Scarsdale (NY)’s Adriana Pettinelli erased the national girls freshman record in the event, running 2:46.66 at the Section 1 NY State Qualifier yesterday. Adriana topped the 11 yr old national freshman record held by Sophie Cantine (2:47.64).
Insanely fast time for any HS girl, let alone a 9th grader

The time also broke Katelyn Tuohy's 2:47.86 New York state freshman record from 2017.
Also a terrific kid…great support system…super HS coaches at Scarsdale, great parental support….fine club system…lots of ingredients.

She has been incredible.
Freshman marks of 2:46.6, 4:50 mile and 1:33.93 600m.
And, am told a pretty fair cross country runner
Scarsdale distance running started with Bob Nugent (South Carolina), in the mid to late seventies,
then Tom Nugent (Houston) John and Mark Sullivan(Lehigh and Villanova) Mark Metz (Air Force),
all others followed.
great to see another raider rise up!

She was 5th overall in the merge at the NY XC State Meet this past fall. A tremendous talent with unbelievable range.
