Here are the top 500 performers on the Holmdel Park 5K course in 2023. Each athlete is ranked once but if they ran multiple times that would have made the cut we also listed those unranked performances.
Emma Zawatski of Freehold Township, the two-time Meet of Champions winner, and Paige Sheppard of Union Catholic, a star freshman, hold the top four times overall this season at the historic layout and were the only girls under 18 minutes in 2023. Their times of 17:52 and 17:54 both recorded during their epic showdown during the NJSIAA Meet of Champions.
Rosemary Shay of Middletown South is third by individual rankings with her 18:09. Liliah Gordon of Northern Burlington, who is the second ranked returner heading into the 2024 cross country season posted an 18:14, and 18:17, and an 18:19 this season!
