From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Deptford senior Kareem Brown moved into the all-time South Jersey top-10 in the 400-meter hurdles with a huge race Wednesday at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken.

Brown placed 2nd in 52.28, 9th-fastest in South Jersey history and 3rd-fastest on the all-time Gloucester County list behind Fred Sharpe of Paulsboro in 1997 and Washington Township’s Tim Carey in 2009. So fastest 400IH time by a Gloucester County runner in 17 years.

Brown lowered his PR from 53.07 from the state Group 3 meet at Northern Burlington and broke the school record of 52.65 set by Lathan Brown at the 2023 Meet of Champions in Somerset.

Kasey Kinsley of Hunterdon Central won the race in 51.91, breaking the Hunterdon County record of 52.35 set by Hunterdon Central’s Jameson Woodell at the 2018 Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington.

Brown’s 52.28 is also 8th-fastest ever by a South Jersey intermediate hurdler at the Meet of Champions.

Kingsway senior Max Dyer ran a PR and Kingsway school-record 54.84 in 12th place, Northern Burlington junior Chandler Richardson was just behind him in 54.95, Egg Harbor junior Xavier Auceule ran a PR 55.48 for 14th and Buena junior Malik Smith PR’d at 56.07 for 16th.

What a legendary race Wednesday for Haddonfield’s Dylan Hosty, who not only broke her own New Jersey freshman class record but became the 2^nd-fastest half-miler in South Jersey history.

Hosty placed 4^th in the fastest Meet of Champions 800 ever with a 2:06.04, fast enough to win the 800 at 46 of the previous 51 Meet of Champions.

She’s the fastest freshman in the U.S. and it looks like she’ll be No. 12 on the World Athletics Under-18 list, although her performance hasn’t been added yet. Her time is 14^th-fastest in the U.S., according to the MileSplit national database.

Eastern’s Natalie Dumas, who set the meet-record 2:02.75 last year, won the race in 2:03.46, her fastest time since she set the state record of 2:00.11 last June at West Philly Nationals. Stella Blanchard of the Wilberforce School in Plainsboro was 2^nd in a big PR 2:03.64, 6^th-fastest in state history and 3^rd-fastest in meet history, and former national champ Reagan Moore of Oak Knoll School in Summit was 3^rd in 2:05.54, just off her 2:05.47 PR.

The race produced four of the 10-fastest times in meet history and the fastest 2^nd-, 3^rd– and 4^th-place times ever.

Hosty lowered her PR and state freshman record more than two seconds, from 2:08.12, which she ran last month at the Camden County Championships at Haddon Township. Although class record information is incomplete, we found only six freshman girls who have run faster.

The official results show Hosty out in 64.92 and back in 61.12, which is wild.

Hosty broke the Haddonfield school record of 2:07.33 set at the 2009 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield by Olympian Marielle Hall.

Ocean City junior Carly Godfrey placed 6^th in 2:10.36, the 2^nd-fastest 6^th-place time in meet history. Olivia Capala Morris Knolls was 6^th in 2:09.92. Godfrey’s time is 10^th-fastest in South Jersey history and just off the Cape May County record of 2:09.84 set by Ocean City’s Rachel Stremme at the 2014 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield.

Moorestown sophomore Payton Derer placed 8^th in 2:11.37, the fastest 8^th-place time in meet history. Derer dropped her PR from 2:11.85 from the state Group 3 meet last month at Northern Burlington. Her time is No. 2 in Burlington County history, behind only a 2:10.55 by Lenape’s Shelby Whetstone. Derer is now up to No. 16 in South Jersey history.

The Winslow girls shattered the meet record in the 1,600-meter relay Wednesday night in the final event of the Meet of Champions.

Sophomore Amariah Arango, sophomore Jasmine Jackson, junior Cinniya Robinson and senior Olivia Okaro ran 3:42.17 and won by 35 meters over Kingsway in a 1-2-3 South Jersey finish, with Pennsauken 3^rd.

