The Delbarton Distance Team traveled to Ridge High School on April 17th to race for new personal bests and did just that.  Nearly every runner beat their previous best time, under the lights and ideal conditions.  

Though most athletes ran the 1600m, there was one heat of highly competitive 800m runners.  Junior Lucien Bret led the charge with a massive personal best and a second place finish overall in 1:57.46.  Junior captain Hans Clovis was close behind, placing fourth in 1:58.12, also his fastest time ever.  Junior Joshua Akakpo eclipsed the 2:00 mark as well, with a huge personal best 1:59.16.  All three athletes ran some of the fastest times in Delbarton School history with a huge season still to go in the junior seasons.  

Not to be outdone, junior Todd Smith Jr. ran a big personal best as well in the 1600m at 4:31.81.

Looking to build off of this monumental achievement, the future is bright for these young men.
