win over Mount Olive in the Group 4 semifinals at Mike Sheppard Sr. Field at Ivy Hill Park in Newark.

It also marked the 100th career win for North Hunterdon head coach Anthony Rotondo, who is in his fifth year leading the program. It was also a special victory, because it meant that he gets to coach his four seniors in Swan, Sophia Callari, Kady Johnson, and Jessica Nolan, for at least one more game.

“Any time we win it’s a blessing,” Rotondo said. “They’re amazing kids and to get a couple more days to be around them and coach them, that drives me. It’s great to have that. I told them that back to back appearances in the state championship, that is not easy to do.”

The Lions defeated Mount Olive on Thursday.

North Hunterdon stands just one win from its second state title in program history.

The Lions, No. 11 in the NJ.com Top 20, received a gritty performance in the circle from Maggie Swan and some timely hitting early in the game, and pulled out a 3-2 win over Mount Olive in the Group 4 semifinals at Mike Sheppard Sr. Field at Ivy Hill Park in Newark.

The win sends North Hunterdon to the Group 4 championship game for the second year in a row, where it is slated to take on Vineland, which defeated Montgomery 8-5 in the other semifinal earlier in the day. The final will be played either Saturday or Sunday at a time to be determined at Kean University in Union.

Maggie Swan gave up just two runs on four hits for the Lions, in which she struck out five and walked none in a complete-game effort. She also helped out her own cause by driving in a run via a sacrifice fly in the second inning. Jensen Macaulay also had a sacrifice fly in the second, and the Lions were able to chase Mount Olive starter Alyssa Borozan from the game after just two innings after getting five hits. Hanily and Taylor Hucke each had two hits for North Hunterdon.

Congratulations to the Lady Lions softball team for defeating Watchung Hills 1-0 in the NJSIAA State Sectional Championship in walk off fashion. Megan Hanily sacrifice bunted to push Brogan, the pinch runner, into scoring position with one out, but McCabe struck out the next batter to get within one out of extra innings before Julie Apsel’s game-winning single. Julie Apsel ended up with a perfect 3 hit day. Maggie Swan was the winning pitcher who gave up five hits and two walks with six strikeouts.

As a result of Apsel’s heroics, the Lions’ quest for another trip to the Group 4 final will face Mount Olive, which grabbed the North 1, Group 4 in 10 innings over Livingston, in a state semifinal matchup at 5 p.m. Thursday at Ivy Hill Park in Newark.
