The best runners, jumpers, and throwers in the Colonial Valley Conference toed off against each other at the Bubble on Sunday for the CVC Winter Track Championship! There were too many PRs and impressive performances to name them all, but here are highlights for the six medalists in each event.
This is the girls recap. Check out the boys recap here.
Girls Team Champions
| No. | Points | School | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 78 | WW-P North |  |
| 2 | 58 | Hopewell Valley |  |
| 3 | 54 | WW-P South |  |
| 4 | 51 | Lawrence |  |
| 5 | 49 | Princeton |  |
| 6 | 24 | Allentown |  |
First off, congrats to the WW-P North girls! With scorers in every running event except the 55m dash, plus the triple jump and pole vault, the Knights ran away with this one.
Girls 400m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1:01.28 | Anastasia Kudin | 2025 | |
| 2 | 1:01.47 | Brie Davis-Owens | 2025 | |
| 3 | 1:01.50 | Adama Turay | 2025 | |
| 4 | 1:03.19 | Hailie Zimmerman | 2025 |  |
| 5 | 1:03.33 | Claire Dumortier | 2025 | |
| 6 | 1:03.58 | Ariana Crusoe Gaye | 2027 |  |
This was a tight race up front, with the top three separated by less than 0.25. Kudin got the win after she and Brie-Owens caught Turay in the final strides. Zimmerman grabbed 4th place from the second-to-last heat, Dumortier gave the Pirates three scorers in this race, and Crusoe Gaye ran a PR to score a point for Nottingham. Hopewell Valley’s Autumn Carter actually crossed the line a half-second ahead of everyone but was DQ’d for cutting in off the break a few steps too early.
Girls 1600m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5:01.20 | Allison Lee | 2026 | |
| 2 | 5:09.06 | Zui Chinchalkar | 2025 | |
| 3 | 5:11.15 | Sydney Young | 2027 | |
| 4 | 5:12.57 | Kajol Karra | 2026 | |
| 5 | 5:21.18 | Claire Dumont | 2025 | |
| 6 | 5:23.00 | Phoenix Roth | 2027 | |
This was probably the most impressive race of the day, at least judging by state rankings! The top 4 in this race crashed the top 30 in New Jersey for 1600m times: Lee (#6), Chinchalkar (#14), Young (#19), and Karra (#26). It was a very aggressive pace up front, with Lee splitting 2:26 and the three-girl chase pack going through in 2:30. As a result, almost all six of these scorers came away with PRs for the indoor 1600m. Lee’s time is #8 all-time in Mercer County, even counting conversions from the mile.
Girls 55m Hurdles
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8.66 | Brie Davis-Owens | 2025 | |
| 2 | 9.04 | Angel Johnson | 2028 |  |
| 3 | 9.11 | Alicia Riggins | 2025 | |
| 4 | 9.14 | Saraiah Hoover | 2025 | |
| 5 | 9.19 | Hailie Zimmerman | 2025 | |
| 6 | 9.25 | Karis Crossland | 2026 | |
Davis-Owens ran a massive PR by more than 0.25 to dominate this race. Johnson and Riggins also sliced a few hundredths off their owns PRs to place 2nd and 3rd in a tight finish.
Girls 800m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2:21.94 | Zui Chinchalkar | 2025 | |
| 2 | 2:24.88 | Lena Murray | 2027 | |
| 3 | 2:28.21 | Rachel Xin | 2025 | |
| 4 | 2:28.37 | Mila Trkov | 2027 | |
| 5 | 2:30.50 | Sydney Young | 2027 | |
| 6 | 2:30.50 | Lisette Zamichieli | 2026 | |
Just a few minutes after getting 2nd place in the 1600m, Chinchalkar jumped back on the track and easily defended her title in the 800m. Behind her were a strong trio of Princeton mid-distance girls, led by Murray with indoor PR that puts her at #3 . Young also scored more points for the Bulldogs on her quick turnaround after getting 3rd place in the 1600m.
Girls 55m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7.31 | Samya Jenkins | 2027 | |
| 2 | 7.38 | Aijah Somerselle | 2026 |  |
| 3 | 7.49 | Bella Daly | 2026 |  |
| 4 | 7.58 | Anaiss Matos | 2025 | |
| 5 | 7.59 | Maddie Hamlin | 2027 | |
| 6 | 7.60 | Logan Mills | 2026 | |
Jenkins ran a PR of 7.45 in the prelims to establish herself as one of the best in Mercer County, and then she ran 7.31 in the finals to present herself as one of the best in the state — Her time is #20 in New Jersey this winter! Somerselle didn’t get the win but still ran well. In fact, she’s run 7.40 or faster in every 55m this season, even counting prelims. Matos PR’d by 0.02, which turned out to be the difference between 4th and 6th.
Girls 3200m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 11:00.75 | Allison Lee | 2026 | |
| 2 | 11:19.27 | Kajol Karra | 2026 | |
| 3 | 11:20.62 | Claire Dumont | 2025 | |
| 4 | 11:26.75 | Izzy Meth | 2027 | |
| 5 | 11:43.12 | Elsie Rey-de-Castro | 2027 | |
| 6 | 11:56.42 | Siena Rivera | 2028 | |
Lee took off with 800m to go and cruised to the win, completing the 1600m/3200m double in one of her first meets back after her immensely successful XC season. Karra, who ran shoulder-to-shoulder with Lee for the first 2400m, held off Dumont in a close finish for 2nd place. Meth, who is running her first winter track season, was just a few seconds off her outdoor PR and now sits at #5 in Mercer County this year.
Girls 200m
| No. | Time | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 26.13 | Samya Jenkins | 2027 | |
| 2 | 26.48 | Aijah Somerselle | 2026 | |
| 3 | 26.93 | Adama Turay | 2025 | |
| 4 | 26.99 | Anastasia Kudin | 2025 | |
| 5 | 27.02 | Brie Davis-Owens | 2025 | |
| 6 | 27.19 | Claire Dumortier | 2025 | |
Somerselle posted a quick mark out of the second-to-last heat, but then Jenkins once again shocked the field with a big PR to win her second title of the day. Her time is a new Lawrence school record! WW-P South’s trio of 400m medalists — Turay, Kudin, and Dumortier — all came back to score more points in this 200m, while the hurdle champion Davis-Owens got 5th place.
Girls 4x400m Relay
| No. | Time | School | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4:14.02 | WW-P South | |
| 2 | 4:15.90 | Princeton | |
| 3 | 4:20.89 | Hopewell Valley | |
| 4 | 4:23.39 | Notre Dame | |
| 5 | 4:25.92 | WW-P North | |
| 6 | 4:33.76 | Lawrence | |
If it wasn’t clear from all their medals in the open 400m and 200m, WW-P South proved in the 4x400m that they have the best group of long sprinters in the CVC. The Pirates’ winning team here consisted of Turay, Dumortier, Kudin, and Saraiah Hoover. But Princeton’s team, which included all their 800m medalists, wasn’t far behind in 2nd place with a time that is #3 in Mercer County this winter.
Girls High Jump

