Blair Bartlett Commits To Stanford University

Blair Bartlett of Lawrenceville, one of the top recruits in the country, announced her highly anticipated college decision on Friday afternoon.

The winner is Stanford University!!! 

Bartlett joins the greatest recruiting class ever out of New Jersey that Stanford coach and NJ native J.J. Clark is putting together.

Bartlett joins Union Catholic teammates Paige Sheppard and Sophia Thompson, Reagan Moore of Oak Knoll, and Gavin Schmitt of CBA as Stanford comitts.

NJ has never sent this much firewpower to one school-ever!!!! 

Bartlett, a record-breaking machine during her legendary career for the Big Red, has built one of the greatest resumes in NJ history!!

Last fall, in her first season running XC after giving up tennis, Bartlett made a sudden impact, highlighted by runner-up finishes at both the Nike National Championships and the Brooks National Championships!! She also blew apart several course records.

Bartlett smashed the NJ record for the fastest 5K ever by runnng 16:16 during the Hill-Lawrenceville-Peddie meet at the Peddie School course, and she ran a NJ record and No. 2 all-time 17:00.6 at Bowdoin Park when she won the Nike Northeast Regional. Last January, Bartlett placed 16th out of 66 runners at the US U20 World Cross-Country Championships in the 6K race in 20:36 to help the U.S. place fourth. Bartlett was the only high school runner for Team USA.  

Bartlett has been just as electrifying on the track, racking up an astonishing 9 NJ records (6 indoors and 43 outdoors), with all 9 have come since last February, and last March she won the 5K at the Nike Indoor Nationals in March in a NJ record 15:28.07.
