The Peddie cross country team The Hill School and The Lawrenceville School in a tri-meet at home at Peddie Golf Course.

On a day when Lawrenceville’s Blair Bartlett lowered the course record that she shattered just two weeks ago (winning the girls race in a time of 16:16, 32 seconds faster than her mark set at this year’s Jerry Hart Invitational), 21 of 34 Peddie runners posted personal records over the span of the 5-kilometer layout at the Peddie Golf Course.

Among that group were the top three Falcons in the girls race, as Caitlin Williams ’26 (second, 19:19), tri-captain Shanel Tan ’26 (third, 19:34), and tri-captain Charis Chien ’27 (fifth, 20:09) all posted lifetime bests en route to top-five finishes. Blanka Mularczyk ’27 also posted the fastest time of her Peddie career, crossing the line in 15th place with a time of 22:32. Tri-captain Sophie Winn ’26 (20th, 23:30) rounded out the scoring five for the Falcons, which secured them a 20-37 victory over Hill (Lawrenceville bested Peddie, 26-33, and also beat their archrivals from Hill, 15-48). Kira Pramanik ’26 (24th, 24:16), Alya Kim ’29 (25th, 24:21) and Sophie Wang ’27 (31st, 25:45) also submitted strong performances for Peddie.

In the boys race, Elie Meyer ’26 ran in close pursuit of Lawrenceville’s Arunav Sarkar all afternoon and ultimately finished just shy of his first individual win of the season, taking second place with a time of 16:33 (nearly identical to his mark from two weeks ago). Tri-captains Dasyer Bullock ’26 (12th, 18:07) and Theo Salapatas ’27 (14th, 18:08) worked well together down the stretch, just as they have in workouts all fall. Fellow tri-captain Ethan Sbarro ’26 (21st, 18:53) and Josh Li ’26 (24th, 19:01) completed the scoring five for the Falcons, which lost both of the dual meet tallies to Lawrenceville (19-43) and Hill (22-36).

Also competing for Peddie were Andrew Kim ’29 (27th, 19:09), Jacob Kidd ’26 (31st, 19:19), Leo Pan-Wang ’26 (32nd, 19:30), Aaryan Patel ’29 (38th, 19:56), Rohan Bhamidipati ’28 (47th, 20:35), Arnav Shankar ’28 (49th, 20:49), Landon Lill ’29 (50th, 20:50), Victor Qian ’29 (51st, 20:51), Jaden Liu ’29 (52nd, 20:57), Wei Jie Ng ’27 (53rd, 20:58), Milan Shah ’27 (56th, 22:00), Brennan Caldwell ’28 (57th, 22:02), Sam Lallier ’28 (59th, 22:27), Justin Tang ’28 (60th, 22:38), Alan Wang ’29 (62nd, 22:52), Jerry Yao ’26 (65th, 24:26), Austin Hua ’27 (67th, 25:02), Lucas Goodman ’29 (70th, 25:58), Luke Liu ’27 (72nd, 26:36) and Hari Pandya ’28 (74th, 26:36).
