From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Kingsway’s Evan Corcoran achieved something this year that only three others have ever achieved in the long, storied history of Rowan track.

He earned All-America honors in three events at one meet.

At the NCAA Division 3 Championships in La Crosse, Wisc., Corcoran placed 3^rd in the 100-meter dash with a wind-legal school-record 10.30, 2^nd-fastest ever by an NJAC sprinter, he placed 8^th in the 200 in 21.31 with a legal 1.7 wind and he ran the second leg on Rowan’s 2^nd-place 400-meter relay team, whose 39.56 is 6^th-fastest time in D-3 history. Madaijoudou Diawara, Penns Grove’s Eli Hendrix and Eastern’s Rajahn Dixon also ran on that team.

Corcoran is now a five-time All-America overall having previously run on Rowan’s 2^nd-place 400-meter relay teams in 2023 and 2025.

Rowan’s first triple All-America was middle-distance star Willie Lawson from Plainfield, who did it as a freshman. At the 1982 meet at North Central College in Naperville, Ill., Lawson won the 800 in 1:50.29, placed 6^th in the 400 in 47.62 and anchored Glassboro State’s 1,600-meter relay tam, which was 2^nd in 3:11.53.

Sixteen years later, at the 1998 D-3 Championships at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., Rich Dixon of Dover, Del., won the 400 in 47.58, placed 5^th in the 200 in 21.75 and ran on Rowan’s 4-by-4, which was 3^rd in 3:12.37.

Most recently, Jah’mere Beasley of Sterling achieved the rare triple at the 2023 meet at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, placing 5^th in the 200 in 21.06 and racing on Rowan’s 2^nd-place 4-by-1 tam [40.14] and 3^rd-place 4-by-4 [3:08.74].

Corcoran has a year of indoor eligibility remaining at Rowan.

I put together an all-time list of Rowan outdoor All-America picks with their event, performance and high school. This took forever so please check it out!

Eight South Jersey athletes will be competing in the NCAA Division 1 Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene starting tomorrow.

Washington Township’s Ajani Dwyer, Riverside’s Jamir Brown and Lumberton’s Greg Foster are all top-10 seeds in their specialties, Dwyer in the 100, Brown in the 110 hurdles and Foster in the long jump.

They all qualified in the NCAA East Regional Prelims two weeks ago in Lexington, Ky.

Dwyer, a Penn State sophomore, is tied for the No. 3 seed in the 100-meter dash with his 9.99 in Lexington. He’s run as fast as 9.93 this year and 9.98 with legal wind. He’s ranked 18^th in the world with legal wind and 7^th among American men. Dwyer races in the semis at 6:25 p.m. Wednesday, with the final slated for 5:52 p.m. Friday.

Brown, a Syracuse sophomore, is tied for the No. 7 seed in the 110-meter hurdles with a lifetime-best 13.25 in Lexington. He’s No. 21 in the world and No. 13 among American men with legal wind. Brown races in the hurdles qualifying at 6:08 p.m. Wednesday, with the final at 5:42 p.m. Friday.

Foster, a Princeton junior, is the No. 9 seed in the long jump after a 25-10 ¾ in Lexington. He’s jumped 26-5 ½ with legal wind this outdoor season and 27-0 ½ indoors. He’s No. 14 in the world and No. 3 American. The long jump final is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Wednesday.

The other individual who qualified is Rutgers junior Jenovia Logan, a Sterling graduate, who is the No. 16 seed in the high jump with her 5-10 ½ in Lexington. Her PR is 5-11 ¼. She competes at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Everyone else will race in the 1,600-meter relays.

Clayton’s Alexander Osayemi, a true freshman at Alabama, will run on the Crimson Tide 4-by-4, which qualified with a 3:02.45, and Pennsauken’s Premier Wynn, a Tennessee junior, will run on the Vols’ 4-by-4 team, which ran 3:01.25 at Regionals.

Tennessee is the No. 5 seed and Alabama is No. 12. Tennessee ran 3:01.06 in Lexington, which is No. 7 on the 2026 U.S. list. Alabama’s 3:02.45 from Lexington is No. 11.

