Charlotte Bednar added yet another New Jersey state record to her trophy cabinet on Saturday night during the Garden State Twilight Relays.
The Lawrenceville School junior clocked a 9:59.34 over the eight-lap race to take down the state record of 10:10.24 set by Abby Loveys of Randolph at the 2019 Morris County Championships..
The 9:59.34 moves Bednar up to US No. 4 this outdoor season. Only Mia Barnett of CA [9:52.23], Jenna Hutchins of TN [9:52.33], and Brynn Brown of TX [9:59.17] have run faster in 2021.