Winslow’s 3:42.17 broke the meet record of 3:42.54 set by Columbia at the 2010 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield.

Winslow was a bit faster at the Penn Relays, where they ran 3:41.17 and placed 5^th in the Championship of America.

But they ran faster than anybody ever has since the inception of the girls Meet of Champions in 1974.

Arango led off with a 56.03 split, Jackson ran 55.56, Robinson split 54.69 and Okaro anchored in 55.90.

Winslow set a South Jersey record of 3:40.64 at the Penn Relays, with Pennsauken running the 2^nd-fastest time in South Jersey history in the same race at 3:41.89.

This was Winslow’s 5^th 4-by-4 Meet of Champions win, following wins in 2003, 2004, 2017 and 2018.

Kingsway’s 3:47.92 is 2^nd-fastest on the all-time Gloucester County list behind only Clayton’s 3:44.67 with the Sharpe sisters and Kelsey Thomas at the 2022 Penn Relays.

For Kingsway, sophomore Talia Griscom led off with a 59.07, followed by junior Kenya Nobles [56.82], junior Norah Brown [56.56] and sophomore Noemi Haller [55.49].

Pennsauken, racing without 100 and 200 winner Sianni Wynn, was 3^rd in 3:50.24 with junior Summer Schaffer [56.41], sophomore Rai’ana Rucker [56.51], junior Natalia Sanchez [61.25] and sophomore Hope Edwards [56.09].

This is the first time South Jersey has swept the top three spots in the Meet of Champions 4-by-4 since 2002, when Willingboro won with a 3:44.64, Eastern was 2^nd in 3:50.31 and Winslow took 3^rd at 3:53.80.

Winslow’s Jasmine Jackson smashed her own South Jersey 100-meter hurdles record and her own state sophomore record with the 2^nd-fastest time in Meet of Champions history Wednesday at Pennsauken

Jackson lowered her South Jersey record from 13.39, which she had run twice, to 13.28. Only Taylor Cox and Dawn Bowles have run faster in New Jersey track history.

Jackson won by a whopping 34-100^th of a second over Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt, whose 13.62 is No. 8 in state history and 2^nd-fastest all-time in South Jersey history. She broke the Atlantic County record 66 set by 2019 World Champion Nia Ali of Pleasantville, who ran 13.65 at 2006 Greensboro Nationals.

Pennsauken senior Olivia Dupree placed 3^rd in a 1-2-3 South Jersey sweep with a big PR of 13.82, which is No. 19 in state history and No. 6 on the all-time South Jersey list.

The race produced the fastest 2^nd-, 3^rd-, 4^th-, 5^th– and 6^th-place times in meet history.

Winslow senior Quayd Hendryx ran the 6^th-fastest legal 200 in South Jersey history Wednesday when he placed 2^nd in the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken.

Hendryx ran 21.19 with a legal 0.3 meters-per-second headwind, lowering his PR from 21.37 at the Camden County Championships at Haddon Township last month. Hendryx was 4^th in the M-of-C 200 last year in 21.47 as a Burlington Township junior.

Hendryx’s time is No. 14 in meet history including all wind conditions.

Earlier in the day, Hendryx ran on Winslow’s 1^st-place 400-meter relay team, which ran 40.97, 4^th-fastest in state history.

Jamell Wilmote, a senior at North Brunswick, won the race in 20.77, 2^nd-fastest in meet history and 3^rd-fastest in state history.

Pemberton senior Jaden Goins placed 6^th in 21.66, Camden senior Jaiden Steele was 8^th in 21.78 and Eastern senior Ashton Gage ran 21.86 for 10^th.

Sianni Wynn won her state-record 15^th total Meet of Champions titles Wednesday when she tied her 200 PR after winning the 100 earlier in the day on her home track at Pennsauken.