The men’s 1,600-meter relay first round is scheduled for 8:36 p.m. Wednesday, with the final at 7:21 p.m. Friday.

The Arkansas women’s 4-by-4 lists Clayton twins Amirah and Arianna in its 4-by-4 pool. Arkansas ran 3:21.83 in Fayetteville, No. 4 in the world. The women’s 4-by-4 runs at 8:36 p.m. Thursday, with the final at 7:21 p.m. Saturday.

Winslow’s Jasmine Jackson isn’t just the fastest sophomore hurdler in the country this year, she’s one of the fastest ever.

Jackson, who won the Brooks P.R. Invitational in Renton, Wash., on Sunday, set a South Jersey and state sophomore record of 13.28 at the Meet of Champions Wednesday at Pennsauken with a 1.3 wind reading.

Turns out that 13.28 is 4^th-fastest ever by a U.S. sophomore and 3^rd-fastest in a wind-legal race.

Tia Jones set the national sophomore class record of 13.01 with a 0.4 tailwind when she won the 100-meter highs at the 2017 Pan Am Junior Championships at Chan Chan Stadium in Trujillo, Peru. Jones went on to set a world indoor record of 7.67 in the 60-meter highs in Albuquerque in 2024 [since broken by Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas] and is No. 3 in world history outdoors with her 12.19 in Miramar, Fla., at a Grand Slam Track meet last May.

Aleesa Samuel of Somerset Academy in Pembroke Pines, Fla., is No. 2 all-time with a 13.26 at a meet in 2023 in Miami into a 2.0 headwind, and Jackie Coward of Knoxville West is No. 3 all-time with a 13.27 at the 2006 Junior Olympic Championshisp in Baltimore, but that was aided by a 3.1 tailwind and her fastest legal time was a 13.62 at a meet in Indianapolis.

Three girls have run 13.28 as sophomores – Kendall Williams of Kell High in Marietta, Ga., in Lille France, in2 011, Rebekah Jhade-Garrett of North Canyon High in Phoenix in 2024 and Jackson. Both were either wind-aided or didn’t have a wind gauge, which is essentially the same. Williams’ fastest legal time was a 13.45 and Jhade-Garrett’s was 13.41.

That leaves Jones, Samuel and Jackson as the only three U.S. sophomores who have run a wind-legal hurdles time of 13.28 or faster.

Jackson’s time is 3^rd-fastest in state history behind Taylor Cox, who ran 13.18 at last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken and Dawn Bowles of Neptune, who ran 13.20 at the 1985 Golden West Invitational in Sacramento.

Jackson is No. 8 on the World Athletics Under-20 list and No. 3 among American women. She’s No. 3 on the Under 18 world list. Sh’s not currently entered in U.S. Under 20 Championships in Eugene later this month.

Her first year of high school track isn’t even over yet and Dylan Hosty has already become one of the greatest middle-distance runners in state history.

With her historic 4:42.21 full mile Sunday in Renton, Wash., four days after her mind-blowing 2:06.04 for 800 meters at the Meet of Champions, the Haddonfield freshman is one of only two girls in state history to run sub-2:07 and sub-4:45 in her entire career.

And Hosty did it in the span of five days on opposite sides of the country, breaking two school records held by Olympians – Marielle Hall’s 800 record and Haddonfield coach Erin Donohue’s mile record.

Hosty’s 2:06.04 is No. 2 in South Jersey history behind Natalie Dumas’s 2:00.11 at West Philly Nationals last June and No. 14 in state history. Her 4:42.21 is a South Jersey record and No. 5 in state history.

Sheppard is No. 2 in state history in the 800 at 2:00.65 from Brooks P.R. on Sunday and the state record holder in the mile at 4:33.67 from last year’s West Philly Nationals.

Several New Jersey girls have come close to that unique double. Ridgewood’s Camryn Wennersten ran 2:07.68 and 4:43.83, Danielle Tauro ran 2:09.21 and 4:39.25, Sophia Thompson ran 2:08.99 and 4:41.84, Blair Bartlett has gone 2:09.78 and 4:39.63 and Lily Shapiro ran 2:06.94 and 4:40.15 for 1,600 meters. Ajee’ Wilson ran 2:00.91 and 4:52.89. Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu ran 2:01.17 but never ran a high school mile.

