North Hunterdon, which had high hopes of advancing to the 12-team C of A race after placing 7th in 9:10.22 at the the New Balance Indoor Nationals last month, fell short of its goal of making the final by placing 6th in its Large School heat in 9:23.37, the top NJ time overall in the 4 qualifying heats. Anna DiMarcello anchored for North Hunterdon in 2:14.38.

North Hunterdon’s 9:23.37 was the 17th fastest time of the 69 teams that competed. The 12th and final qualifying time was 9:18.84 by Cardinal O’Hara of Pa.
