Girls 

It is a world of the individual against himself, it is his aspirations challenging the capacity of his body.  There is no enemy but the straining of every muscle.  It is not a sport, it is a life of work and precision and sometimes it is rewarded by a cheer or a press clipping.  But when the press clipping turns yellow, there will still be the memory of that time, perhaps only a moment, when the crowd faded to nothing and the only sound was breathing and the only feeling was the ache of endurance and pushing, pushing until the body soared with the mind, and no one else knew what it was to strive.

The girls win National Championship!!!   Kristen O'Dowd led off with a 5:16.8 and got us into 4th,  Allison Linnell held the 4th position with a 5:19.7, and Brianna Jackucewicz put the team into 1st with a 7 sec lead over the defending champs Running Gear TC (actually Clarkston HS, Michigan) with her 5:06.2.  Ashley Higginson increased the lead to 8 secs with a 4:55.7 anchor leg.  It was a new NJ State record beating the old record of 20:46.30 by Red Bank in 2002.

The dyestat story:  

Girls 4 x 1-mile

Warwick Valley took the early lead on the traditionally crowded opening leg with Tori Pennings pushing the pace, followed by Burnt Hills, Runnin’ Gear (Clarkston HS), Colts Neck, and Bronxville. Burnt Hills outkicked WV on the last lap, clocking a 5:09 leg. Pre-race favorite Suffern fell almost a lap behind.

Warwick Valley regained the lead early in the second stage with Cecilie Braadt in the front, followed by Runnin’ Gear’s Lisa Sickman. Sickman took the lead on the fifth lap and held it for the rest of the way, clocking a 5:11 split. Meanwhile, Bronxville NY moved into second place, with Warwick third and Colts Neck NJ fourth. Further back, Shelby Greany brought Suffern back into the race with a 5:02.2 carry.

Jenna Leach held the lead for the Indianans with Colts Neck freshman sensation Briana Jackucewicz quickly moving into second and putting on the chase. She caught and passed Leach on the fifth lap, splitting 5:06.2 and giving Colts Neck a 20-meter lead. Warwick Valley was a few seconds back with Suffern following a step behind thanks to Caroline Heidt’s 5:05.1.

Ashley Higginson ran the anchor leg for Colts Neck alone from start to finish, securing the win. Her 220 yard splits were approximately 36.7, 35.7 (1:12.4), 37.6, 37.3 (2:27.3), 37.7, 36.8 (3:42.2), 36.7, 36.8 (4:55.7). Colts Neck won comfortably in 20:38.43. Behind Ashley, Stephanie Morgan tried to defend the silver for Runnin’ Gear, but she had to hold off fast-charging Aislinn Ryan from Warwick Valley. Ryan caught up and passed Morgan with about 250 meters left before Morgan outkicked the former Footlocker champion on the last straightaway. This gave the Clarkston team second place. Suffern’s Kara McKenna sat on Ryan for the first five laps but fell off the pace to finish fourth thanks to her 4:58.4 anchor.

According to Coach Jim Schlentz, Colts Neck’s splits were Kristen O’Dowd 5:16.8, Allison Linnell 5:19.7,Jackucewicz 5:06.2, and Higginson 4:55.7.

Runnin’ Gears approximate splits were Lindsay Smith 5:16, Sickman 5:11, Leach 5:20, and Stephanie Morgan 4:55. The older Morgan sister, Jenny, another sub-5 miler, did not run.

Warwick Valley splits: Pennings 5:10.3, Braadt 5:25.9, Samantha Brady 5:24.3, and Ryan 4:47.8.

Higginson, who two weeks ago won the 3200 meters at the New Jersey Meet of Champions, said her team did not go into the meet with a specific goal other than finishing their indoor campaign with a win. When Jackucewicz got the baton in fourth place, they still had confidence in their victory. Higginson said, “It’s great to have teammates who put you in a good position.” She added they actually peaked for this meet without major rest before the MoC. Higginson and Jackucewicz will finish their indoor seasons Sunday with the open 2-mile and then focus on the outdoor season with the distance medley at the Penn Relays as their first major challenge.

 

On Day 3 of the Nationals, Ashley and Briana came back in the 2 mile.  Ashley finished 3rd to make All-American for the 2nd year in a row.  Briana had to stop after feeling a strain in her hamstring that became a little too serious.
