Marlee Starliper is gearing up for this coming weekend's Millrose Games, but the Northern sophomore decided to get a workout of sorts in at the Franklin & Marshall Invitational #2 in Lancaster.
In the process, Starliper put down a PA#1 time and a surefire state qualifier in the 3,000 meters.
Starliper ran a time of 10:07.06 to take over the state lead in the 3K. In the race, Starliper went out through the mile on her goal pace for the 15-lapper before backing the pace down for the next 800 meters. Then with four laps to go, Starliper ramped up the pace again, dropping a fast final 600 meters.
The race also produced a PA#6 time from Eastern York's Maddie McLain (second place in 10:25.86) and a PA#8 time from Cocalico's Jamie Zamrin (third in 10:34.27).
