But so did Jaden Marchan of Leonia NJ. The New Jersey Meet of Champions runner-up in the 400 meter last June, Marchan showed a bit more endurance over the final 100 meters and closed a four-meter gap and slipped past on the home straight to win the race in 1:17.66 for a New Jersey all-time best. It's also No. 4 all-time. Wilson tied up a bit over the final 40 but still broke the sophomore class national record after going through 400 meters in 49.7 seconds. His time of 1:17.81 just missed his 2023 best by .01 seconds. A pair of new US#1s came out of the 800 meters event. Allison DeLisi of Penn Charter PA took over the national lead in the girls 800 with 2:10.25. Colin Abrams of Bullis MD led wire to wire to run 1:53.84 in the boys invitational race. Elise Cooper of McDonogh MD tied her US-leading time in the 55 meters with 6.95 seconds. Sydney Sutton from Bullis MDbroke the meet record and ran a US#1 time of 38.19 in the girls invitational 300 meters. In the boys 300 meters, Maxim Copeland from Windsor CT won it with US#8 34.67. Micah Hinton from Western Branch VA won a photo finish over Deron Adams of Pennsbury West PA in the boys 55 dash, 6.46 seconds to 6.47. Athena Stith of Archbishop Spalding MD jumped nine inches beyond her personal best to reach 19-9.50 for a new US#1 in the girls long jump. Union Catholic NJ's Taylor Cox broke the meet record and achieved a new US#1 in the girls 55-meter hurdles with 7.82 seconds. New York hurdles champion Jordon Quinn from Freeport High ran US#3 7.36 to win the 55-meter hurdles. The national leaderboard in the girls mile was in flux at the meet. First, Ella Cohen of Hunter College HS of NYC ran a national-leading time of 4:51.38. Behind her in second, Zariel Macchia of William Floyd NY ran 4:54.62, good for US#3, but she was just warming up. Macchia returned to the track 25 minutes later to race in another section of the girls mile, the club category, and ran a new US#1 with 4:50.47. Trent Daniels, a sophomore from Gainesville VA, dominated the boys mile and won in a US#3 time of 4:18.27. Sophia Curtis (Ocean City NJ) broke the meet record and jumped a US#3 mark of 39-11 to win the triple jump. Sydney Jones from Haverford PA jumped 5-6 to win the girls high jump.
