Twenty Falcons flew to Holmdel Park for the 50th running of the Shore Coaches Invitational, one of the biggest and most competitive meets in the state. Racing against some of the strongest teams from New Jersey in what many consider a helpful midseason test, Peddie ran well and established a strong foundation for continued growth as the second half of season unfolds.

Tri-captains Shanel Tan ’26 (16th, 20:42) and Charis Chien ’27 (29th, 21:28) had two of the best days for the Falcons, as their top-30 finishes earned them medals in the girls varsity F race. The remaining three runners demonstrated the potential of the Peddie pack, as Blanka Mularczyk ’27 (92nd, 24:29), tri-captain Sophie Winn ’26 (97th, 24:39) and Louisa Blix ’28 (101st, 24:48) worked well together throughout the five-kilometer course.

Tri-captain Theo Salapatas ’27 turned in an impressive performance of his own in the boys varsity F race, besting his time from last year’s race by over a minute with a 18:47 finish that earned him 68th place. Andrew Kim ’29 led the rest of the Peddie pack in his first varsity race as a Falcon (116th, 20:47) while Josh Li ’26 (120th, 21:07), Justin Zhang ’28 (122nd, 21:20), Rohan Bhamidipati ’28 (125th, 21:39) and Leo Pan-Wang ’26 (126th, 21:39) followed the model set by their female counterparts and exhibited clear teamwork every step of the way.

In the boys JV E race, Jacob Kidd ’26 (124th, 22:05) was the first Falcon to cross the finish line, followed by Arnav Shankar ’28 (162nd, 22:54), Evan Ren ’27 (180th, 23:22), Brennan Caldwell ’28 (187th, 23:26), Justin Tang ’27 (217th, 24:14) and Sam Lallier ’28 (231st, 24:49).

The Falcons’ final race of the morning was the boys freshman C race, which saw a trio of ninth graders navigate a two-mile course together and finish within 16 seconds of each other. Landon Lill ’29 took 50th place in a time of 14:01 while Aaryan Patel ’29 and Jaden Liu ’29 finished 58th and 60th, respectively, in identical times of 14:17.