| 6 | 6-6 | Isabella Abrigo | 2027 | |
Rick cleared a PR of 8-6 to put pressure on the CVC leader Trzaskus, but Trzaskus still held on for the win thanks to the tiebreaker on attempts.
Girls Long Jump
| No. | Mark | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16-9 | Adama Turay | 2025 | |
| 2 | 15-2 | Ngozi Okeke-Agulu | 2027 | |

| 4 | 14-10.5 | Isabella Andre | 2025 | |

| 5 | 28-3 | Jayla Little | 2025 | |
| 6 | 27-6.25 | Vanessa Bartnikowski | 2026 | |
Baylor-Reeves threw over 40’ for the sixth meet this season and took the win. Obidike and Bosley were the only other girls to have previously thrown over 30’ (after Nottingham’s Catalina Holliday scratched), and they did so again to take 2nd and 3rd. Wallace was a surprise 4th thanks in part to a six-inch PR.
Girls Triple Jump
| No. | Mark | Name | Grade | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32-0 | Isabelle Andre | 2025 | |
| 2 | 31-4 | Jada Sands | 2027 | |

| 6 | 28-6.5 | Aditi Revuri | 2027 | |
In her first triple jump of the season, Andre leaped to an indoor PR and the #1 mark in Mercer County. Sands also PR’ed by almost a foot in 2nd place. This was also Johnson’s first jump of the season, and she even beat her outdoor PR.
