WHITE PLAINS - The much repeated phrase goes, "Practice makes perfect."

Maybe.

Sloan Wasserman and four relay runners from Hackley School might disagree.

Wasserman, the John Jay-Cross River senior, who'll run for Boston College next year, won the Loucks Games girls 2,000-meter steeplechase Saturday for the second straight year.

Her 6:41.07 finish is the national girls high school No. 1 time for 2026, the third fastest time run at the historic meet, held annually at White Plains High School, and the third fastest time ever logged at the distance by a Section 1 girl — this, despite the fact the race was run in a cold rain.

Clearly, Wasserman practices for and competes in the event a lot.
