Harkins Records First Career Sub 5 at Metuchen


The Bulldog Frosh/Soph Meet on Friday featured a slew of personal accomplishments for our young runners. TJ Harkins led the way by breaking 5:00 in the 1600m for the first time in his young career, clocking in at 4:58 for a 6th place finish in the freshman race. This represents a five second PR from a questionable Time Trial with only one witness at best in early March. In the same race, Michael Blandino lowered his 1600m PR by a whopping 21 seconds in running 5:11.

Three more Spartans collected some hardware for their efforts. Caroline Onderko continued her torrid stretch of racing by getting 5th place in the freshman 800m in 2:40.29. Carly Makowicz took 9th place in the sophomore 800m in 2:51.31, and Yoshi Shuyama hopped aboard the PR train and kept his season of improvement going with a 7th place finish in the sophomore 800m in 2:16.42.

Practice Pays Kids.