Hosty is one of only five girls in the country – and the only freshman – who have run as fast as 2:06.04 and 4:42.21 this year.

The others are junior Ellery Lincoln of Lincoln High in Portland, Ore. [4:27.65, 2:05.21]; senior Braelyn Combe of Santiago High in Corona, Calif. [2:04.52, 4:32.41]; sophomore Kaitlyn Estep of Cardinal Gibbons in Raleigh, N.C. [2:04.78, 4:36.56]; and sophomore Kara Glenn of North High in St. Charles, Ill. [2:05.66, 4:38.68].

Hosty is the first freshman to run 2:06.04 and 4:42.21 since Sadie Englehardt of Ventura, Calif., ran 2:05.66 and 4:35.16 in 2022. She’s now an All-America at North Carolina State

Dylan Hosty is now faster than the Olympian she’s coached by.

In one of the greatest performances ever by a South Jersey runner, Hosty on Sunday destroyed Erin Donohue’s South Jersey – and school – mile record at the Brooks P.R. Invitational in Renton, Wash.

Hosty ran 4:42.21 and broke Donohue’s South Jersey mile record of 4:42.96 set 25 years ago this month at North Carolina’s Paul Derr Track at Raleigh Nationals.

Her time is 5^th-fastest in state history and fastest ever by a freshman. Four days after setting a state freshman 800 record of 2:06.04 at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken, she broke the New Jersey freshman record of 4:47.04 set by Sparta’s Claudia DiSomma in a meet at Icahn Stadium in New York in June 2013.

The only runners in New Jersey track history to run faster than Hosty are Paige Sheppard [4:33.67 last June at West Philly Nationals], Southern Regional’s Danielle Tauro [4:39.25 at 2006 Greensboro Nationals], Blair Bartlett of the Lawrenceville School [4:39.63 last June in St. Louis] and Sophia Thompson [4:41.84 last June at West Philly Nationals].

Hosty lowered her mile PR from 4:49.48 at the Penn Relays in April. She ran a faster equivalent for 1,600 meters with a 4:47.58 at the state Group 2 meet at Northern Burlington last month.

Despite a first lap of 72.80, Hosty was in 9^th and last place 400 meters in. She was still in 8^th after coming through 800 meters in 2:24.73. But she moved into 4^th with a 71.89 3^rd lap and closed in 65.60 for a final 800 of 2:17.49, finishing 5^th overall.

Hosty is the only South Jersey freshman who ran 2:17.49 or faster for 800 meters this year.

Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson topped a loaded field of some of the top hurdlers in the country Sunday at the Brooks P.R. Invitational in Renton, Wash., outside Seattle.

Jackson edged Nia Armstrong of Sickles High in Tampa by 1-100^th of a second to win the 100-meter hurdles at the 15^th annual Brooks P.R. at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Jackson ran 13.33 to Armstrong’s 13.34. No wind information listed at the moment. Nobody else in the field ran under 13.50.

Jackson set the South Jersey record and state sophomore record of 13.28 at the Meet of Champions Wednesday at Pennsauken. That’s No. 2 in state history.

Jackson has raced 12 times over the 100-meter hurdles this year and won every race. Her last loss came in the freshman race at West Philly Nationals, where Armstrong edged her, 13.53 to 13.73.

Two days after throwing 275-2 in Italy, Curtis Thompson popped an even bigger throw in Texas.

Thompson won the javelin Saturday at the Lone Star Grand Prix in College Station, Texas, with a 278-6 on his 1st throw, the 8th-best throw of his life. Two days earlier, he placed 3rd in the Golden Gala Pietro Mnnea Diamond Discipline at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Thompson was only inches off his 2026 season best of 279-11 from Ramona, Okla., in April. That’s No. 4 in the world this year and No. 1 among U.S. men.

He broke the Texas A&M E.B. Cushing Stadium record of 273-4 set last month by Chinecherem Prosper Nnamdi of Texas A&M and Nigeria at the 2026 Alumni Muster.

