Congratulations to Ellie DiMarcello who ran a spectacular time of 4 minutes, 51.44 seconds in the Group 4 1,600-meter run at Egg Harbor Township High School. Ellie’s silver medal capped a solid day for the Lion girls overall. Anna DiMarcello took fifth in the 1,600 in 4:59.13, and Anna led off the North 3,200 relay followed by Chloe Gonzalez, Carleigh Haris, and Kelley McCarten that finished fourth in 9:24.42. Both Anna DiMarcello and the relay automatically qualified for the Meet of Champions.
Just missing out on automatic qualifying were Lion junior Emma Mikitiuk (seventh in the triple jump at 36-0¾) and sophomore Gabrielle Beneducci (10th in a 2017 regional-best 1:04.83 in the 400 hurdles) but both may get wild-card bids to the Meet of Champions.