Wynn won the 200 in 23.05 with legal wind after winning the 100 in a legal 11.45. The 23.05 is just 9-100ths of a second off the state record of 22.96 set by Sydney McLaughlin in 2017.

Wynn now has seven outdoor Meet of Champions titles, 3^rd-most ever behind Natalie Dumas and Jodie Bilotta, along with her eight indoor M-of-C titles. She’s never lost a race at a Meet of Champions.

Wynn’s 11.45 is 3^rd-fastest in meet history and her 23.05 breaks the FAT meet record of 23.20 that she set last year. Trenton’s Wendy Vereen ran a hand-timed 23.0 in 1983 and that will be listed alongside Wynn’s time in the record books.

Wynn also anchored Pennsauken’s winning 400-meter relay team, which ran 45.33 to obliterate the meet record of 46.22 set last year by Union Catholic. That’s 3-100ths off their state record from the Penn Relays.

Natalie Dumas tied the legendary Jodie Bilotta for most individual Meet of Champions titles Wednesday with her 3^rd win of the day in the 800.

Dumas ran 2:03.46 and held off sophomore Stella Blanchard of the Wilberforce School in Plainsboro, who ran 2:03.64. Dumas now has eight lifetime outdoor M-of-C individual titles and 11 including indoor. That’s 2^nd-most behind Pennsauken’s Sianni Wynn, who won her 14^th earlier Wednesday in the 100 and will run the 200 soon.

Dumas’s time is her fastest since West Philly Nationals a year ago, which she won in a state-record 2:00.11.

Haddonfield’s Dylan Hosty was 4^th in 2:06.04, lowering her own state freshman record, Ocean City junior Carly Godfrey ran 2:10.36 for 6^th place, and Moorestown sophomore Payton Derer ran 2:11.37 for 8^th place.

Winslow Township’s Keyon Ali, Quayd Hendryx, KaRon Caesar and Jaylon Moss ran the 4th-fastest 400-meter relay in state history Wednesday, ran the 2nd-fastest time in Meet of Champions history and won the 4-by-1 for the first time.

Winslow ran 40.97, 2^nd only to Burlington Township’s 40.75 to win last year’s race in meet history. Hendryx, who was at Burlington Township last year, ran on both teams.

South Jersey schools took four of the top five places, with Deptford 3^rd in 41.41, Williamstown 4^th in 41.50 and Camden 5^th in 41.70.

Deptford, with Liam Brown, Xavion Holmes, Johann Hernandez and Kareem Brown, ran the 11s^t-fastest time in South Jersey history and 7^th-fastest in meet history, and Williamstown, with Jasiah Gibbons, Ian Israel Jr., Joshua George-Oyewole and Omofolawe Adepelumi, ran the 20^th-fastest time in state history and 13^th-fastest in meet history. Jawan Brownlee, Christian Braxton, Wasi Muhammad and Jaiden Steele ran for Camden.

Deptford senior Mason Henry, needing to clear a pole vault PR to take over the lead, cleared a lifetime-best 15-6 to win the vault at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken.

Henry, who had cleared 15-6 indoors but never outdoors, was behind Hunterdon Central’s Ryan Shalley when the bar moved up to 15-6. Shalley was clean through 15-0 and Henry had a miss at 15-0.

But Henry cleared 15-6 on his 1st attempt, Shalley didn’t get over the bar and Henry became Deptford’s 3rd Meet of Champions winner.

Henry’s 15-6 equals 6th-best in South Jersey history and equals the 2nd-best vault ever by a South Jersey athlete at the Meet of Champions. Ryan Merlino won the 2024 meet at 16-0. Ed Frey of Cinnaminson also cleared 2025 last year when he placed 2nd. The 15-6 is tied for 8th-best in meet history.

Deptford’s only other individual winners at the Meet of Champions are Ken Manahan in the discus in 1976 and Bruce Owens in the 100 in 2004. The 4-by-1 team won in 2018.
