Results | Photos

The Pingry School girls repeated, the Voorhees boys won a thriller, and Lukas Disko and Daphne Roskowski burned the fastest times at Tuesday's Skyland Conference Championships at the Phillipsburg Athletic Complex.

Let's start out with the girls race where No. 9 ranked Pingry edged No. 15 North Hunterdon, 77-89 with No. 18 Ridge third with with 94 and Hunterdon Central fourth with 96. Individually, Roskowski continued her torrid junior season by winning the race in 18:58.1, 10 seconds ahead of runner-up Molly Domurat of Hunterdon Central.

Roskowski, who was slowed by iron issues last year, is now four-for-four this season, winning all her races with sub 19 times!!!   

Pingry's used a scoring combination of 4-5-18-24-26, averaged 20:31 on the rugged course 3.1-mile layout and had a 1-5 spread of 68 seconds.  Their top five were senior Kayla Kerr, fourth in 19:50.9, senior Lucy Ambrogio, sixth in 19:57.7, sophomore Caroline McNulty, 20th in 20:53.7, junior Sari Berman, 26th in 20:55.2, and junior Julia Ronnen, 28th in 20:58.9.

The boys race was a barn-burner as No. 16 Voorhees returned to the winner's circle for the first time since 2016 with a dramatic 73-75 victory over defending champion and No. 15 Bernards, and Bridgewater-Raritan senior Lukas Disko became a member of the very exclusive sub 16 at P-Burg with a winning time of 15:59.9!!

The Voorhees-Bernards clash was one of the best team battles of the season.

Bernards used a strong 3-4-5 frontal attack to take a 12-17 lead on Voorhees after each team had three runners across the line. But Voorhees overcame that deficit thanks to strong races from the back of their pack, picking up nine points on that No. 4 position.

Voorhees finished with a 2-7-8-19-37 scoring combo and averaged 17:00 with a 1:27 spread. Bernards countered with a 3-4-5-28-35 finish, a 16:58 average, and a 1:32 compression. It doesn't get much closer than that! 

The top 5 runners for Voorhees are all juniors - Austin Fritz, second in 16:20.8, Ben Damiano, seventh in 16:43.8, Anthony Giello, eighth in 16:45.5, Avery Innis, 19th in 17:19.8, and Kyle Beers, 37th in 17:53.7.