Three of Thompson’s four-best first throws have come this year, including his last three meets. He currently owns five of the six-longest throws this year by Americans.

After a 250-0 and three fouls, Thompson closed with a 275-1, giving him five 250-foot throws this year after he only had 10 in his entire career before this season.

The 275-1 is his best 6^th throw ever, surpassing the 271-7 he had on his final throw of the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene.

The 2014 Florence graduate now has eight throws of 270 feet this year and 29 in his brilliant career.

Sindri Hrafn Gudmundsson, a three-time Iceland national champion, place 2^nd with a best throw of 256-7.

Thompson, a two-time Olympian and 2025 World Championships bronze medalist, ranks 3rd in U.S. history with his PR 287-11 at last year’s Texas Relays in Austin. That’s the best throw by an American since Breaux Greer’s 299-6 in Indianapolis in 2007.

Thompson, a five-time U.S. champion and two-time Olympian, goes for his sixth national title next month in New York.

The USATF Championships are scheduled for July 23-26 at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island. Thompson is seeking his 4th straight national title.

Dumas is only entered in the 400-meter dash, which she won Wednesday at the Meet of Champions in a season-best 52.14, 8^th-fastest in the U.S. this year. She PR’d at 51.14 as part of her West Philly Nationals triple last year.

It appears the next-fastest competitor in the 400 is Sophia Castaneda of Newberg, Ore., who ran 52.17 at a meet in May in Bend, Ore. The meet record is 52.01 by Skyler Franklin of Monteverde (Fla.) Academy in 2024.

There is an 800 at Brooks PR and New Jersey junior Paige Sheppard, who ran 2:01.50 at this meet last year, is the No. 1 seed. Sheppard and Dumas haven’t raced each other since Track Night NYC at Icahn Stadium on May 1, when Sheppard ran 2:02.37 and Dumas 2:04.00.

Jackson, who dropped the South Jersey 100-meter hurdles record to 13.28 on Wednesday, is No. 5 in the country and No. 1 among underclassmen. She’s No. 3 in New Jersey history and the state sophomore class record holder.

Hosty will race in the freshman mile after running 2:06.04 for 800 meters Wednesday, the New Jersey freshman record. She’s No. 15 nationally, No. 1 among freshmen and No. 14 on the all-time New Jersey list. She’s run 4:49.48 for a full mile and a slightly faster 4:47.58 for 1,600 meters. She’s 6^th nationally among freshman at 1,600 meters and No. 5 among New Jersey freshmen. The South Jersey freshman record is 4:45.97, which Briana Gess ran at the 2014 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield.

Assuming the times on the meet’s web site are listed in Pacific Daylight Time, Dumas’s 400 is scheduled for 5 p.m. EST, Jackson will race at 5:28 p.m. in a one-race final and Hosty runs at 7:01 p.m.

Winslow’s Ma’Syiah Brawner competed in her final Meet of Champions Wednesday and did what she always does.

Win medals.

Brawner capped a remarkable Meet of Champions record by picking up her 17th and 18th career Meet of Champions medals. Has anybody ever won more?

Brawner has now won 10 outdoor Meet of Champions medals to go with seven indoors. Brawner won the triple jump at the 2024 Meet of Champions and has three 2nds, six 3rds, four 4ths, two 5ths and two 6ths as well.

For the sake of comparison, Sianni Wynn earned 15 Meet of Champions medals and Natalie Dumas 12.

On Wednesday, Brawner took 3rd in the long jump at 18-6 ½ and 4th in the triple jump with a 39-2.

Brawner won seven state titles during her Winslow career. She has PRs of 14.46 in the 100-meter hurdles, 5-5 in the high jump 40-6 ¼ triple jump and 19-8 in the long jump. On the all-time South Jersey lists, she’s No. 3 in the indoor triple jump [39-4], No. 5 all-time outdoors in the long jump, No. 4 in the outdoor triple jump and No. 3 in the indoor triple jump.

For Brawner, it wasn’t just about individual medals. She was always a huge point scorer as Winslow dominated on the team level. During her four years, Winslow won state indoor titles in 2025 and 2026, state relay titles all four years and outdoor titles in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
